OR'IONS : The ionizers of the XXIe CENTURY ________
PRESENTATION
Air pollution in all premises is a true curse, with serious outcomes for population, especially for fragile people (children, sick and elderly persons, etc) . It's important to remember that pollution measured in enclosed rooms is 100 to 200 times as much pollution measured outside, even in urban zone.
Intended to fight this internal micropollution and to bring comfort and well‑being to persons, OR'IONS devices are the result of advanced studies and scientific researches in electricity, electronics and biophysics . The works of Professor BRETON (University of Bordeaux Science) Doctor ès‑Sciences (Physics), have successfully completed to an exclusive device of high density aeroionization :
THE ELECTRON OPTICS WITH PLASMA SUPERCONFINMENT Without ozone sending out
This device, protected by international patents, has now the best performance on a world‑wide scale ; it ensures elimination of air pollution (micro‑dust, bacteria, virus, allergens, smokes, odors ... ) inside the rooms (apartments, offices, plants, hospital, stores, entertainment and meeting rooms, etc. ... ), and all vehicles (cars, trucks, public transports, etc. ... ) OR'IONS with this device ensures integral and permanent cleaning of the affected air volume, thanks to an isotropic intensive negative ions flow, without any nuisance .
PRINCIPLE OF ELECTRON OPTICS
It allows to preserve, inside an enclosure or room, an ionic density (i.e. negative oxygen ions O2- in air) strictly determined and as high as necessary, in the complete absence of production of aggressive or toxic peroxidizing agents (Ozone O3or Nitrogen oxides NOx).
The very strong electric field ("cold discharge" behaviour) applied to the end of a point can totally ionize the gas (air) around, and thus creating a very energetic plasma where the ozone is produced . The large reduction of this critical zone ("superconfinment"), which makes negligible ozone production, constitutes with power and emission isotropy an essential character of the electron optics used .
COMPOSITION OF THE ELECTRON OPTICS
A plate supporting needles An intermediate "field plate" A whole of special needles and "optical" devices associated .
THE NEEDLES
A whole of special long, stainless needles, with a very sharp point and strong sending out . Every needle is inserted in an insulating dielectric and high resistivity sheath, which allows to the field plate to be very near of the needes without risk of accidental energizing . Jointed to dielectrical properties of the sheath, this disposition ensures in the same time the plasma superconfinment . More over, the emitting part of the needle is inserted in a widen structure, extending the sheath, ensuring electron emission without loss by capture . All these specificities allow a plasma superconfinment and a nearly nil ozone production .
Finally, all these dispositions allow the electron optics to work with a comparatively low voltage, of the order of 4500 Volt (lower than the critical value) instead of the usual 6000 to 12000 Volt, with an excellent efficiency and an homogenous sending out of negative ions toward atmosphere .
THE NEEDLES SHEATH
For this purpose, this new device includes a sheath for every emitting needle, made of a high resistivity, small losses and high relative permittivity dielectric, associated to a reorganization of the electron optics elements.
Thus this sheath ensures multiple advantage -tobe able to reduce strongly the diameter of the field plates openings -to ensure the possible maximum "back down " of the zero equipotential (field in the dielectric) ‑ to obtain the possible maximum value of the electric field at the extreme end of the emitting needles ‑ to obtain the possible maximum value of initial electron emission ‑ to avoid a using of very high voltages that produce toxic gases ‑ to reduce to the possible minimum value the plasma zone ‑thus, to reduce still the peroxidizing production ‑ to suppress completely the resulting energizing with the field plate ‑ to suppress completely the losses by the needles lateral corona effect -thus to enhance the efficiency of the device -to place the free end of the needles next to outside plate -to reduce the diameter of the openings of the same plate -toset a larger number of needles on a same area -to reduce, if necessary, the outside size of the device without injuring to its output -toensure the electron emission without loss by capture, because of its widen structure inserting the emitting part of the needle.
