Abstract
A gas management system and method for safe removal of undesirous gas through readily available discharge means comprising a reliable and autonomous block prevention means configured to mitigate the tendency of conduit systems to gradually/abruptly develop blockages from various reasons.
Claims20
A semi-closed compartment gas management system, comprising:
- (i) a power source,
- (ii) an impeller configured to be driven by the power source and create a gas flow,
- (iii) a conduit having a gas inlet in communication with a semi-closed compartment and an outlet in contact with a discharge means,
- (iv) a fluid barrier receptacle comprises a fluid inlet supine aperture and configured to be connected to the conduit between its gas inlet and outlet and further comprises a float component,
- wherein the gas flow created by the impeller is designated to flow from the semi-closed compartment and through the conduit and wherein the fluid barrier receptacle is configured to block gas originating from the discharge means from spreading to the semi-closed compartment while the impeller is not operating and,
- wherein the float component is vertically adjustable and configured to operate autonomously in order to prevent block by utilizing a protrusion characterized as a rod having ridges and grooves and having a clearance gap fit with the fluid inlet aperture, and
- wherein the alternating operation of the float component that comprises the protrusion entering and exiting the inlet aperture is configured to prevent or remove scale deposits from the inlet aperture.

A method for using a semi-closed compartment gas management system, comprising the steps of:
- (i) applying an impeller to create a gas flow through a conduit having a gas inlet in communication with a semi-closed compartment and an outlet in contact with a discharge means, characterized in that said flow also passes through a fluid barrier receptacle comprising a fluid inlet supine aperture and configured to be connected to the conduit between its gas inlet and outlet,
- (ii) utilizing said gas flowing from the semi-closed compartment through the conduit and the fluid barrier receptacle in order to discharge gas from the semi-closed compartment, and
- (iii) utilizing the fluid barrier receptacle to block gas originating in the discharge means from spreading to the semi-closed compartment when the impeller is not operating,
- (iv) utilizing a float component vertically adjustable and configured to operate autonomously in order to prevent block by using a protrusion characterized by a rod having ridges and grooves and having a clearance gap fit with the fluid inlet aperture, and wherein the alternating operation of the float component that comprises the protrusion entering and exiting the inlet aperture is configured to prevent or remove scale deposits from the inlet aperture.
