Apparatus for the disposal of flue gas from gas or liquid-fuel boiler-burner groups

Claim 1

An apparatus for the disposal of flue gas from a gas or liquid-fuel boiler-burner group, the said apparatus comprising at least one processing unit which has a first compartment arranged to receive at the upper end thereof flue gas from the boiler-burner group and is provided at the top thereof with a nozzle or nozzles designed to eject water in the said first compartment to scrub, cool and carry away the said flue gas therein, a second compartment arranged to receive at the lower end thereof scrubbed gases released from the said first compartment to further treat them while flowing upwardly along it and includes a nozzle or nozzles at the upper end thereof arranged to eject water there-in to further scrub, cool and purify the said scrubbed flue gas countercurrently flowing upwardly along it, an exhaust duct or opening for the treated flue gas, a fresh water supply system, a scrubbing column, and a water ejecting nozzle or nozzles disposed at the top of the column and in fluid communication with the fresh water supply system to further scrub and cool the said purified gases issuing from the said second compartment, a collecting unit disposed underneath the said processing unit to receive scrubbing water and scrubbed flue gases directly from it and to direct the said scrubbed flue gases into the said second compartment, and a recycling and filtering system arranged to filter the scrubbing water released from the said collecting unit and to recycle it to the said nozzle or nozzles in the said processing unit.

Claim 2

An apparatus for the disposal of flue gas from a gas or liquid-fuel boiler-burner group, the said apparatus comprising at least one processing unit which has a first compartment arranged to receive at the upper end thereof flue gas from the boiler-burner group and is provided at the top thereof with a nozzle or nozzles designed to eject water in the said first compartment to scrub, cool and carry away the said flue gas therein, a second compartment arranged to receive at the lower end thereof scrubbed gases released from the said first compartment to further treat them while flowing upwardly along it and includes a nozzle or nozzles at the upper end thereof arranged to eject water there-in to further scrub, cool and purify the said scrubbed flue gas countercurrently flowing upwardly along it, an exhaust duct or opening for the treated flue gas, a fresh water supply system, a scrubbing column, and a water ejecting nozzle or nozzles disposed at the top of the column and in fluid communication with the fresh water supply system to further scrub and cool the said purified gases issuing from the said second compartment, a collecting unit disposed underneath the said processing unit to receive scrubbing water and scrubbed flue gases directly from it and to direct the said scrubbed flue gases into the said second compartment, and a recycling and filtering system arranged to filter the scrubbing water released from the said collecting unit and to recycle it to the said nozzle or nozzles in the said processing unit.

Claim 3

An apparatus for the disposal of flue gas from a gas or liquid-fuel boiler-burner group, the said apparatus comprising at least one processing unit which has a first compartment arranged to receive at the upper end thereof flue gas from the boiler-burner group and an evaporator of a refrigerating circut for cooling the flue gas and scrubbing water and is provided at the top thereof with a nozzle or nozzles designed to eject water in the said first compartment to scrub, cool and carry away the said flue gas therein, a second compartment arranged to receive at the lower end thereof scrubbed gases released from the said first compartment to further treat them while flowing upwardly along it and provid ed and exhaust duct or opening for the treated flue gas, a collecting unit disposed underneath the said processing unit to receive scrubbing water and scrubbed flue gases into the said second compartment, and a recycling and filtering system arranged to filter the scrubbing water released from the said collecting unit and to recycle it to the said nozzle or nozzles in the said processing unit.

Claim 4

An apparatus for the disposal of flue gas from a gas or liquid-fuel boiler-burner group, the said apparatus comprising at least one processing unit which has a first compartment arranged to receive at the upper end thereof flue gas from the boiler-burner group and an evaporator of a refrigerating circut for cooling the flue gas and scrubbing water and is provided at the top thereof with a nozzle or nozzles designed to eject water in the said first compartment to scrub, cool and carry away the said flue gas therein, a second compartment arranged to receive at the lower end thereof scrubbed gases released from the said first compartment to further treat them while flowing upwardly along it and provid ed and exhaust duct or opening for the treated flue gas, a collecting unit disposed underneath the said processing unit to receive scrubbing water and scrubbed flue gases into the said second compartment, and a recycling and filtering system arranged to filter the scrubbing water released from the said collecting unit and to recycle it to the said nozzle or nozzles in the said processing unit.
