Claims18
A portable carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption device comprising:
- a housing defining an inlet and an outlet;
- a blower in fluid communication with the inlet, wherein the blower is disposed within the housing and draws air into the housing through the inlet;
- a manifold system in fluid communication with the blower, the manifold system comprising a manifold housing defining an expansion chamber;
- the expansion chamber disposed within the housing, wherein the expansion chamber filters and reduces a velocity of air received from the blower by expanding a control volume traversing the portable carbon dioxide absorption device;
- a carbon-dioxide absorbing apparatus disposed within the housing, the carbon-dioxide absorbing apparatus in fluid communication with the expansion chamber and the outlet, wherein the carbon-dioxide absorbing apparatus absorbs carbon-dioxide from the air exiting the expansion chamber of the manifold housing;
- and
- a power supply disposed within the housing and in electrical communication with the blower.
