Patent ID: 8012412

Claim:
A purifying cell adapted to be received by a purifying device, said purifying cell comprising: a cell frame having a plurality of separate frame structures connected together and a cell air inlet, the cell air inlet allowing air to enter said cell frame; a single ultraviolet bulb radiating ultraviolet light, and at least three matrices, said connected plurality of frame structures of separate said cell frame holding said matrices about said ultraviolet bulb such that said matrices substantially encompass said ultraviolet bulb, each of said matrices having a photocatalytic surface exposed to the ultraviolet light such that a photocatalytic reaction occurs at the photocatalytic surface of each of said matrices, said cell frame positioning said matrices with respect to said ultraviolet bulb such that the potential photocatalytic reaction at the photocatalytic surface of each of said matrices is fully realized, air entering said cell frame by way of the cell air inlet being subjected to the photocatalytic reaction, air within said cell frame exiting said cell frame by way of said matrices.
