Abstract:

A system for air purification using cyclone separators mounted with wall structures is disclosed. Air entering a building is filtered by passage through a coupled array of cyclone separators mounted within concrete blocks. Each cyclone separator is composed of two components, a cyclone chamber and a coupler. The coupler contains the air inlet, air outlet, as well as baffles to induce cyclonic flow within the chambers. The cyclone chambers can be fashioned as cavities within solid concrete blocks or added as separate components to the couplers. Both the couplers and chambers can be employed within hollow construction blocks, and the couplers can be further incorporated within gaskets that fit between rows of construction blocks.
