The Ion Wind Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is a plasma-based technology designed for air purification and decontamination. It utilizes a surface DBD to generate ions in room air, which are directed by an additional unipolar electric field towards an extraction electrode. This process creates an ‘ion wind’ that effectively removes particles, aerosols, and microorganisms from the air stream, similar to an electrostatic filter. Additionally, reactive chemical species produced by the surface DBD enhance plasma chemical effectiveness, contributing to decontamination, disinfection, and odor reduction in high volumetric airflow environments.
