Abstract

A method and apparatus for processing air is described herein. An example apparatus includes a housing (310), a high-velocity air flow guide (320), a filter assembly (330), and a fan (340). The high-velocity air flow guide (320) includes a first portion (322) and a second portion (324). The first portion (322) is configured to form a passage (360)within the housing (310), and the second portion (324) is configured to divert and accelerate air flow of the ambient air from the passage (360) to a chamber (370) of the housing (310). The filter assembly (330) includes one or more filtering elements configured to receive the ambient air from the chamber (370). The fan (340) is configured to draw the ambient air from the chamber (320) through the filter assembly (330) and to generate processed air from the ambient air.
