Solar Chimney Driven Air Purifier System (Scdaps)

Abstract: Effective approaches to abatement of air pollution are required in the context of the world-wide growth of particulate matter emissions from mobile and stationary sources such as transportation and industrial processing for energy conversion and extraction of natural resources. Many large urban areas experience unacceptably high local concentration of particulates, resulting in health hazards and lower living standards. The Solar Chimney Driven Air Purifier System (SCDAPS) is proposed for air pollution abatement. The idea of creating an air draft by solar heating is implemented in solar chimney power plants. technology for power generation, we propose the system consists of a large-scale inclined solar collector, a novel chimney, and a filter bank. Motivated by the developments of the solar chimney SCDAPS is proposed. In the basic configuration, an air flow is driven exclusively by buoyancy generated in the collector–chimney system, and PM 2.5 and larger particulate matter is separated from the air in the filter bank. The system allows the air inside the collector to get heated under the sunlight. Due to natural convection, the hot air risen upwards and rotates the turbine. Because of the action of turbine rotation high pressure energy is generated. The high-pressure air moves through the chimney in which series of air filters are placed at distinct locations circumferentially. The first of its kind system aims at generating power as well remove the particulates from air. This novel device will be highly beneficial to reduce the air pollution in particularly in highly denser industrial areas.

Specification

Claims:A solar chimney positioning comprises of:
1. A solar Collector 1 made of transparent cover allows the sunlight to penetrate. The warm air under the collector risen up due to buoyancy effect.
2. A chimney comprises of Lower updraft 2 section enhances the velocity of the hot air due to area contraction.
3. A turbine 4 place at the verge of the lower updraft section rotates; and the rotational energy can be converted to generate the electricity using suitable alternator.
4. The upper updraft 3 section of the chimney extends straight and open to the atmosphere.
5. The fabric filters 5,7,8 is introduced at equal distance in the upper updraft of the chimney for the purification of the air.
6. The purification of particulate matter in air can be measured using air quality indicator 9.
, Description:1. Field of Invention:

This invention is associated with
i) the positioning of the Solar chimney. The typical positioning of the solar chimney includes a wind turbine which is being energized in response to the updraft of hot air in the chimney.
ii) Removing the Particulate matters in the air.

2. Description of Related Art:

In the familiar form of Solar chimney, the air is solar-heated under the glass roof of the collector. In order to obtain a sufficient heated air to get a suitable commercial generation of electricity with the operation of the wind turbine. The larger the Collector the more area is occupied with increase in Cost and Hardening in maintaining.
One of the French Patent - 2436268 describes that having a solar chimney with a solar panel on its base for the formation of the air-heating chamber.
The basic principle of the invention is to generate an efficient amount of electricity by creating a temperature difference from the base of the Solar updraft to the top of the updraft. This will generate an upward air flow, since the density of cold air is higher when compared to the density of the hot air. The process will be helped by the turbine placed in the lower part of the chimney which will produce energy from the up-going air. By placing a particulate filter on the upper position to the chimney, the air leaving to the environment is getting purified to certain level which is measured. The particulate filter used is replaceable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
The solar updraft consists of Collector, Turbine, Lower Updraft, Upper Updraft, and Particulate Filter’s. The Glass roof collector heats the air which travels to the lower updraft with and gets interacted with the turbine placed, producing the Electricity enough with respect to the commercial uses. The electricity produced is later sent to the electric grid. Then the heated air is passed to the upper updraft where the particulate filter is placed. When air is passed to it, some particle that are present in the air get trapped to the filter and the purified air is passed with various fitters, to assure the certain amount of impurity is remove by the process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
A solar chimney comprises of Chimney 2,3 which receives heated-air from collector 1. The air moves upward due to the variation in the temperature and pressure between the base and to the chimney 2. The larger the variation in the temperature and pressure, the faster the heated air moves upward to the chimney 2. An turbine is placed on the center between the upper updraft chimney 3 and to the lower updraft chimney 2, which is driven by the heated air moving outside of the chimney 3. The heated-air passes from lower updraft chimney 2 to upper updraft chimney 3 which contains three particulate filters 5,6,7. From which the air passes one by one ensuring that the out-going air is purified at some distinct.
The collector 1 is made up of Glass roof on a large area, for varying the temperature of the air so that the air passes fluently with some velocity as explained in the fig.1
For the 24 hours works the collector 1 will have a water bed which will store the heated water and will be stored which will be emitted in the night time thus varying the air temperature even in the night time. The electricity produced is later stored in the electric grid. The Process involved in the design is clearly depicted in Fig.2.
The invention is designed by noticing the condition of the recent pandemic situation, where the air pollution is major causes seen in various cities in India. The pure air will reduce the impact of the pollutants on the Human bodies.
