Abstract:
1. A cleaning device for removing particles from a surface, said cleaning device comprising: a spraying apparatus including at least one rotatable brush for spraying droplets of a work fluid into a defined coalescing space within the cleaning device, said at least one rotatable brush having flexible brush elements arranged for wetting by a work fluid and being dimensioned such that, when said brush is rotated at a predetermined rotational speed, said brush elements expel said droplets of the work fluid into said coalescing space in the form of a mist; an inlet disposed for receiving air-laden particles from the surface, said inlet being in communication with the defined coalescing space for, during operation, passing the air-laden particles into said defined coalescing space to be coalesced with the droplets of the mist; and a cleansing unit in communication with the defined coalescing space for, during operation, receiving and separating at least a portion of the coalesced particles from the air; said operation including passing an air stream through the cleaning device for conveying the particles to the cleansing unit.
