  • Patent number: 11084740
    Abstract: A CDI-type water treatment device according to the present invention comprises: a filter unit for purifying raw water in a CDI type through an electrode part formed by alternately stacking electrodes and separators; and a sterilization unit provided on the front of the filter unit to supply the electrode part with a sterilization substance, which has been generated from the raw water in order to sterilize the electrode part. The sterilization unit, in this case, preferably operates after a predetermined time has passed since the electrode part has both stopped purifying raw water and stopped regenerating the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8500882
    Abstract: There is provided an air purifier having a dehumidification function, including: a body case having an inner space; a blower part installed in the inner space of the body case and drawing outside air from both sides of the body case through a single blower fan; an air purifying part purifying air drawn from one side of the body case; and a dehumidifying part removing moisture from air drawn from the other side of the body case by a dehumidifying rotor. Through the blower part drawing the air from both sides of the body case, the air purifier purifies the air drawn from one side of the body case and dehumidifies the air drawn from the other side of the body case. Accordingly, a drop in an airflow amount caused by concurrently performing the dehumidification and the purification may be alleviated, so improved dehumidification and purification effects are achieved.
