Abstract:
A gas scrubber system, comprising:a work area containing air to be cleaned of contaminants having a floor receiving a liquid;a gas scrubber comprising a plurality of spaced, generally aligned discrete scrubber pods, each scrubber pod including an inlet section having opposed converging generally planar walls and opposed side walls, said inlet section receiving said gas and said liquid in generally uniform flow along said walls, an intermediate section communicating with said inlet section having opposed diverging walls and side walls receiving liquid and gas from said inlet section, and a lower section communicating with said intermediate section having opposed top and bottom walls wherein said bottom wall extends generally transverse to said opposed diverging walls of said intermediate section promoting turbulent flow of said liquid and transfer of said contaminates to said liquid, side walls and an end wall having an orifice nozzle directing a mixture of said liquid and gas generally perpendicular to an axis of said inlet section defined between said diverging walls; andsaid spaced discrete scrubber pods being aligned such that said converging walls of said inlet sections are aligned and the combined lengths of said discrete scrubber pods in between fifty and ninety percent of the total length of said scrubber system consisting of said combined lengths plus the length of the spaces between said scrubber pods.
