Combined Rotating Bed Mechanical Dust Collector and Water Droplet Eliminator

摘要

The combined air scrubber and water eliminator forming this invention can be used in conjunction with a mining machine to clean dust-laden air. The focal point of the invention is its smooth faced, air sealed rotating fibrous bed which is continuously wetted by water sprays as the to be scrubbed air is forced through it. Forming the bed is a thin, dense, uniform thickness, smooth upper surface mesh wire cloth. As the bed is rotated, centrifugal forces sling the large dust-laden water and particulates from the outer periphery of the bed to settle by gravity, or to a collection system that removes them from the working area.
