Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing odors containing odorless microorganisms or a culture thereof. The present invention also relates to a method for preventing odors including coating the composition for preventing odors. When a biofilm is formed by coating an object offensive odor-generating microorganisms can inhabit with the composition for preventing odors of the present invention, odors can be effectively prevented by significantly preventing the inflow and inhabitation of outside microorganisms that may generate offensive odors.

         7 . An evaporator core coated with the composition for preventing odors according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . The evaporator core according to  claim 7 , wherein the microorganisms according to  claim 1  are coated on the evaporator core at a concentration of 10 4 -10 8  CFU/g. 
     
     
         9 . The evaporator core according to  claim 8 , wherein the microorganisms are coated using a microorganism culture having an optical density (O.D.) of 0.3-0.9. 
     
     
         10 . The evaporator core according to  claim 7 , wherein the microorganisms contained in the composition form a biofilm on the evaporator core. 
     
     
         11 . A method for manufacturing an odorless evaporator core which does not generates odors from an air-conditioning system, comprising coating the composition according to  claim 1  on an evaporator core. 
     
     
         12 . The method for manufacturing according to  claim 11 , wherein said coating comprises coating the microorganisms contained in the composition on the evaporator core at a concentration of 10 4 -10 8  CFU/g. 
     
     
         13 . The method for manufacturing according to  claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises forming a biofilm by proliferating the microorganisms contained in the composition. 
     
     
         14 . A method for preventing odors from an air-conditioning system, comprising coating the composition according to  claim 1  on an evaporator core.
