An engine exhaust gas dust-removal system and method. The engine exhaust gas dust-removal system comprises an exhaust gas dust-removal system inlet, an exhaust gas dust-removal system outlet, and an exhaust gas electric field device The engine exhaust gas dust-removal system has a better dust-removal effect, and can effectively remove particulate matters in engine exhaust gas.

A dust removal apparatus includes: a collecting portion configured to collect gas existing inside a work room configured to separate a space inside the work room from a space outside the work room in a state where the gas is not circulable; and a compression portion configured to compress the gas collected by the collecting portion. Further, the dust removal apparatus includes: a jetting portion configured to jet out the gas compressed by the compression portion, the jetting portion being provided in the space outside the work room; and an ionizer portion configured to mix ions into the gas to be jetted out of the jetting portion when a voltage is applied to the ionizer portion, the ionizer portion being provided between the compression portion and the jetting portion.

Provided are purification systems and methods of using such systems for purifying various environments, such as indoor air, outdoor air, vehicle emissions, and industrial emissions. A purification system comprises an ionizing purifier having a substrate and an active coating. The active coating comprises a pyroelectric and/or piezoelectric material. During the operation, an incoming stream is directed toward the active coating while controlling the average pressure exerting on the active coating. This contact between the incoming stream and the active coating generates negative ions from components of the incoming stream via change in temperature and pressure/force/vibration, etc. The negative ions then interact with pollutants, transforming them into safe, purified materials of the outgoing stream. Unlike the pollutants in the incoming stream, the purified materials are non-harmful, and/or can be easily removed from the outgoing stream, e.g., by filtering and/or other separation techniques.

A position detection unit for detecting a position of an actuating element, disposed within a housing of a clutch actuator of a vehicle clutch, including: a magnetic encoder element in the housing of the clutch actuator on the actuating element, a sensor outside the housing of the clutch actuator and is configured so that it has a detection space within which the sensor can detect a position of the magnetic encoder element within a predefined range of motion of the magnetic encoder element, and a protective device to prevent ferritic filings attracted by the magnetic encoder element from being deposited within the detection space. Also described is a related clutch actuator.

A system for reducing dust emissions resulting from tire abrasion, comprising a collecting unit (1), arranged at a distance from the tread (4) of a tire (5) and has at least one first electromagnet and/or permanent magnet (2). At least the material with which the tread (4) of the tire (5) is formed is magnetic or is ferromagnetically, ferrimagnetically or anti-ferromagnetically magnetisable, so that the tire abrasion particles (6) created as a result of abrasion of the tread (4) are magnetic or are ferromagnetically, ferrimagnetically or anti-ferromagnetically magnetisable. The at least one first electromagnet and/or permanent magnet (2) is designed to magnetise tire abrasion particles (6) and to accumulate the magnetized tire abrasion particles (6) detached from the material of the tread (4) in a collection point (3), arranged on a vehicle.

A waste management system, primarily intended to be for waste floating in water, though it can also be used on land. A shredding device will reduce the size of the particles of waste. Ocean water is removed by a drying device. The dried waste material is cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen or other suitable means. The frozen waste material is then pulverized and ground into a powder. The powder may then be sprayed into a gas-filled chamber and heated. Temperature, pressure and humidity are maintained within the chamber for more than one minute. Microwave or other radiation and catalysts may be used to enhance the process of extraction. The processed material is then removed from the chamber. Carbon and water may be recycled. The carbon may be used as fuel by the ship. Water may also be used by the ship or returned to the ocean in a non-toxic condition.

Provided is an ion generating apparatus, including a housing and an ion generating unit. A waterproof part is provided below an air outlet. The waterproof part includes a discharge port penetrating the waterproof part and in communication with an inside of the housing, and a guide part having a receiving space for receiving a liquid flowing in from the air outlet and guiding the liquid to the discharge port while bypassing an ion exhaust port. By providing the waterproof part below the air outlet to receive the liquid flowing in from the air outlet, the ion generating apparatus may not only prevent the liquid from entering the ion generating unit through the ion exhaust port to affect an ion generation, but also allow a liquid entering the inside of the housing to flow out of the housing along a path that does not come into contact with an electrical component.

An electrification apparatus is used for electric dust collection in an air conditioner for a vehicle. The electrification apparatus includes a frame, a conductive microfiber, and a conductive plate. The frame includes a main body frame in which the conductive plate is installed and an installation frame that defines a fixing groove in which the conductive microfiber is installed. The electrification apparatus further includes a rubber coupled with the conductive microfiber and inserted into the fixing groove.

An electrification apparatus perform a method for electric dust collection. The electrification apparatus includes a frame, a conductive microfiber, a conductive plate, and a ground connector disposed between the conductive microfiber and the conductive plate. The ground connector is configured to be insulated based on a high voltage being applied to the conductive microfiber and to be connected to a ground electrode based on the high voltage being blocked to the conductive microfiber.

An exhaust treatment system includes an exhaust dust removal system and an exhaust ozone purification system. The exhaust dust removal system has a dust removal system inlet, a dust removal system outlet, and an electric field device (1021). The exhaust ozone purification system includes a reaction field (202) for mixing an ozone stream with an exhaust stream for a reaction. The exhaust treatment system is able to effectively remove particulate matters from the exhaust, improving the purifying treatment effect on the exhaust.
