Improved carbon dioxide gas separation device that incorporates airflow

Abstract

The electrochemical-based carbon dioxide gas separation system includes an energy tower containing an internal vertical duct having an upper inlet open to the outside air at the top of the energy tower and one or more air outlets at the bottom of the energy tower. A spray system is mounted adjacent to the upper inlet and sprays water droplets onto the air entering the internal vertical duct, causing the air and the water droplets mixed with the air to be cooled and denser than the outside air, thereby creating a downdraft of humidified airflow within the duct. The humidified airflow flows from one or more air outlets through one or more electrochemical-based carbon dioxide gas separation units.

Claims
