Abstract
An air purifier and conditioner (and concomitant method of simultaneously purifying and conditioning air) comprising a housing receiving source air and an aqueous solution, a drop charger receiving the source air and providing a spray of electrically charged drops of the aqueous solution to produce treated air, a mist eliminator eliminating liquid in the treated air and producing conditioned air, a heat exchanger receiving the conditioned air and producing supply air, and a fan moving the supply air to a facility employing the supply air.
Claims18
An air purifier and conditioner comprising:
- a housing receiving source air and an aqueous solution;
- a drop charger receiving the source air and providing a spray of electrically charged drops of the aqueous solution to produce treated air;
- a mist eliminator eliminating liquid in the treated air and producing conditioned air;
- a liquid purifier providing the aqueous solution;
- a heat exchanger receiving the conditioned air and producing supply air;
- and
- a fan moving the supply air to a facility employing the supply air.
A method of simultaneously purifying and conditioning air, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving source air and an aqueous solution in a housing;
- receiving the source air via a drop charger and providing a spray of electrically charged drops of the aqueous solution to produce treated air;
- eliminating liquid in the treated air via a mist eliminator and producing conditioned air;
- providing the aqueous solution via a liquid purifier;
- receiving the conditioned air and producing supply air via a heat exchanger;
- and
- moving the supply air via a fan to a facility employing the supply air.
