Purify the Air Supply

Has your time spent indoors increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of stay-at-home and shelter-in-place policies worldwide? Your challenge is to use the International Space Station (ISS) as inspiration and develop a system to monitor and/or purify indoor air. It is entirely up to you whether the system you design is able to be used on Earth (for example in homes, businesses, transportation, etc.) and/or in space.

Air Purifier Filter with Active Carbon

Summary

The solution to the problem is identified by means of a structurally "conventional" heater system, distinguishing itself by its activated carbon filtering screen in order to remove impurities and I managed to retain the possible particular containing viral material suspended in the air, thus propagating the infection of those who pass through the site. In the same system, there is a high temperature rise present in the air heating process, which organisms such as bacteria and viruses.

How We Addressed This Challenge

the challenge brought several questions about new idealizations with the microbiological crisis with the current world scenario

How We Developed This Project

Our differential was the development of an air sterilization accessory. The problem that we chose was the air purification. Our solution was the use of chemical compounds and the use of UV light for air sterilization, based on studies already used at ISS. We seek to make environments safer by air sterilization. We use data on UV light from the space station adapting to the air purification system ensuring efficient sterilization. Generate an efficient prototype that can assist and bring security to people in the resumption of social routine.
