Claim 28:
29. An air handling device comprising an air inflow, an air agitator, an energy-based air decontamination means, an air moderator and a laminar air outflow;
said air inflow directing air into an inlet of said handling device, said air arising from a room or from a supply duct, said air inflow being directed to said air agitator;
said air agitator comprising means to create a non-linear airflow, said means comprising at least one of air channels, baffles, blockers, perforations, cylinders, spheres, ducts, registers, louvers, valves, wings, flaps, turns, reflectors, chambers, grids, grates, wires or foils, or similar processes to introduce turbulence into an air stream;
said energy based decontamination means comprising application of electromagnetic energy to an airflow, during or after said airflow is influenced by said air agitator, said electromagnetic energy comprising non-ionizing radiation, ionizing radiation, ultraviolet, infrared, electrons, electrostatics, plasma, light, laser, LED, lamp, excited gas, and similar phenomena which function to effect biological and non-biological contamination within said air stream;
said air moderator comprising means to create a linear airflow, during or after said airflow is influenced by said energy-based decontamination means before exiting an outlet of said energy-based decontamination means, said moderator means comprising at least one of air channels, baffles, perforations, cylinders, ducts, louvers, valves, grilles, wings, flaps, grids, grates, wires or foils, or similar processes to reduce turbulence in said air stream;
said air agitator and said air moderator being located in a common airflow duct or enclosure and in non-contiguous series with each other, with an intervening said energy-based decontamination means;
said laminar air outflow comprising a linear airflow pattern, arising from said air moderator and exited from said air handling device;
wherein said air moderator comprises a linear or laminar air stream generator for receiving said turbulent air stream and for generating said linear or laminar air stream in response thereto;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator generates said linear or laminar air stream during or after said energy based decontamination means applies electromagnetic energy to said turbulent air stream;
wherein said linear or laminar air stream generator comprises at least one of air channels, baffles, walls, perforations, cylinders, ducts, louvers, valves grilles, wings, flaps grids, grates, wires or foils, to reduce turbulence in said decontaminated air stream;
wherein said energy based decontamination means is situated between said air agitator and said air moderator;
wherein said air moderator is situated inside said housing or duct and between said inlet and said outlet and is exposed to said electromagnetic energy from said energy based decontamination means.
