To determine the number of Ions emitted from the
SpringCo air cleaner, I have prepared the following information in order
to determine the output. The way to ascertain the output is by calculation
based upon electronic definitions and formulas. The following definitions
are used to form the basis for the calculation.
ION
An electrically charged atom or group of atoms,
the electrical charge of which results when a neutral atom or group of
atoms loses or gains one or more electrons during chemical reactions or,
by the action of certain forms of radiant energy: the loss of electrons
results in a positively charged ion, the gain of electrons in a
negatively charged ion
COULOMB
The meter-kilogram-second unit of electric charge
equal in magnitude to the charge of 6.28 x 1018 electrons;
charge transported through a conductor by a current of one ampere
flowing for one second
AMPERE
The standard unit for measuring the strength of an
electric current; rate of flow of charge in a conductor or conducting
medium of one coulomb per second
One millionth part of; the factor 10-6
MOLECULE
The smallest particle of an element or compound
that can exist in the free state and still retain the characteristics of
the element or compound: the molecules of elements consist of one atom
or two or more similar atoms; compounds consist of two or more different
atoms
Calculation Of Ion Output
Rate Of Ion Output
The air cleaner adds an electron to a molecule
creating an Ion. The SpringCo air cleaner uses a
high voltage power supply that produces
approximately1.8
