AIR REGENERATION FOR TUNNELS

REFERENCE IS MADE TO EARLIER RESEARCH CONCERNING THE DEPURATION OF GASES, FUMES AND VAPOURS IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES AS WELL AS THE NEED FOR MORE AIR CHANGES IN A TUNNEL. A UNIT FOR THE REGENERATION OF VITIATED AIR, KNOWN AS THE NEUTRIT 5000-CO-3, MANUFACTURED BY NEUTROTECNICA ITALIANA S.R.L., MILAN IS DESCRIBED. THE UNIT IS AVAILABLE IN TWO MODELS, A CO-LOW RATE MODEL WITHOUT A CO THERMICAL CONVERTER AND A CO- HIGH RATE MODEL WITH A CONVERTER. BOTH ENSURE THE TOTAL ELIMINATION OF DUST, EVEN IN COLLOIDAL FORM, UNBURNT SUBSTANCES, ASHES, CARBONDIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, SULFUR TRIOXIDE, AS WELL AS OF ANY OTHER SOLID OR GASEOUS POLLUTING SUBSTANCES DRAWN INTO THE INTAKE. THE TWO-SECTION PLANT HAS A CAPACITY OF 5000 CU M/H AND THE THREE-SECTION PLANT 6000 CU M/H, AT A GUARANTEED EFFICIENCY OF PURIFICATION OF 99.95 PERCENT. /RRL/
