  • Patent number: 5147429
    Abstract: The airborne air cleaning station features a dirigible supporting a gigantic collector hood exteriorly mounted thereto, and an enlarged housing having a plurality of different types of air cleaning devices contained therein. The collector hood funnels polluted ambient air into an air intake system that places the on-board air cleaning devices in fluid communication with the collector hood. Sensors within the air cleaning station analyze an incoming air flow to determine the pollutants which need to be removed from the local atmosphere. Then, an automatic control system actuates automated valves of an on-board piping system to route incoming air to those air cleaning devices which are best equipped to remove whatever particular pollutants have been detected by the sensors. The inclusion of a plurality of different air cleaning devices, such as wet scrubbers, filtration machines, cyclonic spray scrubbers, etc. advantageously equips the airborne air cleaning station to deal with a wide variety of pollutants.
