Universal adapter for moisture removal

Abstract

A moisture removal system for removal system for treating water-damaged structures is provided. The system includes a base that attaches to a variety of air movers and multiple ports that attach to duct and direct flows of air to different areas, as well as an adapter allowing attachment to additional air movers.

1 . A flow diverter, comprising: 
 a base configured to operably connect to an air mover; and,    a cap configured with a plurality of ports, the ports configured to operably connect to a duct.    
   
   
       2 . The diverter of  claim 1 , wherein the base is configured to operably connect to a plurality of air movers.  
   
   
       3 . The diverter of  claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the base increases as the height of the base increases.  
   
   
       4 . The diverter of  claim 1 , wherein the base includes a plurality of tiered rings, such that the base may operably connect to a plurality of air movers.  
   
   
       5 . The diverter of  claim 1 , including at least one port cover, the port cover configured to operably connect to a port such that the cover blocks a flow of air through the port.  
   
   
       6 . The diverter of  claim 1 , including an adapter configured to operably connect the diverter to at least one additional air mover.  
   
   
       7 . The flow diverter of  claim 1 , wherein the base is cone-shaped.  
   
   
       8 . The flow diverter of  claim 1 , wherein the base is pyramid-shaped.  
   
   
       9 . A ventilation system comprising: 
 an air mover; and    a flow diverter, the flow diverter having a base and a cap, the cap comprising a plurality of ports, the base configured to operably attach to the air mover.    
   
   
       10 . The ventilation system of  claim 9 , including a plurality of ducts configured to operably couple to the ports.  
   
   
       11 . The ventilation system of  claim 10 , wherein the ducts are hoses.  
   
   
       12 . The ventilation system of  claim 9 , wherein the air mover is an Abatement Technologies 1800.  
   
   
       13 . A method for directing air flow for drying purposes, comprising the steps of: 
 operably coupling a flow diverter having a plurality of ports to an air mover;    operably-coupling an end of at least one hose to a port of the flow diverter;    operating the air mover to create a flow of air; and,    placing another end of the at least one hose to direct a flow of air to a desired location.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising operably coupling at least one port cover to a port of the flow diverter.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising: 
 operably coupling additional hose ends to the flow diverter; and    placing the additional hoses to direct multiple flows of air to multiple desired locations.
