Abstract:
An air cleaner apparatus for removing air pollutants comprising:a duct-shaped body having external air flowing along a direction longitudinally therethrough; a dust collecting means disposed in an interior of said body, said dust collecting means for injecting a water spray into said interior of said body so as to absorb or dissolve the pollutants therein; air and water separating means positioned within said body and formed to have a plurality of grooves therein, said air and water separating means for allowing only filtered air from said dust collecting means to pass therethrough while causing water droplets entrained in the filtered air to be attached to a surface of said plurality of grooves; and a blower means having a blowing fan positioned within said body, said blower means for forcedly blowing the filtered air, said dust collecting means comprising: a primary dust collector; a secondary dust collector, said primary dust collector and said secondary dust collector each having a plurality of spray nozzles layeredly arranged at desired intervals, said plurality of spray nozzles configured to spray water at an angular dissipation range of 30Â°, said plurality of spray nozzles being aligned with said direction of external air flowing through said body, said primary dust collector having a first set of spray nozzles facing a second set of spray nozzles therein without obstruction therebetween, said second dust collector having a first set of spray nozzles facing a second set of spray nozzles therein without obstruction therebetween; a space dust collector interposed between said primary dust collector and said secondary dust collector so as to define a dust-collecting space without spray nozzles therein, said dust collecting means causing the external air to contact said dust collecting means three times while passing through said body; and a pump means positioned in said body for passing water under pressure to said dust collecting means.
