A61L 900
US Classification:

422122, 428447, 428650, 96154, 500300, 500324, 500355
Abstract:

This invention relates to a method, apparatus and composition for cleaning the atmosphere; and more particularly to a stationary substrate comprising at least one atmosphere contacting surface having a pollutant treating catalytic material coated thereon. Preferably, said catalytic material is capable of converting ozone to oxygen. Said coated substrate is advantageously non-flammable and flexible.

Assignee:

Engelhard Corporation - Iselin NJ
International Classification:

F24F 316
US Classification:

422180, 422173, 422177, 422198, 422211, 422222, 502439, 502324, 50252719, 50252721
Abstract:

A metal substrate is fabricated and coated with a catalyst for ozone conversion of atmosphere passing through the substrate. A plurality of aluminum foil sheets that have been slit, stretched and twisted into a plurality of regularly repeating channels having geometrically shaped openings are serially positioned one on top the other to form a foil stack with channel openings partially blocked by channel walls of overlying foil sheets. Thicker covers with openings at the top and bottom of the stack form a sandwich and the sandwich pleated to form corrugations in a flexible but rigid sandwich substrate. The channel walls are coated with an ozone depleting catalyst which the ozone atmosphere contacts to remove ozone as the ozone atmosphere travels through the stack construction.

International Classification:

G01N 3110
US Classification:

436 37, 422119, 436 56, 436 84, 436149, 436164, 436172
Abstract:

An OBD system is provided for monitoring an ozone depletion system that includes a catalyst coating containing MnO applied to a heat exchange surface on a moving vehicle over which atmospheric air passes. A physical characteristic of the catalyst coating or a material containing a physical characteristic within the catalyst coating is sensed to determine the presence or absence of the catalyst coating for detecting catastrophic failure of the ozone depleting system and/or degradation or wear of the catalyst coating to ascertain the efficiency of the catalyst coating.

Abstract:

Method for cleaning the atmosphere by adsorbing pollutants, e. g. , hydrocarbons, ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, etc. , contained in the atmosphere. The pollutant-containing atmosphere is contacted with an outer surface of a substrate, e. g. , radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, transmission coolers, etc. , which has been coated with an adsorptive material such as zeolites, molecular sieves, carbon, etc. The coated substrate is protected with an overcoat of at least one porous protective material such as alumina, silica and the like, such that the pollutants will come into contact with the adsorptive material, but harmful contaminants will be prevented from contacting the adsorptive material.
