    摘要: Provided is a photocatalyst unit that (i) can improve a fluid cleaning effect of the photocatalyst by efficiently emitting UV light to a photocatalyst, (ii) can be formed thin and compact as a photocatalyst unit including a photocatalyst filter and a light emitting unit, (iii) has a high degree of freedom in designing a flow path structure, and (iv) can obtain a sufficient cleaning effect as a whole without increasing a volume of light or the number of light sources.
    [Solution means]
    A photocatalyst carrier is a blower fan like impeller or a cross flow fan like impeller, or an impeller serving as a blower fan or an impeller serving as a cross flow fan. An impeller 4 includes a pair of connecting plates 42, 43 that connect to each blade plate 41 at both ends thereof in an axial direction 40. Each blade plate 41 and the connecting plates 42, 43 are fixed in a manner that a part of each of the both ends of the blade plate penetrates and protrudes through a through groove formed in each of the connecting plates, and the protruding part is bent in a direction intersecting the axial direction and parallel to a surface of the blade plate so as to be crimped and fixed to an opening periphery of the through groove of the connecting plate.

    摘要: In a photocatalytic device, a photocatalytic filter is formed of a corrugated member and a gas is allowed to flow over front and rear surfaces of the filter from one end toward the other end thereof along a direction in which ridges and valleys extend, and a gas inflow part and a gas outflow part are provided at both end positions of a photocatalytic filter instead of providing a gas inlet-side flow channel and a gas output-side flow channel at positions facing filter surfaces. Thus, a contact area between a gas and the filter surfaces can be maintained, and miniaturization of the device such as reduction in the thickness or diameter can be realized without increasing gas circulation resistance. In addition, enhanced light irradiation efficiency, simplified structure, energy saving, and cost reduction can be realized. Moreover, the problem of heat can be solved.

    摘要: Provided is a photocatalyst unit that can improve the fluid cleaning action using a photocatalyst by efficiently applying ultraviolet light to a photocatalyst, and at the same time, that can, as a photocatalyst unit including a photocatalyst filter and a light application part, be reduced in thickness and size, and that has a high degree of freedom in design of a flow path structure.
    A photocatalyst carrier 3 is an impeller 4 including a plurality of vane plate parts 41 each of which has a surface carrying a photocatalyst, and the plurality of vane plate parts 41 rotate upon receiving a pressure from a fluid passing through a fluid passage path 10. A light application part 5 is provided so as to apply light to the rotating vane plate part 41 of the impeller 4, from a predetermined position on an outer circumferential side with respect to the vane plate parts 41 of the impeller 4.

    摘要: Provided are a photocatalytic device 1 capable of further enhancing an effect on purification of fluid such as air by a photocatalyst and also efficiently dissipating heat emitted from a light applying portion, and capable of further enhancing the purification effect by increase of a light amount, and a fluid purifying apparatus including the photocatalytic device. Both end portions 321, 325 of an upper-side inner wall 32 of a housing 3 in the lateral direction are in contact with upper faces of both end portions, in the lateral direction, of a photocatalyst filter 2 to support the photocatalyst filter 2, and form upper-side edge portions for openings 3a, 3b. A center portion 323 of the upper-side inner wall 32 in the lateral direction is distant from an upper face of a center portion, in the same direction, of the photocatalyst filter 2 over a predetermined distance H1 in an upward direction. Tilted portions 322, 324 are positioned in regions between both the end portions 321, 325 and the center portion 323 of the upper-side inner wall 32 so that a distance in the upward direction between each of the tilted portions 322, 324 and the upper face of the photocatalyst filter is gradually increased from the both end portions toward the center portion. A lower-side inner wall 33 of the housing 3 covers a lower face of the photocatalyst filter, is in contact with the lower face of the photocatalyst filter 2 to support the photocatalyst filter 2, and forms lower-side edge portions for the openings 3a, 3b. A light applying portion 4 is disposed on a lower face of the center portion 323 of the upper-side inner wall 32.
