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
