Abstract
Disclosed is a wet air purifier that eliminates contaminants while contaminated air passes therethrough by causing the contaminated air to come into contact with water. The wet air purifier suctions external air by rotating a rotary fan installed therein and disperses water droplets by causing water to collide with a rotary fan to increase a contact surface between air and water. In the wet air purifier, a mixture of the contaminated external air and the water is made to pass through a long narrow passage and guided to a storage tank in which contaminants are settled. In this way, the wet air purifier increases a retention time and a collision time of water and contaminated air. The wet air purifier also can function as a humidifier.
Claims12
A wet air purifier comprising:
- an outer cover (100) having a top surface made of a perforated member (110) and a closed outer side surface;
- an air discharge portion (200) provided under the outer cover (100) and having a plurality of discharge holes (210) each of which is open at a bottom and at an outer side surface thereof and a plurality of through-holes (220) each of which is open at a top surface thereof and is disposed at an inner position than the discharge hole (210);
- a storage tank (300) installed under the air discharge portion (200) and provided with a purification container (300b) installed therein;
- a cross-flow rotary fan (400a) installed in the outer cover (100) and connected to a motor (420) coupled to a top center portion of the air discharge portion (200);
- an inner cover (500) installed between the outer cover (100) and the rotary fan (400a) and having an open top and a closed outer side surface;
- and
- a nozzle portion (600) installed at an upper end of the inner cover (500) and connected to an end of a transfer pipe (320) that is connected to a pump (310) installed in the purification container (300b) of the storage tank (300a) at a lower end thereof and which extends upward to pass through the air discharge portion (200) and through a space portion between the outer cover (100) and the inner cover (500), the nozzle portion (600) having a flow channel (610) formed therein and a plurality of nozzle holes (620) formed at a bottom surface thereof.
A wet air purifier comprising:
- a housing having an inside space divided into a suction portion (810) that is an upper portion thereof, a discharge portion (820) that is a middle portion thereof, and a storage portion (830) that is a lower portion thereof;
- a first barrier (811) horizontally installed between the suction portion (810) and the discharge portion (820);
- a second barrier (8210) horizontally installed between the discharge portion (820) and the storage portion (830);
- a shielding film (801) coupled to a rear end of the first barrier (811) in a surface contact manner and extending upward by a predetermined length, and coupled to a rear end of the second barrier (821) in a surface contact manner and extending downward;
- a vertically extending narrow space portion (802) provided between the shielding film (801) and an inside rear surface of the housing (800);
- a cross-flow rotary fan (400) horizontally installed in the suction portion and connected to a motor (420) coupled to a portion of the suction portion (810);
- a third barrier vertically installed to divide an inside space of the storage portion (830) into a waste section (831) and a purification section (832);
- an inflow hole (834) formed to pass through the third barrier (833);
- a transfer pipe (320) connected to a pump (310) installed in the purification section (832) and extending upward to pass through the discharge portion (820) and the suction portion (830);
- a nozzle bar (600) horizontally installed, connected to an upper end of the transfer pipe (520), disposed at an upper end portion of the suction portion (810), and provided with a plurality of nozzle holes (620) arranged at intervals in a horizontal longitudinal direction thereof;
- and
- perforated members (803, 822) having a plurality of through-holes and respectively installed at a front portion of the housing (800) and in the second barrier (821).
