Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to air-treatment equipment for removing impurities from the air, particularly substances having an odor or taste and bacterial spores. The equipment includes a heating element, maintained at a high temperature, over which the air passes or is directed and this causes air borne particles to break down into odorless substances. The equipment includes a heat exchanger arrangement which serves to reduce the temperature of the heated air returned to the room or space from which the air was withdrawn. The heating element of the heating unit is made of electrically conducting silicon carbide having a thin coating of catalyst material.
