Abstract: An air filter, through which a flow path for an air flow passes is provided, wherein the air filter contains an ionizer in the flow path for ionizing the air flow, in particular for ionizing the particles therein, and an electrostatically charged filter element downstream of the ionizer in the flow path for filtering the air flow, such that the air flow can pass through the ionizer and the filter element, wherein the ionizer contains an electrode that can be connected to a high voltage source for the air filter to generate a corona discharge in the air flow, and a counter electrode dedicated to the at least one electrode. Essential to the invention is that the at least one counter electrode is electrically connected to an electrically conductive filter layer in the filter element.
A vehicle air conditioner that is equipped with at least one such air filter is provided.

Abstract: A grilling machine is described, which comprises a base body, a plate, arranged on the base body and defining a cooking surface whereon foods to be cooked are laid, and heating means operationally associated with the plate for heating the cooking surface. There is also a circuit, associated with the plate, for treating the fumes produced during the food cooking process. The fumes treatment circuit comprises: a hood arranged above the plate, which comprises at least one suction mouth, a filtering unit fluidically connected to the hood, and at least one recirculation outlet fluidically connected downstream of the filtering unit and located near the plate. In this manner, the cooking fumes sucked in through the suction mouth of the hood are treated by the filtering unit in order to obtain a purified flow with a given percentage of humidity. The purified flow is then recirculated towards the cooking surface through the recirculation outlet in order to exert a humidifying action on the foods.

Abstract: An example of a species collection system includes a plurality of spaced-apart electrically conductive collectors and a plurality of emitter electrodes. In some embodiments, at least one emitter electrode is disposed between adjacent ones of the collectors. In some embodiments, the at least one emitter electrode extends beyond the collectors (e.g., in at least one dimension). Collectors may be aligned to a direction of gas flow from an outlet (e.g., of a cooling tower) to facilitate collection while minimizing interference with the gas flow. Different emitter electrodes may be maintained at different voltages. In some embodiments, collectors are attached to a collector frame and emitter electrodes are attached to emitter frame(s) that are electrically insulated from the collector frame. Collectors may span a gas outlet (e.g., of a cooling tower) and emitter frame(s) may be positioned outside of the collectors (e.g., and outside of a periphery of the gas outlet).
