Abstract:
An air cleaner assembly for removing particulate material that is entrained in an air stream passing therethrough, comprising:a housing having an air stream inlet, an air stream outlet, and defining a flow passage extending therebetween along a longitudinal axis;an electrostatic precipitator cell for removing particulate material from the air stream, said electrostatic precipitator cell including a plurality of collector plates disposed within the flow passage for collecting thereon particulate material from the air stream, said collector plates arrayed substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis;at least one germicidal lamp operative to emit germicidal light, said at least one germicidal lamp disposed within said housing for irradiating said collector plates with germicidal light; andat least one light reflecting element for redirecting germicidal light having passed through said array of collector plates in a generally downstream direction to irradiate back upon said collector plates.
