Abstract

A pollution control device having a tank provided with an inlet and an outlet arranged for passing a gaseous medium to be cleaned into the tank and through a bath of washing solution held in the tank. A blower unit, mounted outside of the tank, forces the gaseous medium through the bath. A line connecting the blower unit to the bath passes a quantity of washing solution through the blower unit for cooling the unit. Baffles are arranged partially immersed in the bath in the tank for creating a large surface across the gaseous flow and facilitating separation of particulate matter from the medium being cleaned. The baffles are advantageously in the form of a plurality of cylinders each constructed from a mesh material and tiered in one or more substantially vertical channels arranged within the tank.

An anti-pollution device for polluted gaseous medium from incinerators and the like, comprising, in combination:

a tank having an inlet for the gaseous medium and an outlet for cleaned gases, and holding a bath of a washing solution;
single blower means having an input and output connected to said tank but mounted outside thereof for creating a flow of a gaseous medium being cleaned between the inlet and the outlet of the tank and having another input, a line having one end connected to the tank and in communication with the bath and having the other end connected to said another input, said blower means inducting the washing solution through said line for cooling the blower means, and baffle means for creating a large surface across the flow of gaseous medium and facilitating separation of particulate matter from the medium being cleaned arranged in the tank, and partially immersed in the bath, between the output of said blower means and the tank outlet.
