Publication number: 20240410653Abstract: The present invention relates to a white smoke removal apparatus having enhanced condensation efficiency and white smoke reduction rate, and a white smoke removal method using the apparatus. More specifically, while heat-exchanged exhaust air passes through a condensation filter, outside air is introduced directly to demisters to form solid contact surfaces on which the heat-exchanged exhaust air collides with the outside air, and thus a larger amount of condensate water can be formed compared to when condensate water is formed by collision in the air. Also, the outside air is introduced directly to the demisters when introduced to the condensation filter, and thus the condensation filter can be made compact. Furthermore, an eliminator is provided in the condensation filter to remove moisture one more time before the air moves to a mixer, and thus white smoke reduction can be maximized.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2021Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventor: Sung Wook SON
