Abstract
A container for receiving wet exhaust from a deisel engine into an inlet pipe leading into the container. The inlet pipe has a closed bottom and slot in the side thereof intermediate the top and bottom for discharging exhaust into the container. The container has a false bottom spaced above its closed bottom with a fluid access opening in the false bottom. An overflow pipe extends from below the false bottom to a location above the latter and then out the side of the container; this pipe controlling the water level within the container. A pump out pipe is disposed with its inlet end at this water level and removes sheen from the surface of the water to a location outside of the container.
Claims5
A wet exhaust processing system comprising in combination,
- A) an annular cylinder having a closed top, a closed bottom, and a false bottom spaced above said closed bottom,
- 1) said false bottom having an access opening therein for providing fluid passage therethrough,
- B) a wet exhaust input pipe
- 1) extending into said cylinder through the closed top thereof,
- 2) having a closed lower end, and
- 3) having a slot means formed therein in the portion of said pipe within said cylinder,
- C) a water overflow pipe extending from below said false bottom in an upward direction and exiting said cylinder at a location intermediate said closed top and said false bottom,
- 1) said overflow pipe dictating the water level within said cylinder by draining water from below said false bottom,
- D) an exhaust discharge pipe confluently connected to said annular cylinder at a location above said overflow pipe and circumferentially spaced from said input pipe,
- F) plate means in said cylinder extending vertically from said false bottom to said closed top and circumferentially positioned between said input pipe and said discharge pipe for forcing exhaust from said input pipe to move circumferentially in only one direction to said discharge pipe, and
- G) a pump out line for pumping sheen off the surface of the water in said cylinder.
