WET SCRUBBER AND PAINT SPRAY BOOTH INCLUDING THE WET SCRUBBER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000000294
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A wet scrubber (1) including an acceleration cone (2) for accelerating an airflow containing paint particles and having a curved inner wall on which water used for capturing paint particles flows downwardly, a mixing chamber (3) for mixing the airflow and water and provided with an impingement pool (30) on which the airflow impacts, a vortex chamber (4) for creating a swirling flow of air and water that further aids the capture of paint particles, and a discharge volute (6) communicating with the vortex chamber and provided with an enlarged discharge port for discharging the air and water. The wet scrubber is used in a paint spray booth, and provides the advantages of reduction in both energy consumption and noise and improvement in the efficiency of the capturing of paint particles.
