PM, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON,
A CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON.
I AIR WASHER. I
Application filed December 8, 1928. Serial 110.6",187.
To 'allwhom z't,may concern:
- Be it knownthat I, EDGAR O. KAUP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have inventedcertain new and usefu Im rovements in Air Washers, of which the fol owing is a specification.
This invention relates to apparatus for use, more especially, with air-washers to remove free particles of liquid from washed gases by means of'eliminator plates. 1
The object of my invention, generally, is the perfecting of apparatus of this character to improve its efliciency, to enable it to be convenient] handled, trans orted, and adapt it to readily and rapi y erected or repaired by unskilled labor at a minimum of expense.
A more specificobject is to provide an air washer having assemblies of eliminator plates which are arranged to be removed in groups from the casing, and subsequently permitting the respective groups to be taken a art to allow the plates to be individually cidaned, painted or replaced by new ones.
Other s ecific objects and advantages of the invent1on will appear in thefollowing The invention consists in the novel c0nstruction-andcombination of parts, and in the novel means for separably connecting the eliminator'plates in a grou or groups, and in the means for'securing t e assembled grou s of plates within the casing therefor,
as wi 1 be hereinafter described and claimed.
- In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1' is a transverse sectional view taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 2 of an air washer embodying. my invention. Fig. 2 is a". longitudinal vertical section of Fig. 1, parts of the washer casing being broken away. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional View on line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an end elevation of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of-one of the eliminator plate-spacing tically apart to enable the elements shown in the preceding views.
In said drawing the reference numeral 10 represents a casing open at both ends and formed withside walls 11-and a top wall 12 which are, by preference, s'eparably con-- nected together as b belts or other known fastenin means. sin casing is mounted base member 13 in the nature of a liquid containing receptacle or tank.
vbodily removable from the I casing.
As shown, there is rovided within said casing a plurality o vertically disposed eliminator plates 14 preferably of corrugated shapes and arranged in side by side relations to afford intermediate the plates tortuous passages, such as 15, Fig. 3, disposed in substantially parallel relations with the casing side walls 11. Each of said platesis preferably formed of a succession of plane portions, as 16, disposed in 'approximatel the angular relations in which they are il ustrated in Fig, 3.
According to the present invention said plates are arranged in grou s as a b, c, and (l in Fig. 1, for example. aid groups are casing and the plates themselves are removable 'from the respective grou s as hereinafter explained. More particu arly each group of eliminator plates 14 have positioned between their upper and lower ends spacing members 17 and II -arranged in series located respectively adjacent to the front and rear'faces of the plate assembly. i v
Each of said spacing members is preferably of aU-shape, and the upper s acing members 17 are emplog ed in inver positions, as illustrated in igs. 1 and 2.
The plates of a roup thereof are rigidly secured to each ot er and to the respective series of spacing members by means of headed tie-bolts 18 extending through aligned holes provided in the plates and in the side flanges, as 19, Fig. .5,of the spacing members, and nuts 20 engaging screw threaded ends of said bolts. 21 re resent washers provided on said bolts to urnish seats for the bolt heads and nuts.
-Some or'allof the spacing members are ]provided in their web elements, as 22, with oles as 23, to receive bolts 24 for removably group of plates to the flanges 25 securing'a ar elements 25 and 26 of the and 26 of These bar elements are desirably of angle bars. or an equivalent, and are spaced vergroups of plates to be inserted therebetween.
If at any time it is desired to remove an eliminator plate for cleaning or renewing,
the unit or group of plates to which. the
plate belongs is taken from the casing after removin the respective bolts 24 and the unititse f is then-disassembled by removing I the bolts 18. v
In operation, humidified air or other gas is driven or sucked through the assages 15 in an approximately horizonta direction, when the plates are arranged vertically as shown, the liquid laden air or gas thus travelling through the washer impinges against the angularly disposed surfaces of the eliminator plates resulting in the free liquid in the air or gas being condensed or deposited upon the plates and from which the liquid drains into the tank,
While I have described the invention as applied to a vertical arrangement'of eliminator plates, I do not wish to be understood .as confining the invention to such an ar- -rangement,.1nasmuch as the plates oftentimes may be advantageously employed in horizontal or oblique positions. v
What I claim, is:-
1. In apparatus of the character described, the combination of a casing, provided interiorly with bar elements, a plurality of corrugated eliminator plates dis osed between said bars, Ushaped members interposed be- 25 tween the adjacent plates for retaining the latter in spaced relations with each other to afford tortuous passages between the adjacent corrugated plates, means extending throughsaid plates and the spacing members for detachably connecting them together as a unit, and fastening means engaging said spacing members and the respective casing bars for removably securing a unit within the casing.
2. In apparatus of the character described, a casing provided interiorly with verticallyspaced bar elements, a unit comprising a plurality of vertically disposed eliminator plates, spacing members interposed between the upper and lower ends respectively of said plates, and fastening means for engaging the plates and spacing members of the unit together, and means engaging in said spacing members and the casing bars for remova'bly securing said unit within the casing.
