Abstract: The present invention relates to an air purification device. The housing includes a main passage section through which air is introduced from a room through a main inlet port and is discharged to an outside through a main outlet port, and a bypass passage section partitioned from the main passage section, through which air is introduced from the room through a bypass inlet port and is discharged to an outside through a bypass outlet port. The main inlet port damper opens and closes the main inlet port. The main outlet port damper opens and closes the main outlet port. The bypass damper opens and closes the bypass passage section. The controller is configured to control the bypass damper so as to open the bypass passage section when the main passage section is closed due to a malfunction of the main inlet port damper or the main outlet port damper.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present application, there may be provided an air purification apparatus for purifying polluted air and discharging the purified air, which comprises a main pipe including a first flow path, a second flow path, a first filter, a first main area, and a second main area. The air purification apparatus can operate in a filtering mode in which at least some contaminants contained in the air flowing into the main pipe are collected by the first filter, or a cleaning mode in which at least some of the contaminants collected by the first filter in the filtering mode are removed, wherein an operation section in the cleaning mode of the air purification apparatus includes a firs section and a second section, the first section and the second section are divided on the basis of a first division time point, and the rate of change of temperature in the first main area is varied before and after the first division time point.
