  • Patent number: 8460417
    Abstract: A portable air filtration system used in industrial environments to filter and re-circulate fumes from a fume source includes a housing that filters the fumes from the fume source. The housing defines at least one housing inlet to receive the fumes and a housing outlet to dispense the fumes. A receiving assembly is releaseably engageable with the at least one housing inlet and includes a receiver inlet and a receiver outlet. The receiver outlet is in fluid communication with the at least one housing inlet. The receiver inlet receives the fumes from the fume source and transfers the fumes to the housing inlet. The system is capable of being modified between a plurality of configurations.

  • Publication number: 20130031881
    Abstract: A power tool dust collecting device includes a fan chamber and a dust collecting chamber. The fan chamber is formed in a housing which is mountable on a hammer drill and in which a suction opening is provided protrudingly. The fan chamber houses a fan that rotates in accordance with driving of a motor. The dust collecting chamber is formed on an upstream side of the fan chamber. Mounted on the dust collecting chamber is a filter through which passes air that has been sucked up from the suction opening by the rotation of the fan and which collects dust included in the air. An air pumping unit that pumps air from a downstream side of the filter toward an upstream side is provided inside the housing.

  • Patent number: 8357232
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for the separation of gaseous components from gaseous mixtures in order to control emissions and treatment of the gaseous components. In one embodiment, the system makes use of a fan or gas moving device to first impose centrifugal forces on gas streams as the gas moves from the center of the fan toward the periphery of the fan housing. Heavier gases are forced to the outer regions of the fan housing while lighter gases remain closer to the fan axis. The heavier gases and lighter gases exiting the fan housing flow into a duct at different flow rates, and the heavier gases are diverted from the larger volume gas streams and then processed.

  • Patent number: 6966934
    Abstract: A gas reclaiming equipment capable of separating SF6 gas from a mixed gas efficiently and shortening reclaiming work under reduced pressure. A gas separation equipment is provided between a gas insulated equipment and a gas liquefaction system. The gas separation equipment separates nitrogen gas from the mixed gas, and concentrates SF6 gas. Only SF6 gas is sent into the gas liquefaction system. The gas separation equipment uses pressure swing adsorption using an adsorbent with selective adsorption. Moreover, a buffer tank for storing mixed gas is provided between the gas separation equipment and the gas insulated equipment. The buffer tank and the gas liquefaction system are connected by a reflux-line. The reflux-line refluxes the gas in a gas phase in the gas liquefaction system to the buffer tank. Furthermore, the gas separation equipment is connected to a storage tank. The storage tank accumulates the nitrogen gas separated with the gas separation equipment.

  • Patent number: 6666910
    Abstract: An air filtration system for filtering air drawn into a substantially enclosed environment, such as a room, having an access opening includes a box having sidewalls, a flexible sheet of substantially air-impermeable material sized to cover the access opening of the environment, at least one filter having a body and a rigid rim encircling the body, and a pump having an inlet conduit through which air is drawn into the pump during pump operation. The components can be assembled to form a filter-supporting unit and, with the aid of the flexible sheet, sealed across the access opening to convert the environment into a shelter into which filtered air is pumped.

  • Patent number: 6328775
    Abstract: The invention provides a compact, portable system for protection against the penetration of contaminated air into a protected space. The system includes a gas filter and an air-intake unit. There is also a blower for sucking air through the filter into the protected space. An air exhaust unit is provided with an over-pressure valve. For actuating the blower, a member is provided. With the system as described, at least the filter, the blower and the means for actuating the blower can be removed, stored and reassembled by the user.

  • Patent number: 4571250
    Abstract: This ash receiving device is designed to prevent ash dust from entering a room when ashes from a fireplace or wood stove are dumped into the device. Primarily, the device consists of a container with a removable ash receiving receptacle on its interior. It also includes a foot pedal operated vacuum producing mechanism in its base, which by an attached hose, will cause outside air to be drawn through openings through an internal chute in which the ashes are dumped to fall in the receptacle. This incoming air being drawn in by suction, pulls the ash dust produced when dumping, into a removable filter included in the chute.

  • Patent number: 4371322
    Abstract: A two stage air filter adapted for use on an air pump as used in a motor vehicle for emission requirements, has a cylindrical, coarse filter element mounted along one end to a broadside of a thin, rigid baffle plate and a cylindrical, fine filter element mounted along one end to the other broadside of the baffle plate. The baffle plate cooperates with the end bell of the air pump to snappingly retain the filter in the pump and to compressingly hold the fine filter element inside the end bell.
