Abstract:
An electrostatic precipitator with at least one pair of spaced, flat-plate grounded dust collecting electrodes and a floating, insulated dust collecting flat-plate electrode arranged in the center of each space between the grounded dust collecting electrodes parallel to the gas flow and provided at its edges at fixed intervals with sets of needle-shaped discharge electrodes.The needles are fabricated along an outer longitudinal edge of a channel bracket member by welding or the like at precise equal spacings. Plural bracket members are riveted along the respective leading and trailing edges of each floating flat electrode plate in such a fashion that the tips of the needles are aligned vertically in the precipitator chamber. The diameter of the needle-shaped discharge electrodes is smaller than approximately 5 mm and the tips of the needle-shaped electrodes have a maximum radius of approximately 0.5 mm while the intervals between the needle-shaped discharge electrodes is smaller than the distance between the grounded dust collecting electrodes and the floating dust collecting electrodes.
Abstract:
An electrostatic precipitator discharge electrode having an outer conductive sheath with a generally axially extending inner core therein and an insulator therebetween is coiled so that the outer sheath thereof is plastically deformed with none of the components being fractured and packaged in a container for shipping. After the container is shipped to the job site, the coiled electrode is removed, straightened and cut to the desired length to provide a straight axially extending discharge electrode for installation in an electrostatic precipitator.
Abstract:
A PRECIPITATOR FOR ELECTROSTATICALLY REMOVING DUST AND OTHER CONTAIMINANTS FROM AIR PASSING THROUGH IT. THE PRECIPITATOR COMPRISES A PAIR OF MECHANICAL FILTERS POSITIONED ON EITHER SIDE OF AN IONIZING GRID, AN ELECTRIC FIELD BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THE GRID AND THE MECHANICAL FILTERS. THE GRID MAY BE IN THE NATURE OF A PLURALITY OF VERTICAL WIRES OR RODS TO WHICH SHORT HORIZONTAL POINTED ELEMENTS ARE FASTENED. THESE POINTED ELEMENTS IONIZE THE AIR TO CHARGE THE CONTAMINANTS PASSING THERETHROUGH, THE CHARGE ON THE CONTAMINANTS CAUSING THEM TO BE ATTRACTED TO THE MECHANICAL FILTERS. THE POTENTIAL BETWEEN THE SCREEN AND THE FILTERS IS S.C. WITH A LOW RIPPLE FACTOR.

The corona discharge field of an electrostatic precipitator comprises grate-like component elements 4 which are formed of round star or spiked wires and/or iron strips 1 welded into square or oblong frames 2 and connected together in electrically conducting manner on the unit construction principle. As shown in Figs. 1 and 8, each frame 2 carries two rows of discharge electrodes 1 in staggered formation and is connected to the frame adjacent to it by either rivets or screws 5 so as to make the frames readily exchangeable. Fig. 7 shows various constructions of collecting electrodes each having dust-collecting pockets in staggered formation to suit the arrangement of discharge electrodes. Fig. 6 shows various constructions of collecting electrodes which call for single rows of discharge electrodes. The discharge electrodes 1 in each frame may be further supported by a strip secured across the middle of the frame. If desired, the grate-like component elements may be formed of wires and/or strips welded at the top and bottom to flat iron bars which are secured in a precipitator framework comprising a rectangular frame with cross-bracing struts.
