Description

Air venting system
Field of the invention s
The invention relates to an air venting system for absorbing odors emanating from a waste treatment plant, installation, system, or from a conduit used for conveying waste materials
lo The prior art
l he use of a filecring system associated with an air inlet or air outlet has already been proposed.
For example, DE 196 23 053 discloses a filtration system of the gases emitted by a waste disposal unit. The filtration system has a filter unit for the prevention of odor nuisance from the waste disposal unit. The filter unit comprises a loose or packed ballast, such as activated charcoal, said loose or packed ballast being placed in a tube with outer wall presenting apertures and with a bottom plate forming a rest for the ballast. The air flow in this system is only upwards.
In the United States and Canada, a product known as << 0dorhog >> rM is marketed as septic vent pipe filter for preventing problems due to odors from septic tanks.
The filtering system comprises a tube in which the charcoal filter is placed. The 2s air flow in the OdorHog device is only upwards.
The major problems of all the filtering system of the prior art are efficiency, clogging and airflow restriction. In the filtering system of the prior art, it is necessary to use charcoal filter with a quite high Icngth, whereby causing an important venting restriction and whereby many gases will be kept in the waste water drainage system. This could then cause odors to escape via any other venting systems, leaks in the plumbing system, and even possibly when using the toilets.
The present invention has for aim a compact filtering system which is efficient while having a reduced air flow restriction. These results have been achieved by using a system whereby the gas to be filtered flows according to a path comprising an upwards flow portion and a downwards flow portion.

Description of preferred embodiments
Figures I and 2 are views of a first embodiment of an air venting system of the invention.
The air venting system 1 comprises: - a tubular body 2 defined by a cylindrical wall 3 and extending between a bottom end 4 up to a top end 5, - a cover 6 cooperating with the top end 5 of the tubular body 2 to form a l o chamber 7 extending above the top end 5 of the tubular body 2 and associated with a peripheral channel 8 extending outside a portion of the cylindrical wall 3 of the tubular body 2.
The bottom end 4 of the tubular body 2 defines the inlet opening 9, while the peripheral channel 8 is provided with at least one outlet opening 10.
The odor absorbing means 11 is located at least partly in the chamber 7, partly in the peripheral channel 8 and partly in the tubular body 2. The odor absorbing means has the form of a body 11, said body 11 having a circular groove 12 in which the top end 5 of the tubular body 2 is introduced.
The tubular body 2 is provided with a flange 13 showing openings 10, possibly provided with screen, such as metallic screen 14. The flange 13 is provided at its end with a ring 15 provided with means for cooperating with a portion of the cover 6, so as to enable its fixation.
The odor absorbing means 1 1 has an upper face 16 which is spaced from the top inner face of the cover 6, whereby defining a volume 17 in the chamber 7 which is free of odor absorbing means, i.e. a buffer volume. The odor absorbing means 11 has an inlet surface 1 1A and an exhaust surface I I B. whereby the exhaust surface 11B is greater than the inlet surface. The exhaust surface 11B is distant from the flange 13 and the screen 14. In this example the exhaust surface is from about 3 to times greater than the inlet surface.
The cover can be provided with a means for pushing the odor absorbing means towards the cylindrical body 2, such a means 20 being for example a button placed at the center of the inner top face of the cover.
The working of the air venting system of figure I is as follows: The odor emanating from a sewer or waste water containing system are moving lo upwards in the circular body 2, said odor entering into the odor absorbing means 1 1 through the inlet surface I IA. In said odor absorbing means 11, the odor flows first upwardly in the portion of the absorbing body 11 within the circular body 2.
After said absorbing portion, the odor flows partly upwardly towards the volume 17 free of odor absorbing means before flowing back in the portion of the odor absorbing means adjacent to the exhaust surface I IB, and partly transversally into the portion of the odor absorbing means adjacent to the exhaust surface I 1B. The air or gas escaping the odor absorbing means are exhausted via the screen 14.
The top portion of the cylindrical body 2 forms thus a partition wall in the odor absorbing means.
Air can also enter in the circular body 2 from the exterior.
The portion of the odor absorbing body I I within the circular body 2 is in close contact with the inner wall of the body 2 so as to avoid leaks between the odor absorbing body 11 and the inner wall of the circular body 2.
The odor absorbing body 11 can have the form of a cassette which can be replaced when required. The outer edge of the cassette are for example made of a porous skin or layer, such as a flexible skin made of woven material. The body is then for example containing fibers mixed with the active charcoal. The outer skin or layer of the body 11 is advantageously treated or provided with a water repelling agent, such as a fluorosilane.
The thickness E of the body is advantageously at least I Ocm, while the height H of s the portion of the body 11 in the circular body 2 is at least 50% of the thickness of the body 11.
