An 8 foot elevated slate-rock, moss covered work table/bed is the central figure in this 10’ x 10’ x 10’ shelter holding 1000 cubic feet of air. A Lexan case stores study materials and an innovative HVAC system, conducting particles through an evaporator coil to remove viruses, bacteria and mold, conditioning the perpetual air flow. A heavy, unifying atmosphere softens skin, sinuses, throats and lungs. The chamber walls sweat with moisture.
3 cabinet fans and 1 hood fan circulate a volume of air passed 3 UVC lights every 5 minutes for 12 air exchanges per hour, twice as effective the CDCs recommendation of air exchange for AIIRs (Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms) with their minimum of 6 air changes per hour. Returning air pushes downward past 9 Mist King nozzles, hazing across the surface of the growing slate table.
From a light-hood enclosing two Mars Hydro grow lights and a central duct delivering scrubbed air, mist precipitates across this eight foot table/bed made of a solid piece of slate mounted on a wheeled gurney. A fortunate result of this HVAC system, is that the refrigerant’s transfer process between a liquid state to a gas state, creates heat. Instead of moving the heat of the condensing refrigerant to an exterior portion of the system, as is typical in home air conditioning systems, the resulting heat produced by 2 condenser coils are next in line in this system, passing the air over the radiating surfaces to further effect viruses, bacteria and mold. Once scrubbed and dried, the exiting air passes through a HEPA filter and two layers of carbon cloth before being re-introduced into the shelter.
