    A novel air-flow generator based on the effect of ion wind has been developed by the simultaneous generation of both positive and negative ions using two electrodes of opposite polarity placed in parallel. Unlike the conventional unipolar-generators, this bipolar configuration creates an ion wind, which moves away from both electrodes and yields a very low net charge on the device. The electro-hydrodynamic behavior of air-flow has been experimentally and numerically studied. The velocity of ion wind reaches values up to 1.25 m/s using low discharge current 5 mu-A with the kinetic conversion efficiency of 0.65% and the released net charge of ïżœ30 fA, 8 orders of magnitude smaller compared with the discharge current. Due to easy scalability and low net charge, the present configuration is beneficial to applications with space constraints and/or where neutralized discharge process is required, such as inertial fluidic units, circulatory flow heat transfer, electrospun polymer nanofiber to overcome the intrinsically instability of the process, or the formation of low charged aerosol

    We report a unique alternating current (AC) driven corona based air-flow generator using symmetrically arranged electrodes. Unlike the conventional configuration where one electrode generates charged ions moving towards the reference electrode, this configuration allows both negative and positive charges to simultaneously move away from the device and generate ion wind in parallel with the electrodes. In comparison with the direct current (DC) driven corona generator, the time oscillating AC field allows the device a better stabilization owing to the independence of ion wind strength from the inter-electrode spacing. Our results by both simulation and experiment showed that when the AC frequency exceeds a threshold value of 1100 Hz, the electric field at the electrode tips is determined dominantly by the charge cloud created in the previous half-cycle, resulting in stronger net electric field and thus stronger ion wind. In addition, the electrode separation in the AC driven corona based generator is less critical above the frequency threshold, yielding a more robust design with minimized susceptibility to manufacturing tolerances and impurities on the electrodes. Moreover, lower voltage levels of the AC driven system allow simpler and more economical design in the high voltage circuit of the AC generator

    The paper reports the development of a particle precipitation based aerosol sampler using bipolar corona discharge ion winds with collected particles of minimized net charge. For the new approach, neutralized particles move towards a sampler under the effect of electric field and dual ion winds. Since there is no electrode or sampling chip installed inside the air-flow channel, impediments to airborne particle flow or ion winds are removed along the flow direction. In addition, the isolation of ion winds, which generate circuit, allows using various materials for the sampling chip including non-conductors and also protecting collected particles from any discharge ignition on the chip. The device mechanism is numerically simulated in OpenFOAM to study the electrofluidodynamic interaction of charged particles and bipolar ion winds. The efficiency of the new approach has been investigated by experiment with a maximum efficiency of 94%. The effects of flow rate, discharge voltage and electrode distances on the method are also evaluated

Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(8): 290–294. | Abstract: Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures that requires blood transfusion, with the possible risk of significant complications. Aim: A retrospective study was performed to analyze the predictors of blood transfusion after primary total hip arthroplasty. Method: We collected the data of 210 consecutive patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Patient’s data, preoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit level, the type of the prosthesis, the use of a suction drain, tranexamic acid or anticoagulants and the type and amount of blood transfusion were recorded. Results: A total of 41% of our patients required transfusion, 8.6% receiving allogenic blood. Significant predictors of allogenic blood transfusion were preoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, the type of prosthesis, the use of suction drainage and the use of tranexamic acid. Patients with pre-donated autologous blood did not require allogenic blood transfusion. Conclusion: Based on our study, total hip arthroplasty necessitates allogenic blood transfusion in 8.6%. Major predictors associated with the need for transfusion are preoperative hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, the type of prosthesis, the use of suction drainage and the use of tranexamic acid. Pre-donated autologous blood helps to reduce allogenic transfusion rate. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(8): 290–294
