Abstract
A filtration system which uses a frame being a multi-sided tube positioned substantially horizontal. The tube is closed at a first end and supports a multitude of filters which filter the ambient air flowing into the interior of the multi-sided tube. A motor mechanism rotates the multi-sided tube around a horizontal axis while a fan draws air from the second end of said multi-sided tube, thereby pulling the ambient air through the filters. A pulsed air jet is directed at a bottom group of filters and periodically cleans the filters, allowing the debris to fall into a catch basin where an auger pulls the debris away.
Claims20
A filtration system contained within a plenum comprising:
- a) a multi-sided-tube-positioned substantially horizontal, said tube being closed at a first end thereof and having a multitude of filters attached thereto communicating between an ambient exterior and an interior of the multi-sided tube;
- b) a motor mechanism connected to said multi-sided tube configured to continuously rotate said multi-sided tube around a horizontal axis;
- c) a fan drawing air from the second end of said multi-sided tube such that ambient air is drawn into an interior of the plenum at a lower portion of said multi-sided tube to then pass through the multitude of filters;
- and,
- d) a pulsed air jet directed at a bottom portion of said multi-sided tube, said pulsed air jet being periodically activated to emit an air jet from the interior of the multi-sided tube through filters located at the bottom of the multi-sided tube.
An expandable filtration assembly comprising:
- a) At least two multi-sided tubes positioned substantially horizontal and connected end to end to form an extended tube, each of said tubes having a multitude of filters attached thereto communicating between an ambient exterior and an interior of the multi-sided tube, each of said multi-sided tubes contained within a plenum, a first end of the extended tube being closed at a first end thereof;
- b) a motor mechanism connected to said extended tube and configured to continuously and without interruption rotate said multi-sided tube around a horizontal axis;
- c) a fan drawing air from an interior of the extended tube multi-sided tube such that ambient air is drawn into an interior of said extended tube via the multitude of filters, said ambient air entering each plenum proximate to a bottom of said plenum;
- and,
- d) a pulsed air jet directed at a bottom portion of said extended tube, said pulsed air jet being periodically activated to emit an-air jet from the interior of the extended tube through filters located at the bottom of the extended tube.
A filtration system comprising:
- a) a plenum containing a hexagonal tube positioned substantially horizontal, said hexagonal tube being closed at a first end thereof and having a multitude of filters attached thereto, said multitude of filters communicating between an ambient exterior and an interior of the hexagonal tube;
- b) a motor mechanism connected to said hexagonal tube configured to continuously rotate said hexagonal tube around a horizontal axis;
- c) a fan drawing air from a second end of said hexagonal tube such that ambient air, entering via a lower half of said plenum, is drawn into an interior of said hexagonal tube via the multitude of filters.
