Air pollution control system and method

摘要

A system for large-scale, distributed remediation of particulate air pollution using cooling towers is described herein. The system consists of a generator section which captures, redirects, and accelerates exhaust air from a cooling tower, a venturi inlet and nozzle, and at least one air scrubber stage.

主权项

1. An air pollution control apparatus that reduces building cooling tower fan energy usage, comprising:
a generator section mounted to receive the exhaust of a building cooling tower, said generator section further comprising:
a cooling tower exhaust intake for receiving at least a portion of the exhaust air from a building cooling tower, anda nozzle; a venturi intake, further comprising:
an atmospheric air intake, andan exhaust plenum; and wherein said generator section receives and accelerate said exhaust air from said building cooling tower through said nozzle into said venturi intake, thereby drawing atmospheric air into said atmospheric air intake and driving a mixture of said exhaust air and said atmospheric air though said exhaust plenum; and at least one scrubber section receiving said atmospheric air and said exhaust air from said exhaust plenum.
