Abstract:
A photo catalytic filter is configured such that a plurality of plate-shaped members on which a photocatalyst is carried face each other with a gap therebetween, and the gaps form an air flow path. Each plate-shaped member has end surfaces respectively on an air entrance side and an air exit side of the gap. A UV irradiation unit faces the end surfaces on at least one of the air entrance side and the air exit side of the plate-shaped members, and is a predetermined distance away from those end surfaces. An air supply path for taking air from a lateral direction substantially parallel to the end surfaces, and supplying the air to the flow path, or an air discharge path for discharging the air exiting the flow path to a lateral direction substantially parallel to the end surfaces, is formed between the UV irradiation unit and the end surfaces of the plate-shaped members.

Claim (Index 1):
A photocatalytic air cleaning structure for use in an air cleaner comprising:\n a photocatalytic filter that includes a plurality of plate-shaped members each having a front and a back surface carrying a photocatalyst and being arranged such that the front surface of one plate-shaped member faces the back surface of another plate-shaped member adjacent thereto with a gap being interposed therebetween, the gap defining an air flow path; and a UV irradiation unit that emits ultraviolet light toward the gap, and faces one of end surfaces of each of the plate-shaped members of the photocatalytic filter with a predetermined distance array from the one of the end surfaces, the end surfaces including an end surface on an air entrance side to the gap and an end surface on an air exit side from the gap, wherein the UV irradiation unit and one of the end surfaces of the plate-shaped member are arranged so as to define therebetween: an air supply path for taking in air from a lateral direction substantially parallel to the one of the end surfaces, and supplying the air to the air flow path defined by the gap between the plate-shaped members; or an air discharge path for discharging the air exiting from the flow path to a lateral direction substantially parallel to the one of the end surfaces.
