Abstract

the c02 filter is characterized by the fact that no external energy is required to store the co2. because the incoming air defig.4(5) floods the endless filter fig.1 (5) by the speed of movement itself.

Description

The invention describes a device that makes it possible to filter CO 2 from the air, to reactivate and store bound CO 2 . The invention does not require any additional energy and is built into moving vehicles etc. as a small system.

Waste heat is used for reactivation and the inflow speed makes supply fans superfluous. The gas is separated in a vacuum (part of the system) and stored for further use.

State of the art

Large plants are known, which require an investment in the tens of millions, they are not mobile, so they cannot be used everywhere, and the plants cannot currently be operated economically.

problem

The underlying task of the problem is to construct a technical solution that can be integrated into existing systems and is economically viable. The aim is that the invention can be used by a large part of society. This provides a socio-political incentive to actively participate in the implementation of the climate goals. Current designs are individually funded, highly complex systems which, although they fulfill the filter tasks, are not applicable to a large number of people, they are also not economical, are not integrated into existing processes and do not use existing cycles that have existed for decades. The invention intends to make use of resources that are available on a large scale.

Troubleshooting

To develop a device that can be used in large numbers in society. A major advantage is that by using existing energy sources that are accessible to a large part of society, small systems become affordable for the average citizen and an important emotional factor that makes "active participation" in climate design possible.

The small device for filtering and storing CO 2 is operated with the energy available in mobile units, for example motor vehicles.

Details of the small system:

The basis of the invention is that the small device uses the inflow speed of the air caused by the acceleration. At a speed of 80 km/h the wind speed is 22.22 m/s, with a pipe diameter of 200 mm the values are approx. 698.06 l/sec, 41883.71 l/min, 2513.02 m3/h. No suction fan is necessary, but some air filter resistors must be removed. However, since the band filter is very permeable to air, the loss remains small.

The belt filter will run on a timer based on the operating time, thus turning the contaminated part of the belt filter into a vacuum chamber. The chamber is subjected to a certain temperature in a defined period of time, so that the CO 2 can be released from the filter material and stored in a container by a suction chamber. An endless belt is installed, which keeps the maintenance effort low in this very wear-friendly system.

The vacuum chamber is equipped with a heating element, which is fed from the cooling water of the engine, alternatively, electrical or other available energy can be used. The energy required to turn the bandpass filter is very low, since the energy is only required at large intervals and then only for a few seconds. It is used for the electrically operated motor, which is fed by battery power or power generated by the alternator.

The required compressor, which is operated with 12 V, can be supplied via the named energy sources. The compressor can be obtained as a standard part. Here, too, energy is only required over a long period of time and only for a few seconds to build up the vacuum, which then stores the CO 2 in a container. The full container can be unloaded at a suitable tap. This can be implemented without much effort at existing gas stations.

For example, the suction hose already leads petrol gases back into the gas tank. It is conceivable that CO 2 could be sucked off by the vehicle's existing compressor with a suitable connection.

A route to recycling would be available via the filling stations, which the energy industry could use, since a network is available.

An important basic idea is that participation can be valuable in terms of climate and social policy, because everyone can see what they are doing for the environment.

Functionality of the CO 2 filter

Fig. 1 (1-5) Details of the small system

It uses the inflow velocity of the air resulting from the acceleration. At a speed of 80 km/h, the wind speed is 22.22 m/s. With a pipe diameter of 200 mm, this results in approx. 698.06 l/sec, 41883.71 l/min, 2513.02 m3/h. 4 (1-5) no suction fan is necessary, of course some air filter resistors have to be subtracted. However, since the band filter is very permeable to air, it remains to a small extent.

The band filter 1 (5) will run on a timer based on the operating time and the contaminated part of the belt filter into a vacuum chamber 1 (2.3) turns in 1 (1.5) . The chamber is created when 4 (1,2,3) the heating element moves towards the suction element 1 (3.4) and a part of the endless filter belt 1 (5) between them, the heating element is subjected to a certain temperature and a defined period of time, so that the CO 2 is released from the filter material and through in the vacuum chamber 4 (3) located suction element 4 (1) sucked out with a compressor and stored in a container.

The vacuum chamber 4 (3) is equipped with a heating element 1 (3) , this is fed by the cooling water of the engine, alternatively an electrical or other existing energy source can be used.

The energy for twisting 1 (1) of the band filter is very low, since only a few seconds are needed for the electrically operated motor at large intervals and even then, fed by battery power or current generated by the alternator. The compressor is operated with 12 V, can be obtained as a series part and is only used at long intervals and only a few seconds to build up the vacuum, which then stores the CO 2 in a container.
