Vertical ventilation diffuser system to reduce transmission of airborne particles

Abstract

A novel and versatile vertical ventilation diffuser system to reduce transmission of airborne particles provides an harmful airborne particle nearly free indoor environment for one or multiple person to breathe, and to isolate and protect the personal space of a person by means of reducing the horizontal flow of air inside an enclosed space and transporting any possible harmful airborne particles, such as viruses, by means of a top down air flow. Thereby, a continuously clean environment is maintained by generating an air curtain around each person by means of a vertical ventilation diffuser system, which may be custom designed and sized for multiple types of suspended ceilings, or in standard sizes, with particular application in office, school, restaurant or concert hall settings. The versatile vertical ventilation diffuser system may further be implemented in a matrix configuration to promote the use of multiple users in a single indoor space.
