PORTABLE WET SCRUBBER

摘要

The present invention relates to a portable web scrubber unit for a dirty gas stream having particulate matter. The dirty gas stream is drawn into the wet scrubber and is forced down through an inner channel deep into a water reservoir. The water acts as a separator, and a majority of the particulates fall to the bottom of the unit immediately. Those particles that manage to escape the first stage of cleansing, are forced through thick curtains of water, and are deflected by a series of baffles through a series of channels into the water turbulence, separating the remaining particulates from the gas stream. The moist clean gas stream is drawn up through the unit by an internally fitted blower, passes through a stainless steel mist eliminator, where the moisture is removed from the clean air and is discharged from the scrubber. The particulates which have settled to the bottom of the water reservoir are removed through a drain valve.

主权项

1. A portable wet scrubber comprising:
a main housing having a closed first end wall and an open second end wall; a detachable top mounted motor housing including a fan blower adapted to draw gas from the main housing and to discharge the gas from the motor housing; said main housing having upper, middle and lower sections therein; said upper section comprising a filtering element; said middle section comprising a fluid reservoir and a scrubbing module disposed therein; said scrubbing module cooperating with said upper and lower sections; a contaminated gas inlet port arranged in the side wall of the main housing cooperating with an inlet duct of the scrubbing module; said lower section comprising the lower portion of the fluid reservoir and means for removal of particulates extracted from the contaminated gas; said scrubbing module comprising a plurality of baffles disposed longitudinally between a pair of end walls of the scrubbing module and arranged to define a plurality of associated channels therethrough; said channels comprising a first inner channel cooperating with the inlet duct, a pair of second inner channels adjacent the end section of the first inner channel and a pair of third channels, wherein said second channels converge into an associated chamber in communication with the first and third channels and wherein said third channels are disposed adjacent the first channel in cooperation with the second channels.
