2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional technique for obtaining a comfortable living space,
A home air purifier that purifies air by dust removal (removal of particulate matter) and deodorization will be described as an example. The purifier comprises a device that positively charges fine particles by corona discharge under a strong electric field, collects the charged fine particles by using a negatively charged filter, and deodorizes the fine particles by a deodorizing filter using activated carbon. It had been. In the purifier, the apparatus having the above-described configuration is usually installed on the floor of a living space of a person, and the surrounding air is forcibly ventilated into the purifier by the operation of a fan driven by the built-in electric power. Cleaning was going on. Such a configuration and operation have the following problems. That is, ozone is generated by corona discharge, and even a very small amount of this ozone is harmful to the human body. In charging by discharging, as the particle diameter becomes smaller, the charging efficiency becomes lower. For example, the collection performance of particles of 0.1 μm or less to which viruses are attached and particulate matter of 0.1 μm or less in tobacco smoke is extremely low,
Collection and removal were almost difficult.

[0003] In the discharge, fine particles are generated.
The load on the rear filter increases, and a collecting material having a large collecting capacity is required. Since the deodorizing filter deteriorates quickly due to the above-mentioned generated ozone (the ozone reacts with the deodorizing filter), it has many disadvantages such as rapid deterioration of performance. Also,
Since the purifier is installed on the floor and operated by electric power, the space for human activities is limited (reduced), and a large amount of electric power needs to be supplied. On the other hand, the present inventors have proposed a method of charging and collecting fine particles by using photoelectrons generated by irradiating a photoelectron emitting material with ultraviolet rays (eg, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-5859 and Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-5859). -34941, Tokuhei 6

[0015] In addition to the removal of fine particles, the ion-exchange fibers are used in alkaline gas such as ammonia and amine, which are usually generated in dwellings, active gases such as aldehydes, and extremely low concentrations such as propionic acid, valeric acid and butyric acid ( ppb or less) is effective for collecting and removing body odor that emits an offensive odor. For collection, these collection methods can be used alone or in combination of two or more of these methods. In the simultaneous removal with gaseous contaminants, which is one of the features of the present invention, if ion exchange fibers are used, the removal of gaseous contaminants is carried out by ion exchange fibers (the fibers are made of a polar substance such as ammonia). Is effective, but it is difficult to capture VOCs) and it is carried out by photocatalytic decomposition / removal (effective for VOC removal) (a wide range of gaseous pollutants is removed by two methods with different principles) Is preferred in some applications because gaseous pollutants are removed over a wide range.

As described above, in the air purifying of a living space according to the present invention, a double window structure in which at least a part is made of a glass material in the direction of sunlight is installed, and a photoelectron is placed on the window material. By coating the release material and / or the photocatalyst, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Since the photoelectron emitting material and / or the photocatalyst is irradiated with sunlight, photoelectrons are emitted from the photoelectron emitting material, so that particulate matter can be charged and collected. In addition, since the photocatalyst was activated and exhibited a photocatalytic action, gaseous pollutants were decomposed and removed. (2) According to the above, it was possible to create a clean space in which effective gas and particles were simultaneously controlled in some applications.

(3) From the above, an air purifying system with excellent aesthetic appearance was obtained. (4) Since the window material is covered (added) with a photoelectron emission material and / or a photocatalyst, a living space by sunlight (eg, a building, a car).
Was prevented from heating. That is, the load of air conditioning in the living space was greatly reduced, and the living space became effective in terms of energy saving. (5) Comfortable air can be obtained by using sunlight (because a special air purifier is not required), and the activity space (space) for humans has been widened. In addition, since the power cost is only required for forming the electric field, the cost is lower than that of an air purifier in which contaminated air is forcibly ventilated by a conventional fan. In addition, because it is ozone-free and has no particulate generation, it has become a practically effective technology for creating a comfortable living space.
