Abstract
A gas purification apparatus includes: a housing to which a gas is introduced; a filter portion for removing an impure substance in the gas from the gas, the filter portion being disposed inside the housing; and a gas purification agent for removing a removal target substance in the gas from the gas, the gas purification agent being disposed, inside the housing, on the filter portion or in a space at a downstream side of the filter portion with respect to a flow of the gas.
Claims13
A gas purification apparatus, comprising:
- a housing to which a gas is introduced;
- a filter portion that removes an impure substance from the gas, the filter portion being disposed inside the housing;
- and
- a gas purification agent that removes a removal target substance in the gas from the gas, the gas purification agent being disposed inside the housing on the filter portion or in a space at a downstream side of the filter portion with respect to a flow of the gas, wherein
- the filter portion includes a filter element having a hollow portion, the filter element being disposed to protrude from the space at the downstream side toward a space at an upstream side of the filter portion with respect to the flow of the gas,
- the gas purification agent is disposed at least in the filter element or in the hollow portion of the filter element,
- the filter portion further includes a support portion for supporting the filter element,
- the filter element protrudes downward from the support portion, and
- the support portion stores a backup gas purification agent above the gas purification agent.
A gas purification apparatus, comprising:
- a housing to which a gas is introduced;
- a filter portion that removes an impure substance from the gas, the filter portion being disposed inside the housing;
- and
- a gas purification agent that removes a removal target substance in the gas from the gas, the gas purification agent being disposed inside the housing on the filter portion or in a space at a downstream side of the filter portion with respect to a flow of the gas, wherein
- the filter portion includes a filter element having a hollow portion, the filter element being disposed to protrude from the space at the downstream side toward a space at an upstream side of the filter portion with respect to the flow of the gas,
- the gas purification agent is disposed at least in the filter element or in the hollow portion of the filter element, and
- the gas purification apparatus further comprises a discharge port that discharges the gas purification agent from the hollow portion of the filter element, the discharge port being disposed on the filter element.
A ship, comprising:
- an engine;
- and
- a gas purification apparatus, wherein
- the gas purification apparatus comprises:
- a housing to which a gas is introduced;
- a filter portion that removes an impure substance from the gas, the filter portion being disposed inside the housing;
- and
- a gas purification agent that removes a removal target substance in the gas from the gas, the gas purification agent being disposed, inside the housing, on the filter portion or in a space at a downstream side of the filter portion with respect to a flow of the gas, and
- the gas purification apparatus is configured such that exhaust gas from the engine is introduced into the housing of the gas purification apparatus as the gas.
