Abstract:
An air treatment system for conditioning cabin air of a vehicle or enclosure is disclosed. The system comprises an air duct for directing air having a first flow direction to the cabin; a circulating air treatment substance; a membrane positioned in the air duct for treating the air with the circulating air treatment substance prior to the air entering the cabin. The membrane is positioned substantially transverse to the first flow direction. A supply for supplying an air treatment substance to the membrane and circulating the air treatment substance in the membrane for use in treating the air, is also provided. A screen (10) is also disclosed for use in treating air, having a flow path, with an air treatment substance, prior to expulsion of the air from an air duct into a cabin. The screen (10) comprises a membrane (11) including a plurality of hollow fiber membrane elements (12). The membrane (11) is adapted for placement in the duct transverse to the flow path of the air. The screen further comprises channels for circulating the air treatment substance through the membrane for treatment of the air.
