Abstract
The fog removal apparatus comprises a plurality of fog barriers for removing moisture in the fog by absorbing moisture in the fog and by allowing air to pass therethrough when the fog passes through the fog barrier on the wind, and a fog barrier support for supporting the fog barrier. The fog barrier comprises a perforated plate arranged on an outer surface of the frame to support the fog barrier; a coated mesh having a porous waterproofing function; a super absorbent sheet for absorbing a large amount of moisture from the fog passing through the fog barrier; a heating means arranged adjacent to the super absorbent sheet to heat and dry the coated mesh and the super absorbent sheet.
Claims20
A fog removal apparatus installed in a fog area, comprising a plurality of fog barriers for removing moisture in fog by absorbing moisture in the fog and by allowing air to pass therethrough when the fog passes through the plurality of fog barriers on the wind, and a fog barrier support for supporting each of the plurality of fog barriers, the fog barrier support being connected to a frame surrounding the exterior of each of the plurality of fog barriers,
- wherein the plurality of fog barriers consist of an array of one or more fog barriers that extends in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, each of the plurality of fog barriers comprising:
- one or more perforated plates having a plurality of holes, and being arranged on one or both of two outer surfaces of the frame to support each of the plurality of fog barriers, each of the plurality of holes being formed in a shape;
- a coated mesh having a porous waterproofing function that passes particles relatively smaller than fog particles but does not pass particles relatively larger than fog particles;
- a super absorbent sheet for absorbing a large amount of moisture from fog passing through the plurality of fog barriers;
- and
- a heating means arranged in the interior of each of the plurality of fog barriers adjacent to the super absorbent sheet to heat and dry the coated mesh and the super absorbent sheet;
- wherein the one or more perforated plates, the coated mesh, the heating means, and the super absorbent sheet are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance arranged from a side of fog inflow to an opposite side of fog discharge of each of the plurality of fog barriers.
A multipurpose fog removal system comprising a fog removal apparatus installed in a fog area, the fog removal apparatus comprising a plurality of fog barriers for removing moisture in fog by absorbing moisture in the fog and by allowing air to pass therethrough when the fog passes through the plurality of fog barriers on the wind, and a fog barrier support for supporting each of the plurality of fog barriers, the fog barrier support being connected to a frame surrounding the exterior of each of the plurality of fog barriers,
- wherein the plurality of fog barriers of the fog removal apparatus consist of an array of one or more fog barriers that extends in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction;
- wherein each of the plurality of fog barriers comprises:
- a perforated plate of corrosion-resistant material having a plurality of holes and being arranged on one outer surface of the frame to support each of the plurality of fog barriers, each of the plurality of holes being formed in a circular shape;
- a coated mesh having a porous waterproofing function that passes particles relatively smaller than fog particles but does not pass particles relatively larger than fog particles;
- a super absorbent sheet consisting of a highly absorbent resin, a highly absorbent polymer, or a highly absorbent non-woven fabric for absorbing large amount of moisture from fog passing through the plurality of fog barriers, and having a plurality of holes spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance and perforated in a circular shape;
- a heating means arranged adjacent to the super absorbent sheet to heat and dry the coated mesh and the super absorbent sheet;
- and
- a stainless steel screen arranged on an opposing outer surface of the frame with respect to the perforated plate to support each of the plurality of fog barriers;
- wherein the perforated plate, the coated mesh, the heating means, the super absorbent sheet, and the perforated plate of each of the plurality of fog barriers are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance arranged from an inflow side to an opposite discharge side of each of the plurality of fog barriers;
- wherein the multipurpose fog removal system further comprises:
- an overflow prevention apparatus arranged at an upper end of the fog barrier support so as to provide an upward flow of air to prevent an overflow phenomenon wherein the fog passes over the fog removal apparatus;
- and a wind prevention apparatus configured to tilt and rotate the plurality of fog barriers to a predetermined angle about a rotation axis of the frame.
