ABSTRACT:
An air scrubber apparatus is provided for removing particles or fumes from an air stream. The apparatus first saturates the air stream with a liquid and then passes the air stream through a tortuous path defined by an arrangement of three internal baffles. The air stream impinges on two baffles which separate the liquid-particulate agglomeration from the air stream, after which it is directly channeled to a hopper while being shielded from the air stream. Another baffle is provided as a partition between the air flow and the hopper area to inhibit the reabsorption of particles by the air stream. The hopper is of V-shaped configuration which is effective in reducing the turbulence of the air flow around the base of the apparatus. In addition, the V-shaped hopper can accommodate more than one liquid filtering device. The subject apparatus may be provided with an adjustable baffle adjacent the air intake opening and adjustable vanes adjacent the air exhaust opening for varying the negative pressure created by the flow of air through the apparatus.
