Air cleaner design using multiplier voltage application

The increasing rate of environmental pollution from all sectors has significantly impacted decreasing air quality. To solve this problem is necessary to reduce the levels of pollutants in the air. One of the media that can be used is high-voltage electric field technology. This voltage was applied to the electrodes, where the ionization process reduces pollutants in the air. In this study, a portable high-voltage generator was designed, efficient in size, weight, and operation, and inexpensive to manufacture. This high voltage comes from the TV flyback. The test results show that the device can produce a voltage of 14.28kV with a duty cycle of 30% to 61.4kV using a duty cycle of 70%. The high voltage produced can reduce cigarette smoke’s carbon monoxide (CO) content. The test results show that the more significant the voltage, the greater the reduction in pollutant levels in the air. The most significant percentage decrease in CO content was obtained at a duty cycle of 70% with an efficiency of 76.3%. The minor percentage decrease was obtained at a duty cycle of 30% with an efficiency of 15.19%.
