ABSTRACT:
An improved air cleaning device is provided for removing solid particulate matter from a contaminated air stream. The air cleaning device comprises a main housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. The air cleaning device further includes a wash section having a tubular housing with its upper end forming the contaminated air inlet and its lower end being open to the interior of the housing. A wash liquid disperser adjacent the upper end of the wash section housing injects a wash fluid into the contaminated air stream, while a venturi downstream from the dispenser accelerates the contaminated air stream now intermixed with the wash liquid downwardly through the wash section housing. The venturi comprises a pair of baffles each having an upper edge portion, a lower edge portion and forming a convex surface therebetween. The baffles are attached to facing walls in the wash section housing and so that the convex surface of the baffles face or protrude toward each other. The upper edge portion of each baffle is attachable to one of a plurality of longitudinally spaced baffle support brackets secured to the wash section housing. The lower edge portion of at least one baffle, and preferably both baffles, is secured to the wash section housing by means of a threaded connector which is pivotally connected at one end to the wash section housing and at its other end is connected to the lower edge portion of the baffle. The lower edge portion of the baffles is thus laterally adjustable between an extended position, in which the lower edge portion of the baffle is spaced outwardly away from its associated wash section housing wall and a retracted position in which the baffle lower edge portion is closely adjacent its associated wash section housing wall. The lateral adjustment of the lower edge portion of the baffle simultaneously pivots the baffle around its upper support bracket and thus variably adjusts the minimum width of the venturi section.
