Abstract
An apparatus for treating air, such as an air humidifier, air cleaner, air washer or the like, may include a rinse-around body around which liquid rinses, an air conduction system arranged to stream the air to be treated against the rinse-around body, and an electrostatic precipitator assigned to the rinse-around body such that solid and/or liquid particles are precipitated from the air to be treated streaming against the rinse-around body and that the precipitated particles enter the liquid.
Claims24
An apparatus adapted to treat air, comprising:
- a rinse-around body configured such that liquid rinses around the rinse-around body;
- an air conduction system configured to stream the air to be treated against the rinse-around body;
- and
- an electrostatic precipitator associated with the rinse-around body and configured to precipitate solid and/or liquid particles from the air to be treated streaming against the rinse-around body and cause the precipitated particles to enter the liquid.
A method for treating air, comprising:
- forming a film that moves at least intermittently on a rinse-around body;
- and
- electrically precipitating solid and/or liquid particles into the liquid film from the air to be treated using an electrostatic precipitator.
