A theoretical investigation into the performance of a novel mop-fan air cleaning system for buildings has been made for that study. That system is able to perform self-cleaning while circulating indoor air throughout the building space. The fluid dynamic characteristics of the mop impellers have been simulated and the UV light-photon characteristics of the mop cleaning system too. A room self-cleaning process has been analysed that takes into account the effect of pollutant-generating rate and air flow rate on mop reaction efficiency and self-cleaning time.
