Abstract
Air filtration devices are described for wet air filtration. In exemplary embodiments, an air filtration device includes a housing having an air intake and an air outlet. An air conduit extends between the air intake and the air outlet. A fan is positioned in the air conduit and configured to draw air into the device via the air intake and propel the air through an air channel towards the air outlet. The air conduit includes a liquid introduction section configured to introduce a liquid to the air in the air channel, and a liquid removal section configured to guide the air in a downward helical path downstream of the liquid introduction section configured to separate the liquid from the air using centrifugal force.
