Abstract
A scrubber device for removing finely divided contaminants from a gas stream is disclosed. The device comprises first and second conduits each of which has an inlet and an outlet with nozzle means and flow guide means disposed adjacent the end of each outlet. The nozzles are configured such that the flow path of the discharge of the first conduit intersects the flow path of the discharge of the second conduit. The flow guide means are configured so as to regulate the flow path of the gas stream through each conduit such that a collision zone is created thereinbetween. Further, the flow guides act so as to improve the collection efficiency of the scrubber. In this manner, contaminants in each respective stream are caused to be removed by inertial impaction. By the use of the scrubber device of the present invention, even finely divided contaminants in the order of 0.1 microns diameter to 3 microns diameter can be removed.
