AIR TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452288 titled 'AIR TREATMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an air treatment apparatus that includes a heat exchanger and a dust collector. The dust collector is positioned before the heat exchanger and collects substances present in the air. The dust collector either has a surface where water flows or a surface where water is retained.
- The air treatment apparatus includes a heat exchanger and a dust collector.
- The heat exchanger exchanges heat between a fluid and air.
- The dust collector is located upstream of the heat exchanger in the air flow.
- The dust collector collects substances present in the air.
- The dust collector has a surface where water flows or is retained.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Air purification systems for residential or commercial buildings.
- HVAC systems to improve air quality.
- Industrial air treatment systems for factories or manufacturing facilities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Removes substances and particles from the air, improving air quality.
- Prevents these substances from reaching the heat exchanger, reducing potential damage or clogging.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhances the efficiency and lifespan of the heat exchanger.
- Improves the overall air quality in the treated environment.
- Reduces maintenance and cleaning requirements for the heat exchanger.
Original Abstract Submitted
An air treatment apparatus includes: a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between a fluid flowing through a first flow path and air flowing through a second flow path; and a first dust collector disposed upstream of the heat exchanger in a flow of the air and that collects a substance contained in the air flowing to the heat exchanger. The first dust collector has: a surface over which water flows, or a surface on which water is retained.
