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
