Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for air purification and disinfection using plasma, comprising: (a) a reactor assembly comprising a plurality of elongated reactors for generating plasma, each said reactor being held in parallel to each other in terms of electrical current and air flow and comprising an elongated inner electrode and an elongated outer electrode, said outer electrode encompassing at least a portion of said inner electrode along a longitudinal axis of said reactor, said outer and inner electrodes positioned in a substantially concentric relationship and defining a reaction chamber therebetween; (b) a single mounting member holding together all said reactors in said reactor assembly at an end; (c) a single power supply adapted to controlling and supplying electrical power to all said inner and outer electrodes in said reactor assembly to generate plasma within the reaction chamber to purify and disinfect air flowing therethrough; (d) a housing accommodating said reactor assembly is disposed and allowing the air to be treated entering said reaction chambers separately and simultaneously; and (e) a blower connected to said housing and having a capability of moving an air flow through each of said reaction chambers simultaneously; wherein said outer electrode comprises an insulator layer and an electrode conductor covered at the outer surface of said insulator layer; and said inner electrode comprises an insulator layer and an electrode conductor covered at the inner surface of said insulator layer and, with each of said reactors, said elongated inner electrode and said elongated outer electrode are integrated with a jointer which is an extension from both an inner insulator that holds in place of said inner electrode and an outer insulator that holds in place of said outer electrode.
