Process of Electrostatic Recirculation for Dedusting and Gas Cleaning and Device Thereof

Номер: US20120067214A1
Принадлежит: Individual

Cyclones with electrostatically enhanced recirculation, comprising a collector cyclone and an entry for dirty gases, located upstream from a recirculator and a central exhaust channel (CEC) for exhausting cleaned gases. Cyclones are placed in series and have a recirculation line from the concentrator to the collector to recirculate part of the gas stream. Recirculator has means for applying a high voltage producing an ionizing electric field driving particles away from CEC, without significant particle deposition on recirculator walls. Current density in the recirculator field is below 0.1 mA/m. 2 Average electric field is below 2×I0 5 V/m. Particles are driven away from CEC in the recirculator by joint action of mechanical/electrical forces, the latter deriving from particles traversing the ionized field, concentrating them in the fraction of gas stream recycled back to the collector cyclone, where a part is captured. Uses include dedusting, dry gas cleaning (for acid gases), and capturing bacteria.

The nature of the technical disclosure contained in the attached utility patent application is the methodology by which liquid and particulate contaminants are removed from used, dirty engine and machinery oil. The methodology includes the use of heat, vacuum and high pressure filtering. 1. No invention or process on record combines heat and vacuum to remove water , alcohol and other moisture from used oil.2. No invention or process on record combines heat and pressure to filter oil to the level of one micron creating usable recycled oil while retaining additive packages in the oil.3. No invention or process on record removes particulates that are less than one micron through the use of a centrifugal clarifier. NoneThere has been no federally sponsored research and development related to this invention.There are no parties related to a joint research agreement.There are no sequence listings relating to this invention.There are no prior disclosures related to this invention.The seed for the development of the invention was planted more than seven years ago by the applicant, Robert R. Norwood. Mr. Norwood, at the time, was consulting with a top fuel drag race team and determined that the team would be better served by recycling the engine oil from their race cars rather than replacing the oil in the engine following each pass down the drag stripThe invention is a device, contained within a cabinet-sized unit that recycles oil drained from engines and machinery of all types. The used, dirty oil from the engine or machinery is cleaned and filtered down to a particle size of one micron by the unit. The cleaned oil can be re-used in the very engine or machinery out of which it was drained, allowing the oil to be employed over and over for the life of the engine or machinery. A formerly discarded material is now recycled, promoting sustainability by eliminating an end-of-life event for millions of gallons of engine oil annually. The Steamin Deamon is assembled from a ...

Pulse Filter Cleaner for Portable Cyclonic Dust Collector/Vacuum Cleaner

Номер: US20140223690A1
Принадлежит: Oneida Air Systems Inc

A cyclonic portable vacuum cleaner/dust collector has a cyclonic chamber and a filter chamber. The filter chamber contains a filter cartridge with a hollow core positioned over the discharge opening of a motor plate that closes the filter chamber. A vacuum blower is mounted on the motor plate, with an intake tube at the discharge opening of the motor plate. An annular pulse-cleaning plate is positioned over an associated annular opening that surrounds the motor plate discharge opening and has an open center that slides up and down on the intake tube of the vacuum blower. A bail handle or lever extends from the pulse-cleaning plate to a handle portion outside the cover or shroud. The handle is pushed down to lift the pulsing plate to provide a reverse pressure air pulse to the filter to blast off accumulated dust. An anti-deflagration screen may be present at the center of the motor plate.
