Abstract

Abstract An oily smoke purifying apparatus of central processing system type comprising an upright housing on the inside bottom of which is provided a water tank equipped with a water pump that is connected to a multitude of branch pipes capable of spraying a screen of water so that the space between these pipes and a slant catch plate located under the pipes forms a cooling chamber. As oily smoke is drawn into the cooling chamber by the fans located in the upper portion of the housing, oil and steam are separated; the oily mud dropping into the water tank and then being collected in the waste oil tank, the steam being exhausted via the upper portion of the housing after being multiply filtered.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 257 words
An oily smoke purifying apparatus of central processing system type including: a water tank provided on the inside bottom of the housing which is filled with water of an appropriate level; a water pump installed in said water tank; a conveyor equipped with many projecting blade wipers installed along the water surface; an inclined catch plate fixed above the conveyor; a conduit extending to the outside and connecting said water pump to several branch pipes which extend into the housing from the outside and spray a water screen in the housing, forming a cooling chamber between the branch pipes and the inclined catch plate so that the smoke intake is located on the side wall of the cooling chamber; a moisture separation plate, a plastic fiber layer, a coke layer and an active carbon layer provided in the portion of the housing above the branch pipes in an upward sequence; an ultraviolet light tube mounted over the active carbon layer; a fan set and a motor installed above the ultraviolet light tube in the upper portion of the housing where is connected to the outlet on the top of the housing and which fan set is driven by the motor; and characterized in that said fan set draws oily smoke to the cooling chamber where steam and oil are separated; greasy mud falling to the water surface beneath and being collected to the waste oil tank in a corner of the housing, steam passing through the upper portion of the housing and being exhausted to the outside.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 257 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
An oily smoke purifying apparatus of central processing system type as claimed in claim 1, wherein between the inclined catch plate and a portion of the inside wall of the housing is formed an opening through which the greasy mud along the slope of the catch plate flows to the water tank.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 55 words
An oily smoke purifying apparatus of central processing system type as claimed in claim 1, wherein in the upper portion of one side of the waste oil tank is provided an upswept bent plate able to collect the greasy mud in the waste oil tank, in cooperation with the projecting blade wipers of the conveyor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 34 words
An oily smoke purifying apparatus of central processing system type as claimed in claim 1, wherein the moisture separation plate is installed in an inclined and bent way for effectively guiding condensed water falling.
