Abstract:
1. A metallic photocatalytic oxidation reflector comprising: two elongated U support structures having two first arm portions each having a first and second end, two second arm portions each having a first and second end, two U shaped connector bridges, an elongated substrate layer having a first surface and a second surface, a metal oxide coated substrate layer, and a base; wherein a first end of one of the first arm portions is connected to one end of one of the U shaped bridges and the first end of one of the second arm portions is connected to the other end of the same U shaped bridge; wherein the second U shaped bridge connects the first ends of the other first arm portions and second arm portions in a corresponding manner and the second ends of both the first arm portions and the second arm portions are connected to the base such that both elongated U structures are in a fixed position parallel to one another forming two elongated U structures facing one another in a mirror image position; wherein a support structure flange is disposed on each of the first arm portions and the second arm portions; extending outwardly towards an exterior of the support structures such that a first flat surface of the support structure flange extending from the first arm portion opposes and is parallel to a first flat surface extending outwardly from the second arm portion that is connected to the same U shaped bridge; wherein a second pair of support structure flanges are arranged correspondingly on the second pair of the first arm portions and the second arm portions the support structure flange extending from the second end of the first and second arm portions to near the first end of the first and second arm portions; wherein the elongated substrate layer is V shaped in cross section along its length having a substrate layer flange running along the length of the longitudinal edges of the substrate layer, the first surface forming an interior portion of the V shaped substrate layer and substrate layer flange and the second surface forming an exterior portion of the V shaped substrate layer and substrate layer flange; wherein the elongated substrate layer is dimensioned such that the first surface of the substrate layer flange aligns and attaches to the first side of the support structure flange disposed on the first and the second arm portions of the support structure; wherein a first substrate layer is attached to the structure flange joining the two first arm portions; wherein an apex of the V shaped first substrate layer faces the second arm portions and the first surface of the substrate layer flange and a second substrate layer is attached to the first side of the support structure flange disposed on the second arm portions such that the apex of the V shaped substrate layer of the second substrate layer faces the apex of the V shaped substrate layer the first substrate layer; the metal oxide coated substrate layer having the same general dimensions and shape as the elongated substrate layer having a first coated substrate surface, a second coated substrate surface, and a coated substrate layer flange, the first coated substrate surface forming an interior portion of a V shaped coated substrate layer and the second coated substrate surface forming an exterior portion of the V shaped coated substrate layer, and the coated substrate flange attaches to a longitudinal edge of the coated substrate layer; wherein the coated substrate layer is sized to fit on the second surface of the elongated substrate layer and the first surface of the coated substrate layer flange is in contact with the second surface of coated substrate layer flange; and a plurality of openings formed in at least a portion of the coated substrate layer.
