AIR-CLEANING DEVICE.
Application filed. September 2, 1921.
Z '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES P. QUAM, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Cleaning Devices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to centrifugal separators having many different industrial applications but the device as here illustrated is intended particularly for the work of insuring a clean air supply to an internal combustion engine. It is well known that the dirt entering the carburetor and. cylinders 2f the engine of a tractor has a ruinous efect. to the neglect of providing suficient water for the ordinary air washer with which tractors are commonly equipped or in some cases, as with most road vehicles, due to the entire absence of any means for separating the dust from .the air.
The aim of the present invention is to overcome defects of operation of centrifugal separators, and the costly construction of air washing devices now commonly in use. Centrifugal separators as heretofore constructed are not sufliciently eflicient for the work of removing almost impalpable dust from air as can be done by the' present device, and air washing devices, 'as a rule,
are comparatively expensive, are subject to. freezlng, interfere with the desired operation of the engine, and must be frequently filled-With water or if this is neg-v lected, as is frequently the case, the engine is very much damaged if not practically ruined because of the entrance of dirt in the cylinders, not only resulting in so-called objectionable carbon deposit on the cylinder walls but causing excessive wear.
The objects of the present invention were .to a great extent obtained by a centrifugal separator disclosed in applicants co-pending patent, Serial No. 414,700, filed October 4th, 1920, but the present invention differs from the prior one mainly in that the prior device was designed to sepa- The dirt is drawn into the engine due Serial No. 497,873.
through the device to the carburetor of the engine, whereas in the present case the 'dust is not collected but merely -thrown outside of the engine so as to avoid the bother of requiring any inspection or emptying of the dust receptacle. The present device also avoids the necessity of attaining an ultimate complete separation of the dirt from the air but by centrifugal action divides all of the incoming air into inner and outer strata, the outer stratum containing the dust and being delivered outside of the engine while the inner stratum is pureand is permitted to enter the carburetor.
element which subjects the air passing through the casing to centrifugal action, a portion of the air containingthe solid particles being caused to pass out through 'a suitable outlet to theatmosphere and the cleansed air being extracted from the casing through another outlet which is connected with the aforesaid suction device. Theinvention is particularly suitable for attachment to the carburetor of an internal combustion engine and especially where such engines are in service where a considerable amount of dust-would otherwise be drawn through the carburetor and injected into the engine cylinders.
In the specific embodiment hereinillustrated, the device comprises a casing-1"ar-. ranged upon the end of a conduit 2 and a rotor 3 adapted to be driven by a propeller 4 for the purpose of subjecting the air pass:
ing through the casing to centrifugal action.
The casing 1 is of cylindrical shape, open at both ends so as to'provide an inlet 5 and an outlet 6, one end of the casing being arched inwardly toward the inlet 5. A coarse mesh wire guard 7 extends across the inlet 5 for safety and to prevent anything from entering the opening which might cause damage to the device.
The conduit 2 extends inwardly from the to a narrow annular ring-like opening and at the same time provide a separatingchamber 10 between the partition and the rotor 3 surrounding the open end 8 of said conduit. The opposite end of the conduit 2 is suitably arranged for connection to the inlet of the suction device such as a carburetor.
The rotor 3 comprises a frusto-conical member 11 having vanes 12 arranged upon the exterior thereofand journaled upon the shaft 13, and provided with a propeller 4 by which said rotor is driven.
The Y frusto-conical member 11 is arranged so that it coacts with the arched end of the casing 1 to provide an inwardly tapering passage 15 leading from the inlet 5 to the chamber 10 so that said passage has the effect of a nozzle upon the air as it is caused to move centrifugally inwardly toward the chamber 10. The vanes 12 conform, more or less, to the shape of the passage 15 and are rigidly secured in a suitable manner upon the member 11.
The rotatable unit comprising the rotor 4, frusto-conical member 11 with vanes 12 is supported by a ball 17 between the upper end of the fixed vertical spindle or shaft 13 and a cap 18 in threaded engagement with a sleeve 19 surrounding the spindle and rigid with the rotatable unit. The supporting spindle 13 projects upwardly from a spider 20 formed in the upper end 8 of the conduit 2 and therefore serves not only to support the rotatable unit, but as a guide bearing to prevent vibration or said unit.
The propeller 4 comprises a plurality of blades rigidly secured to the lower end of a fitting 21 secured to the member 11. These blades are shaped so that the air drawn through the device causes a rotationof the member 11.
The operation of the device herein shown and described is substantially as follows The passage of air through the casing 1 caused by suction means attached to the conduit 2, reacts on the propeller 4 so as to rotate the rotor 3. This results in a greater passage of air through the inlet 5 than through conduit 2. The air is moved centrifugally and axially inwardly through the passage 15, the velocity thereof increasing as it approaches the more restricted inner part of the passage. By virtue of the cen-' trifugal action, the particles of dust, dirt,
asses etc., are of course thrown outwardly against the inner periphery of the casing 1. As the air leaves the passage 15 and enters the enlarged chamber 10, it attains its maximum velocity and pressure as crowded by the vanes 12 and its projected downwardly toward the restricted outlet 6 but the inner pure stratum of -air is drawn or curled inwardly and upwardly to the open end 8 of the conduit 2 and out/through the conduit by the suction of the engine. The outer stratum of air within the chamber 10 which contains the dust, dirt and other particles is forced downwardly and out through the restricted outlet 6 by the continuously incoming air. Any particles of dust or dirt that fall upon the frusto-conical partition 9, are of course caused to move down and out through the opening 6.
The dust laden air moves through the opening 6 with suflicient velocity to preclude the possibility of any of this air being drawn inwardly by the action of the suction device or engine connected to the conduit 2. The discharge of the dust, dirt and unclean air through the restricted outlet 6 to the atmosphere obviates the necessity of having a receptacle which requires more or less attention in seeing that it is frequently emptied and also obviates the possibility of the device not functioning to properly clean the air as is often the case when devices using receptacles do not have such receptacles frequently emptied or become broken and inasmuch as separation of dust from air is not wholly relied upon in the present device but merely the exclusion of dust containing air is insured, the action is rapid and nearly" from other centrifugal separators not only,
by the decided increase in annular velocity at which it compels the air to travel, over its initial entering speed, but by delivering the dust laden air inja jet with suflicient momentum to permit the use of an outlet to the atmosphere and preclude the entrance of air at this outlet.
Although but one specific embodiment of this invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that numerous details of the construction shown may be altered or omitted without departing from the spirit of this invention alsdefined by the following claims.
