Abstract

See full text

A combined ionic air filter and humidifier apparatus filters air using ionic air filtering, humidifies at least a portion of the filtered ionized air, and directs the humidified filtered ionized air back into the environment. The apparatus generally includes an ionic air filter for ionizing and filtering air to produce filtered ionized air and a humidifier for humidifying the filtered ionized air to produce humidified filtered ionized air. A humidifier manifold fluidly couples the humidifier with the ionic air filter in a manner that does not allow the humidifier to interfere with operation of the ionic air filter. One or more fans draw the air into the ionic air filter and direct at least a portion of the filtered ionized air into the humidifier manifold such that the humidified filtered ionized air is discharged from the humidifier manifold.
