Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for mixing ambient air and a hazardous gas with the gas being admitted to the apparatus via an inlet conduit. A rake disposed for travel within said conduit periodically dislodges deposits from the conduit interior with rake travel being along conduit affixed guides. Openings defined by the rake permit a gas flow at all times. Projections on a conduit end wall dislodge deposits from disc edges defining openings. A rake actuator is in communication with a solenoid valve in circuit with a timer and controller for automatic operation of the actuator.
