Abstract: This invention relates to water removal or separator which can remove droplets of water suspended in the air as mist, and can separate the mist from the air to change and to transform "wet-air" into "dry-air." More particularly this invention relates to such devices which have a housing with baffles. The "wet-air" enters the housing from an inlet or orifice and strikes the baffles, and through the action of evaporation and surface friction the air sheds the water droplets onto the baffles. The water thus condensed on the baffles then drops and collects in the floor of the housing wherefrom it may be drained to the atmosphere through a small opening or an exhaust nozzle.
Abstract: Apparatus operating at low pressure drop and low initial velocity for removing pollutants down to sub-micron sizes from gas streams comprising a nozzle means accelerating the gas flow to about four times its entering velocity into a large expansion chamber having an impinger area for removal of pollutants. This is a method of removing pollutants down to sub-micron size at high efficiency by passing the polluted gas through a nozzle having specific geometry into an expansion chamber and impinging the pollutants upon an impinging area and removing them from the system.
Abstract: A vapor-liquid separator is provided which is adapted to be connected directly to the exit of a fixed reactor bed, and includes a vertically disposed housing, an upper portion of which is connected to vapor-liquid inlet means which may be provided by the fixed bed reactor so that a vapor-liquid mixture may be introduced downwardly into the housing.
Abstract: A portable filter bag house assembly includes a collapsible main frame, a plenum chamber attached to the main frame, and a sub-frame carried by the main frame for shaking movement, the sub-frame supporting filter bags to extend toward the plenum chamber for communication therewith.
Abstract: Apparatus to collect and separate dye from a dye mist so that the dye may be recirculated to the dye system and the air system will become uncontaminated with dye particles.
