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 μamps.
The rate of ion production is determined as shown below:
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/Sec
1 Coulomb = 6.28 X 1018 Electrons/Sec
1 μamp
= 6.28 X 1018 Electrons ÷ 106 uamp/amp = 6.28 X 1012
Electrons/Sec
1.8 μamp
= 11.3 X 1012 Electrons/Sec
Thus, 1.8 μamp
of current generates 11.3 Trillion Electrons or Ions per Second.
Note: The actual output of the Ionizer will vary somewhat with
barometric pressure, humidity and other environmental factors. However,
the output should not vary more than 15% from the value above.
