Abstract

An air purifying apparatus that has an ozone generator which generates plasma field in the ultraviolet region. It utilizes a pair of electrodes in the form of plates that are separated by an insulator. The plates are connected to a high-voltage transformer through diodes in such a way that only a negative and less positive charges appear on the plates. The generator is provided with a self-cleaning apparatus in which the circulating air fan that is provided for normally forcing air through the electrostatic plates may be turned off for a period of time and the ozone generated by the plates at that point in time will tend to combine with the contaminates and oxidize the same.
