Title: Improvements in the Ventilating of Buildings
Inventor: KEY WILLIAM
Filed: 1900-12-21
Granted: 1901-12-21
Abstract: 23,435. Key, W. Dec. 21. Air, purifying, filtering, &c.-Relates to means for purifying the air used in ventilating a building from carbonic acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, ammonia, dust, and organic matter. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the air entering by the inlet b may first pass through steam or hot-water coils a so as to be heated before coming into contact with stacks d of glass rods or tubes, preferably inclined as shown, down which the purifying-liquil trickles. The tubes are arranged in tiers, and at the top pass loosely through holes formed in the bottom of reservoirs e, g. The liquid, which consists of barium hydrate, oxide of iron, or milk of lime solution, trickles down the tubes, and frees the air from carbonic acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, carbonic acid, organic matter, and dust. A reservoir k, pump m, and pipe &c. connections are arranged for circulating the liquid. After leaving the glass tubes, the air passes through sieves q carrying moistened oxide of lime for the removal of carbonic acid, sulphuretted hydrogen, and ammonia. The sieve may be inclined as shown, or in the opposite direction, or a number of horizontal sieves arranged in one plane or in steps may be employed. Hydrated peroxide of iron mixed with sawdust &c. may be laid over the oxide of lime, or exposed in separate trays or sieves. The air may afterwards be heated by passing it through steam or hot-water coils s, and then moistened and any remaining dust &c. removed, by passing it through a coir &c. screen t, down which trickles water supplied from a pipe v. The air may be forced or drawn through the apparatus by fans or air propellers driven by an engine or electric &c. motor. The air may again be heated after passing through the screen t. Instead of the sieves q, the oxide of lime &c. may be arranged as a vertical diaphragm between expanded metal sheets, and, instead of the glass tubes d, coco-nut fibre, pebbles, broken glass, wooden laths, or slag may be arranged as a diaphragm between sheets of expanded metal or screens, to allow the metal to trickle across the path of the incoming air. In some instances, the air may first act on the oxide of iron and then on the liquid, in which case the liquid solution apparatus may take the place of the sereen t. Either the liquid solution apparatus or the sieve q may be used separately.
