GAS SCRUBBING APPARATUS Filed Jan. 6, 1965 INVENTOR. GEORGE DOUGLAS KRAUSE ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,393,901 GAS SCRUBBING APPARATUS George Douglas Krause, Louisville, Ky., assiguor to American Air Filter Company, Inc., Louisville, Ky., a corporation of Delaware Filed Jan. 6, 1965, Ser. No. 423,707 Claims. (Cl. 261-62) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A venturi-ty-pe gas scrubbing apparatus including a contraction section, an intermediate throat section, and an expansion section, the throat section having adjusting means independently operative of the contraction and expansion section, and means to introduce washing liquid in opposed paths normal to the gas stream to be treated at a location upstream the throat section immediately adjacent the adjusting means in such throat section.
The present invention relates to gas scrubbing apparatus and more particularly to improved gas scrubbing apparatus of venturi shape utilized to remove finely divided suspended matter from dirty waste gases.
The utilization of venturi-sh'aped gas scrubbers for removing fine dusts and for eliminating noxious smoke particles, fogs, and fumes discharged by industrial processes has long been known in the art. In a number of industrial processes where venturi-shaped gas scrubbers are employed there are frequent and considerable variations in the amounts of dust-laden gases introduced into the scrubbers. For example, in the oxygen process of making steel, the volumes of dirty gas emitted in the process increase substantially during oxygen lancing operations. To accommodate for the fluctuating gas volumes delivered to a scrubber and the concomitant variations in scrubber and blower efficiencies, some attempts have been made in the past to provide arrangements which maintain uniform gas velocities. For the most part, these past arrangements have not proven satisfactory. The apparatus employed has been complex, cumbersome, and uneconomical, requiring frequent adjustments of an over-all system and creating alignment and gas resistance problems with each incremental change made to such system. straightforward structural arrangement which permits ad- The present invention provides an economical and straightforward structural arrangement which permits adjustments to be made quickly and efiiciently to obtain uniform gas velocities in a venturi-shaped scrubber in accordance with changing gas volumes delivered thereto. In addition, the present invention provides a structural arrangement which permits adjustments to be accomplished in a symmetrical fashion with a minimum of geometrical contour change to the over-all structure and with a mini mum of operating steps and movement of parts.
Various other features of the present invention will become obvious to one skilled in the art upon reading the disclosure set forth hereinafter.
More particularly, the present invention provides gas scrubbing apparatus comprising: a venturi-shaped gas defining passage including a contraction section, an intermediate throat section, and an expansion section; means for introducing washing liquid into the gas defining passage upstream the throat section; adjusting means to vary the cross-sectional area of the throat section independently of the upstream contraction section and the downstream expansion section, the adjusting means including a pair of spaced, relatively movable dampers with spaced opposed faces thereof defining the throat section; and means to move the dampers relative each other to vary the cross-sectional area of such throat section.
"ice
It is to be understood that various changes can be made in the airangement, form and construction of the apparatus disclosed hereinafter without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention.
Referring to the drawing which discloses one advantageous embodiment of the present invention:
FIGURE 1 is an isometric view of a gas scrubbing apparatus incorporating the novel features of the present invention; and
FIGURE 2 is a vertical, cross-sectional view taken in the plane passing through line 22 of FIGURE 1, this figure further disclosing the manner in which the apparatus of FIGURE 1 is incorporated into duct Work connected to a source of dirty gas from an industrial process (not shown).
Referring to the drawing, the gas stream to be scrubbed of finely suspended contaminant matter is conducted from a process source (not shown) by duct 1 to the novel venturi-shaped gas scrubbing apparatus, broadly desig nated by reference numeral 2.
Gas scrubbing apparatus 2, which advantageously is of varying cross-sectional area of rectangular configuration, includes upstream converging contraction section 3, intermediate throat section 4, and downstream diverging expansion section 6. The upstream converging contraction section 3 can be connected to duct 1 by bolting or by some other suitable means. In similar fashion, downstream diverging expansion section 6 can be connected to an outlet duct 7. It is to be noted that outlet duct 7 also can be diverging, the amount and extent of divergence in both the contraction and expansion sections depending upon the nature of the installation and the results desired.
Positioned intermediate upstream contraction section 3 and downstream expansion section 6 adjacent throat section 4 so as to be equally spaced from a plane passing through the central longitudinal axis of flow of the gas scrubber is a pair of damper boxes 8. Pivotally mounted within damper boxes 8 to nest therein when in full or open position is a pair of spaced dampers 9. Dampers 9 are so contoured that the spaced, opposed mirror-image faces thereof are successively inwardly and outwardly inclined about the central longitudinal passage of the scrubber to provide successive upstream converging and downstream diverging passages 11 and 12 respectively. It is to be noted that the inclination of the faces of the dampers is such that when the dampers are in full or open position, the upstream faces of the passage 11 are substantially aligned with opposed walls of the converging contraction section 3, and the downstream faces of passages 12 are substantially aligned with opposed Walls of diverging expansion section 6.
To pivot dampers 9 into various positions in a symmetrical fashion about a plane extending through the central longitudinal axis of the scrubber 2, each damper is fixed to a shaft 13 which, in turn, is rotatably journaled in the sidewalls of damper box 8. Each shaft 13 extends through a sidewall of its damper box and has fixed to its extended end a worm wheel 14. Worm wheels 14 are designed to mesh with worms 16 mounted at the extremities of driven shaft 17. Shaft 17 can be rotated through a suitable worm and gear arrangement 18 by means of drive shaft 19 connected to a suitable source of power (not shown). It is to be noted that one of shafts 13 is provided with a suitable pointer 21, pointer 21 cooperating with plate 22 mounted on a sidewall of scrubber 2. Plate 22 is provided with a graduated scale thereon so that the position of the pointer relative the scale indicates the positioning of the dampers 9 in the scrubber apparatus.
Positioned in mirror-image fashion immediately above dampers 9 in extended relationship from the walls of damper boxes 8 is a pair of spaced, inclined liquid baffles 26, each liquid bafille 26 having a discharge nozzle 24 located thereabove to cooperate therewith. Discharge nozzles 24, which extend through damper boxes 8, are connected to a suitable source of liquid (not shown) and can be controlled in any one of a number of ways to adjust the amount of liquid delivered to the system in accordance with the amount of gas treated. In addition to nozzles 24 aforedescribed, a further pair of nozzles 28 are provided to cooperate with each of damper boxes 8 to flush the dampers 9 whenever necessary to maintain the dampers in efficient operating condition.
From the above description, it can be seen that a straightforward and efficient gas washing apparatus is provided wherein the velocity of the gases passing through the gas scrubber can be adjusted to compensate for changes in the rate of gas fiow entering into the system without gas cleaning interruptions and without major changes in the over-all system.
