Abstract
A device and a method for purifying and decontaminating air uses an exchanger of the cyclone type and furthermore employs a combination of the action of cyclonic centrifugation and the action of at least one path enhancing field. A tranquilizing chamber, which is separated from the cyclone exchanger by a vent, maintains a volume of liquid into which particles and droplets are received from the peripheral wall. To this end, particulates are partially electrified before entering the enhancing field.
Claims16
A device for purifying and decontaminating air comprising a cyclone exchanger having means for causing cyclonic centrifugation of the air in combination with means for exposing the air to at least one cyclone path enhancing field, wherein the air is partially electrified before entering the enhancing field, wherein the cyclone exchanger has cooling means coupled to a peripheral wall of the cyclone exchanger, wherein the enhancing field operates to direct the partially electrified air radially outwardly toward the peripheral wall of the cyclone exchanger, and further comprising a tranquilizing chamber separated from the cyclone exchanger by a vent and adapted to maintain a volume of liquid into which particles and droplets are received from the peripheral wall.
A method for purifying and decontaminating air in a cyclone exchanger including cooling means coupled to a peripheral wall of the cyclone exchanger, and means for causing cyclonic centrifugation of the air, the method comprising the steps of partially electrifying the air, and exposing the partially electrified air to at least one cyclone path enhancing field in combination with the cyclonic centrifugation, wherein the enhancing field operates to direct the partially electrified air radially outwardly toward the peripheral wall of the cyclone exchanger, on which droplets form carrying particles into a tranquilizing chamber separated from the cyclone exchanger by a vent and adapted to maintain a volume of liquid into which the particles and droplets are received from the peripheral wall.
