Abstract

Air purification apparatus and method wherein air is subjected to a complex electrical field (30, 32) resulting from a source (40) of DC voltage and AC frequency in kilovolt and kilohertz range, respectively, applied to a screen assembly (29) in an air plenum (10). DC
amplitude and AC frequency self regulate to selected parameters. Parameters are selectable independently of one another.
