Impingement Baffle Patents (Class 55/462)
  • Patent number: 4036615
    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.

  • Patent number: 4036609
    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.
