Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to air cleaning device. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a device for controlling air quality that can be installed in an air duct configured with an air-conditioning unit.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] An air conditioning device circulates air in an installation space according to usage and purposes, such that the air conditioning device may cool or heat the installation space. For example, the installation space may be an indoor space of a house or a building. The air conditioning device can be an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, and others, for controlling the conditions such as temperature, humidity and the likes of the indoor air.
[0004] Nowadays, many centralized air conditioning systems are available in the market that can control the condition of the indoor air from one large central location, such as in shopping malls, offices, hospitals, cinema halls, and others. The air conditioning existing systems cools and dehumidifies the air first, then the cooled air is supplied to each room through the duct system, However, use of such air conditioning systems that recirculate the indoor air can be dangerous, as risk of an increase in the transmission of the infection is more as compared to those air conditioners that majorly uses outside air. Mostly air conditioning systems available in the market recirculate the already adjusted indoor air and mix it with some fresh air to become energy efficient but this means that people are inhaling a high amount of the air being exhaled by others in the same space, and a person present in another room or area can be infected with a contagious diseases (such as flu, cold, or strep throat). The infectious micro organism can travel through the air when someone sneezes or coughs, and the central air condition system facilitates in spreading the same air through duct to various rooms. There are many solutions available in the market to destroy the microbes in the air conditioning system, however they are not effective.
[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problem of prior art by bringing a solution that can be installed with the centralized air conditioning system and facilitates in destroying the infectious microbes available in the indoor air, to prevent spreading of contiguous disease.
