Abstract
A gas and vapor separator includes an axial fan with blade members which carry an absorbing material. A power means, such as an electric motor, rotates the fan, which causes the adulterated fluid to pass through the apparatus. As the fan blades contact the fluid, the desiccant material absorbs the undesirable elements in the fluid and simultaneously expels the cleansed fluid. The centrifugal force which acts on the absorbed matter causes said matter to radially translate in an outwardly fashion into a circular collector which entraps and retains the absorbed matter. The desiccant material is thereby continuously purged and capable of continuously cleansing the adulterated fluid.
Claims9
An apparatus for treating gases, comprising, in combination:
- a rotating member including a hub member and a blade member, said blade member being attached at its innermost portion to said hub and carrying a desiccant material for absorbing absorbates of any specific gravity from incoming gases to be treated;
- and power means operably connected to said hub member for rotating said rotating member at a high speed to propel axially a flow of gases purged of said absorbates and simultaneously to divert by centrifugal force radially and outwardly only said absorbates in said desiccant material to reactivate and purge said desiccant material without any external gas-propelling means, without any desiccant thermal re-activating means, and without any oxidizing means.
