Abstract
For indoor air purification, long-term operation of the air purifier induces the growth of germs and the proliferation of molds, and results in the performance degradation of the air filter. Non-thermal plasma technology could be an effective countermeasure against these problems. Ozone generated by the electric discharge has significant germicidal power and does not produce secondary residual contaminants. Electrostatic force can enable the air filter to function as an electric precipitator. In this study, a non-thermal plasma reactor with wire-wire type electrodes and an air filter is investigated experimentally to improve the performance of the used air filter.
