Abstract: An air blowing device and an air blowing system reduces a region where a person cannot be recognized in a space provided with the air blower, and achieves control of the air blower in view of a person in a larger range in the space. The air blower includes: a first sensor configured to detect a position of a human in a first human detection range; a receiver configured to receive a detection result of a second sensor transmitted from a transmitter of a sensor-mounted device, the sensor-mounted device including the second sensor configured to detect a position of a human in a second human detection range; and a controller configured to perform air blowing control when the first sensor does not detect a human in the first human detection range and the second sensor detects a human in the second human detection range.

Abstract: An air purifying operation is performed with a consideration for an influence of a purifying material on a person, and user's comfort and efficiency of the air purifying operation are both achieved. An air purifier includes a casing, an inlet, outlets, blowers, a decontamination unit, air ducts, movable louvers, a horizontal rotation mechanism, an ozone generation mechanism, human detection means, a control unit, or the like. The control unit detects whether or not there is a person in a room by the human detection means. Then, the control unit controls at least one of parameters including an ozone generation amount, a wind direction, an amount, and a speed of blown-out air based on the human detection result. Thus, if there is a person in the room, for example, a human avoiding operation, a human area operation, or the like can be performed. If there is no person, an indoor air purifying operation for uniformly purifying air throughout the room can be performed.

Abstract: An air purifier capable of reducing time required for purification of a room without giving a feeling of discomfort to a human in the room is provided. During operation of an air purifier 1, air drawn from an inlet 3 into a casing 2 is purified by a purification device 7 and the air is blown to the outside from an outlet 4. If a user of the air purifier 1 selects a particular operation mode in which the user designates an air volume, a control device 12 performs air volume maintaining control. In the air volume maintaining control, with a volume of air blown out from the outlet 4 by the air blowing device 5 maintained constant, a speed of the air is varied by an air guiding device 8 based on a status of pollutant detection. Alternatively, the speed of the air is varied by the air guiding device 8 and the volume of the air is varied by the air blowing device 5.

Abstract: To provide an apparatus for capture and inactivation of microbes and viruses, the apparatus is configured to be capable of performing stable removal of microbes and viruses and achieve a reduction in pressure loss. An apparatus 100 includes an air path housing 10, a charging-unit high-voltage electrode 2 that charges airborne microorganisms introduced in the air path housing 10, a charging-unit ground electrode 3 placed so as to face the charging-unit high-voltage electrode 2, a hydrophilic filter 6 that captures the airborne microorganisms charged by the charging-unit high-voltage electrode 2, a capturing/inactivating-unit high-voltage electrode 5 that subjects the hydrophilic filter to electrostatic induction and inactivates the captured viruses, and a capturing/inactivating-unit ground electrode 7 placed so as to face the capturing/inactivating-unit high-voltage electrode 5.
