Patent number: 9919587Abstract: A vehicle is provided including a cabin, a conduit arranged to conduct a flow of air from outside the vehicle to the cabin, and a filter unit arranged to filter at least a portion of the flow of air before it enters the cabin. Further, an ionizing unit is arranged in the conduit upstream of the filter unit as seen in the direction of the flow of air so as to charge particles present in the flow of air and transmit at least a major part of the charged particles towards the filter unit. The at least one collector electrode has a tube-like shape arranged to conduct at least a portion of the flow of air, and the at least one emitter electrode is arranged at a central axis of the tube-like shaped collector electrode, whereby a more uniform ionization field is provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: BLUEAIR ABInventor: Johan Wennerström

Patent number: 9919252Abstract: An air purifier device is provided including a fan unit including a fan arranged to produce an air flow through the air purifier device, and a filter unit including a filter arranged to filter the air flow produced by the fan. The filter unit is adapted to stand on a support surface when the air purifier device is positioned for use. The air purifier device further includes a coupling mechanism arranged to secure the fan unit on top of the filter unit. The coupling mechanism includes two release means arranged on opposite outer sides of the fan unit, and the fan unit is releasable from the filter unit by actuating the two release means. The filter unit may be removed from the fan unit by a single action (or movement) by the user, whereby filter replacement of the air purifier device is facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: BLUEAIR ABInventors: Johan Wennerström, Elin Engberg

Patent number: 9694369Abstract: An air purifier device includes a chamber defined by a side wall arranged to guide an air flow through the air purifier device. The air purifier device further includes at least one emitter electrode and at least one collector plate electrode arranged to ionize airborne particles. The at least one emitter electrode is arranged to extend from the side wall and inwards in the chamber and the at least one collector plate electrode is arranged to extend from the side wall and inwards in the chamber. The air purifier device enables the side wall to be manufactured from e.g. plastic, or other non-conductive or non-magnetic material. This in turn may enable a lower weight of the air purifier device and facilitated manufacturing, as the side walls of the chamber e.g. may be formed by plastic moulding just as many other parts of the air purifier device.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: BLUEAIR ABInventors: Elin Engberg, Johan Wennerström

Patent number: 9636617Abstract: An air purifier device is provided including a fan arranged to produce an air flow through the air purifier device, and a fan duct for guiding the air flow produced by the fan. The fan duct extends in an upright direction of the air purifier device. The air purifier device further includes an air intake arranged below a lower end of the fan duct, and an exhaust arranged at an upper end of the fan duct so as to exhaust purified air in an upward direction from the air purifier device when the air purifier device is in use. The fan duct is flared in direction from an intermediate portion of the fan duct towards both it ends, and the fan is arranged at least partly in the intermediate portion. A facilitated circulation of air through the room and through the air purifier device standing in the room is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: BLUEAIR ABInventors: Johan Wennerström, Elin Engberg

Patent number: 6364935Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cleaning of a gaseous fluid from particles being present in the fluid, the gaseous fluid being ionized, i.e. the particles are subjected to a charging, and that the ionized gaseous fluid is brought to pass through a precipitator unit (2) including a filter medium. The invention also relates to a device for cleaning of a gaseous fluid. Filters for cleaning of air often require expensive filter medium and complicated arrangements as regards ionization of the air and charging of the filter medium. The present invention is characterized by an extremely simple method where the air is ionized and then the ionized air is brought to pass through a filter medium of polypropylene.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1999Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Bleuair ABInventor: Johan Wennerström
