A heat exchanger coil has its fins coated with a photocatalytic semi-conductor material in such a manner that its fins may then be illuminated by UV light to activate the material so as to cause the oxidation of organic pollutants which are on the fin coils themselves or in the air passing therethrough. A preferred photocatalytic semi-conductor material is titanium dioxide, which may be applied to the fin stock prior to the fabrication of the coil.

Photocatalytic oxidation enhanced evaporator coil surface for fly-by control

A space heating appliance employing a radiant burner that burns a gaseous fuel and a plurality of heat pipes to transfer heat produced by the burner to the air to be heated. The appliance is adaptable for use in outdoor 'packaged' units, together with an air conditioning system, for heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial buildings, and is also adaptable for use in indoor residential or commercial applications.