The volume of the odor absorbing body 11 is divided in two portions, namely a central portion defined by the portion defined by the groove 12 and its upwardly lo extension, and a peripheral portion located outside of the central portion, said peripheral portion having advantageously a volume at least equal, preferably greater than the volume of the central portion.
The volume free of odor absorbing means 17 can be used as means for ensuring IS preferably an upwards movement of the gas to be exhausted in the central portion of the odor absorbing means I I, and a good distribution of the flow of gas from the free volume 17 into the peripheral portion of the odor absorbing means I 1.
Possibly the odor absorbing means can be formed by two or more independent parts, which are placed the one near the other in the chamber 7.
The embodiment of figure 3 is similar to the embodiment of figure I, except that the odor absorbing means has a reduced thickness, so that substantially no portion of the odor absorbing means extends in the cylindrical body 2. The odor absorbing 2s body I 1 is provided with an inner cylindrical wall I I W. so as to define in said odor absorbing means a central portion and a peripheral portion. The inner wall I I W is adapted for resting on the top edge of the cylindrical body 2. The inner wall is advantageously provided with a sealing means I I S so as to make a correct sealing between the bottom edge of the inner wall I I W and the top edge of the cylindrical body 2. The inner edge extends for example substantially in all the thickness of the odor absorbing means, so that the gas emanating from a sewer or waste water drainage system flows substantially only from the body 2 into the free volume 17 of the chamber 7 through the central portion of the odor absorbing body, and then from said free volume 17 of the chamber towards the exhaust opening 10 through the peripheral portion of the odor absorbing body 11.
The embodiment of figure 4 is similar to the embodiment of figure 1, except that the chamber 7 intended to contain the odor absorbing means 11 has a specific shape. The chamber 7 is defined between the cover 6 and an extension 2A of the circular body 2. The filtering body 11 comprises four different portions lo I 10,1 1 1,1 12,1 13 intended to be located each in a specific portion of the chamber 7.
The filtering body 11 comprises: - a substantially cylindrical top element 110, said top element bearing on its bottom face the three elements 111,112 and 113, - the element 111 having a substantially 8-shape with a thickness varying between a minimum at its central portion and a maximum at its end adjacent to the exhaust opening 10, - the elements 1 12 and 1 13 being located each in the gap of the 8- shaped element 11 1, said elements 112,113 being separated from the element I 11 by a groove 118 intended to receive a separating wall 120 extending between the inlet opening 125 of the extension 2A and the exhaust opening 10.
Above the filter I 1, a closed volume 17 free of odor absorbing means I I is defined.
The inlet openings 125 are provided with a screen 126 acting as supporting means for the bottom faces of the elements 1 12 and 1 13, while the exhaust openings 10 are provided with a screen 14 acting more as protection means.
The working of the air venting device of figure 4 is as follows: The odor emanating from a sewer or waste water drainage system flows in the pipe 2. When the odor arrives in the extension 2A, the odor flow is split in two distinct flows, namely a first flow flowing in the filtering element 112 and a second flow flowing in the filtering element 113. In said filtering elements 112,1 13, the gas containing odor flows upwardly towards the upper filtering portion 110 and the free volume 17 of the chamber 7. The gas containing possibly some odor after its s upwardly flows in the filtering elements 1 12,1 13, is split, namely a first portion of gas flowing in the left portion of the filtering element 111 before being exhausted via the exhaust opening I OA, and a second portion of gas flowing in the right portion of the filtering element 111 before being exhausted via the exhaust opening 1 OB. In the filtering element 111, the gas flows downwardly and transversally lo towards the exhaust faces 11 lA,I 1 IB, before being exhausted via the exhaust openings I OA, 1 OB.
In this embodiment, the inlet faces 1 1 2A, 1 1 3A of the filtering elements 1 12,1 13 have a total inlet surface corresponding substantially to the sum of the surfaces of the two exhaust faces 1 1 1 A, 1 1 1 B of the filtering element 1 1 1.
Advantageously the element 1 1 1 has two protrusions 1 1 1 C, 1 1 1 D, the top of which being adjacent to the exhaust openings. A bottom face of each protrusion rests on a closed inclined face of the extension 2A. The height H 1 and the length L 1 of a protrusion is higher than the thickness E 1 of the substantially cylindrical top portion 1 10 of the filtering element, so that the gas flows preferably upwardly towards the top free volume 17, before being redistributed and flowing downwardly into the filtering portion 111, more specifically in the protruding portions 11 lC,I 1 ID.
According to possible embodiment, the filtering body 11 is not provided with the portion I I I or with the portions 1 12,1 13. lo
