The
MELBOURNE HYDRO-SHEAR SCRUBBER is a liquid activated device
for scrubbing dust and vapours from air prior to air being discharged
to atmosphere. The unit generates vacuum and air flow, is full
bore and inline.
The Melbourne Hydro-Shear Scrubber will also operate using salt
or grey water, assisting greatly in water conservation.

How
It Works (see diagram below)
Fluid under pressure is diverted externally through pipes as
shown and supplied through three tangential ports. Fluid is fed
into the manifold where it exists into the scrubber main chamber
via a ring of holes drilled at different compound angles to the
bore at port 'A'. This forms a clockwise vortex.
At the same time fluid under pressure is fed into a manifold where
it exists into the scrubber main chamber via a ring of holes drilled
at different compound angles to the bore at port 'B'. This
forms an anti-clockwise vortex.
At the same time this is repeated at port 'C'. this forms
a clockwise vortex.
The forward velocity of the air in the HYDRO-SHEAR SCRUBBER
is greater than the water velocity, and the contaminated air goes
through two hydro-shear zones.The area after the third nozzle is
a fine mist.
Fluids recycled from settling ponds. |