As a result we have a sure amelioration of the corona effect generator, for the importance of the sent out flow, as well as its spatial distribution (nearly isotropy), the safety still enhanced of its use, the final and complete lack of all nuisances resulting of toxic peroxidizing sending out (ozone, nitrogen oxides), as the sent out flow measures made in Faraday's enclosure and analysis by chemiluminescence’s spectroscopy of the air taken near the needles show it . THE PLASMA
‑ Completely ionized zone, electrically very energetic, where ozone is produced : oxygen molecule is then dissociated in two oxygen atoms strongly reactive, which combine once more to oxygen molecules to give ozone molecules (with three atoms). This ozone production increases very quickly beyond a voltage in order of 4650 Volts. ‑ the very strong reduction of the high Voltage and the plasma zone carries the nearly vanishing of ozone and nitrogen oxides, without any reduction of the sending out of oxygen negative ions toward atmosphere
THE ELECTRONICS
Energy source - Network at 110‑220 Volt 50‑60 Hz with high insulation transformer ‑ Regulated low voltage source feeding the Very High Voltage generator (25 kHz oscillator) ‑ All used components are professional ‑ The whole product is carried out in accordance with CEE rules for electrical safety
THE CASES
According to the models :
‑ In high resistance special polystyrene, with controlled semi‑conductance, which allows to optimize ionic sending out -In processed wood to obtain a controlled semi‑conductivity which allows to optimize ionic sending out.
POWER TESTING AND REGULATION
Some devices of the range (Cf. catalog) have inside a real‑time tester, with a direct capture on the outside flow, insuring a permanent and reliable control of ionic sending out. The same one has a power regulation of the negative ions flow with three positions: minimum power or "sleepiness position", average power, maximum power. This adjustment provides a greater comfort and a larger adaptability of use (especially for inhalations) .
SAFETY
‑ User's safety is guarantied if there is an accidental contact with the emitting needles, by a high insulation against the network at 220 Volt, a regulated high voltage source with high frequency (25 kHz) under very high impedance (the user feels only a prickling sensation). ‑ The emitting part of the needle is inserted in a widen structure that provides an additional protection against any incident. ‑ Complete harmlessness: it excludes completely ozone and NO, production at the ionic emission openings . It's therefore recommended in all rooms where sensitive persons live: babies, children, sick and elderly persons, etc..), and for inhalation use .
MAINTENANCE
‑ As the whole outside area of the case have been processed, the use of all detergent or solvent is absolutely forbidden. ‑ For the cleaning, use the soft brush of a vacuum‑cleaner to remove dust from the faces with emitting needles ; for other faces, if necessary, use a smooth dustcloth without fluff .
USE
For reasons of efficiency, it's recommended if possible ‑ to place the ionizer far from walls, big metallic things, curtains and drapes -to place the ionizer between 0,20 and 1 meter above the ground ‑ to put it in a place easy to clean, because a normal deposit of particles may occur around the device .
RECOMMENDATIONS
Not any product, not any liquid, not any powder can be introduced in the openings of ionic emission . If you don't respect this rule, you lose immediately the guarantee.

OZONE AND IONIZERS
The devices for air ionization must produce no more than 0,004 ppM (= 4 ppB) of Ozone. Beyond this threshold, they are dangerous for health, (especially with a permanent use in a non‑well‑ventilated room, or during an inhalation). It's imperative that the Voltage applied on needles be inferior to 4600 Volts (Threshold of ozone production).
O3 OZONE
ORIGIN . In our biosphere, the origin of ozone results from chemical reactions between incompletely burnt hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and oxygen, by the effect of solar radiations. The formation of pollutants under the influence of sunshine is called " photochemical pollution "or " smog" . The excesses are more and more frequent.
Effects on BODY. This main product of photo‑oxidizing pollution is an aggressive gas that gets into the finest respiratory tract. It may cause ocular irritations, cough, and a pulmonary alteration, especially in children and asthmatics. Effects are enhanced by physical activity .
Pathologies . For this pollutant, the basic level is 3 mg/m3 (~ 2,5 ppB) . Variations (daily averages) of this rate cause the following increases ‑ for 20 mg/m3 ‑‑‑ > + 1 % of total non‑accidental death rate -for 81 mg/m3 ‑‑‑ > + 5% " " " -for 103 µg/m3 ‑‑‑ > + 6% " " "
