GAS WASHER FOR VERTICAL MOUNTING

 

The air exhausted from the exhauster hoods will enter the Gas Washer, will pass through a flow rectifier located at the entrance which will distribute it through the inside of the body where a series of special pulverizing nozzles directed against the air flow, inject water under high pressure, guaranteeing high atomization and coverage of all the internal perimeter of the body of the Gas Washer, thus capturing all the particles which are collected in a tank where the water is re-circulated after passing through a filter.  After passing through high efficiency droplet eliminators  the air, already free of polluting elements, and pushed by the exhauster, can be discharged through the outlet and directly into the outside atmosphere.

The water circulation tank shall have a drain for its cleaning and a siphon system for the polluting particles which will be conducted to a coupled grease trap, causing the solid and floating effluents to concentrate and allow manual cleaning with no need to stop the Gas Washer and, consequently, the mechanical exhaust system.

The Gas Washer shall optionally have a point for a Device of automatic addition of  non-foaming,  biodegradable grease detergent.

It should also have an automatic system for the programming of the cycles for heating the tank water to dissolve the solid elements and provide clearing of the pulverizing nozzles and internal piping.  This system should have a programmable timer and a thermostat for control of the cycles and heating temperature, with a view to the economy of electric energy.  All the components of this system should be armored and appropriate for the safety of the operators against shocks. The timer and thermostat should have visible and adjustable scales to satisfy the specific needs of each exhaust system. .

The air speed inside the body of the Gas Washer should not be higher than 3.5 m/s, guaranteeing a maximum loss of 5% of water by drag or evaporation.  

All the internal components of the Gas Washer should be metallic in compliance with the ABNT Technical Standard 14.518 for the prevention of fires and to avoid its propagation, which implies the total absence of any plastic materials in the exhaust air flow inside the Gas Washer.

The body and all the internal components of the Gas Washer should be built with totally welded galvanized steel plates with minimum gage  # 18 covered with two coats of paint for external finishing and two coats of high grade galvanized paint for internal protection on all the surfaces.

The water circulation pump should have outflow and pressure compatible with the pulverizing nozzles with rotor and mechanical seal in bronze, which should be connected to the piping by joints having brass screen suction filters easily removable for cleaning.

The Gas Washer should have at least two manhole covers for internal cleaning  and at least six interchangeable positions for air inlet and outlet, permitting perfect adaptation to the pipes and to the assembly location.   A glass window for inspection of the pulverizing nozzles should be provided on one of the sides. 

All the electric components of the Gas Washer should be supplied so as to permit perfect adaptation to the electric supply systems of the benefited property.
