Abstract
An air cleaner of the oil-bath type, in which dust-laden air at high velocity in an entry stream is first mixed with an oil spray and then impinged on an oil bath and deflected outwardly and upwardly through a filter bed to wet the filter bed with oil for catching dust carried by the air, surplus oil being drawn by venturi action from the filter bed and sprayed back into the entry stream for recirculation into the oil bath and into the filter bed, constantly washing the lower end of the filter bed and other parts so as to prevent clogging by the accumulation of dust.
