Abstract: The systems and methods described herein are directed to an air purification system that can purify air that is passed through the air purification system. The air purification system can include one or more sensors that can detect various characteristics associated with the air that passes through the air purification system. Some implementations of the air purification system can include wireless communication capabilities that allow at least the sending of warnings to remote locations, such as a user's mobile device. In addition, the user can remotely monitor sensed data collected by the air purification system, such as via an app downloaded onto the user's mobile device. In addition, one or more settings of the air purification system can be directly or remotely adjusted (e.g., via the user's mobile device).

Abstract: Simultaneous application of ozone and ultraviolet light (UV185 and UV254) in water to be purified will create hydroxyl radicals, which combination will cause conversion of AS (III) that may be present to As (V), oxidation of inorganic matter such as manganese, sulfur, phosphorus and organic matter and provide virucidal and germicidal effects to purify the water.

Abstract: Each cap of a pair of end caps mounted on opposed ends of a conventional radial flow cylindrical filter element of a filter cartridge includes a circular sleeve extending axially from the filter element for penetrably receiving a supporting stud and for maintaining an O-ring seal therebetween. The area of one of the end caps radially outwardly of its circular sleeve is greater than the corresponding area of the other end cap to cause fluid to be filtered to pressure bias the filter cartridge toward the other end cap and to positionally retain the filter cartridge within its housing. A positioning member extending into the filter element from one of the end caps receives and stabilizes sleeve for a u/v lamp disposed within the filter element to kill any microorganisms present and to oxidize any organic matter subjected to the emitted ultra-violent radiation.

Abstract: A time delay in de-energizing the electronic ballast and its associated UV lamp subsequent to cessation of water discharge from a user-activated water treatment unit ensures irradiation of the water prior to a subsequent user-activated water discharge and reduces the likelihood of any live microorganisms being present in the water subsequently discharged. A soft start of the UV lamp upon actuation of the water treatment unit reduces the mechanical stresses imposed upon the filaments of the UV lamp and the life span of the UV lamp is enhanced.

Abstract: The supply of water used in dental operations and other applications in a dental office, or other medical facility, wherein non-contaminated water is necessary to avoid transmission of microorganisms, is enriched with oxygen, whether from ambient air or a source of oxygen. The oxygenated water is passed through a silver containing catalyst cartridge. The water borne oxygen is attracted to the silver and forms a weak bond sufficient to permit dissociation to oxidize organic matter, including microorganisms. A small amount of silver dissolves in the water and flows downstream through the attendant conduits to and through dental handpieces and dental implements. A portion of the silver will adhere to the walls of the conduits, handpieces and implements where it is free to react with the oxygen dissolved in the water flowing therepast. The resulting oxidizing of the organic matter will destroy any biofilm present and prevent biofilm buildup. To enhance oxidizing of the organic matter, an ozone generator may be employed to introduce ozone into the water upstream of the silver catalyst cartridge.

Abstract: An oxygen containing gas is injected at a pressure in the range of about two (2) to about five (5) atmospheres or more into an ultraviolet transmissive sleeve surrounding an ultraviolet lamp to produce a high concentration of ozone. Simultaneously, the ultraviolet lamp irradiates water to be purified disposed in a container surrounding the sleeve. The ozone enriched gas is entrained into the water flowing into the container resulting in an oxidative reaction with any organic matter present and coming into contact with the ozone. Alternatively, the ozone may be entrained in water in a second container downstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a further variant, the ozone may be entrained in water in a container upstream of the container wherein the water has been irradiated with ultraviolet radiation. In a yet further variant, the ozone may be entrained in one or more containers upstream and prior to irradiation of the water with ultraviolet radiation in the downstream most container. The ozone may be extracted from the ozonated water prior to discharge if the oxidative effect of the ozone is not desired for the intended end use. To enhance ozone production a predetermined pressure is maintained within the sleeve. To prevent damage to sleeve in the event of a drop in pressure of the water surrounding the sleeve, a further differential pressure regulator may be used to relieve the pressure within the sleeve by discharging ozonated gas from within the sleeve. By use of specifically configured end caps for the sleeve, certain existing water purification systems may be converted to embody the present invention.
