Abstract:
An intense field dielectric air filtration system includes a perimeter frame for wall or ceiling mounting at the inlet of a return air duct for an air conditioning apparatus. A door including a grille disposed thereon is mounted for movement on the frame between working and non-working positions for access to an air filter unit, a pre-filter unit and an intense field particle charging unit. Contacts on the filter unit and the field charging unit engage cooperating contacts on an enclosure mounted on the frame when the door is closed to supply electrical power. An interlock is provided to interrupt power when the door is moved to an open position or the grille is removed. A control system disposed in the enclosure includes user control features accessible when the door is in an open position. An alternate embodiment includes a support frame for positioning the filtration system in ductwork or the like other than a return air inlet.
Abstract:
An electro-kinetic air conditioner for removing particulates from the air creates an airflow using no moving parts. The conditioner includes an ion generator that has an electrode assembly including a first array of emitter electrodes, a second array of collector electrodes, and a high voltage generator. Preferably, a third or leading or focus electrode is located upstream of the first array of emitter electrodes, and/or a trailing electrode is located downstream of the second array of collector electrodes. The device can also include an interstitial electrode located between collector electrodes, an enhanced collector electrode with an integrally formed trailing end, and an enhanced emitter electrode with an enhanced length in order to increase emissivity.
Abstract:
A casing containing a strip of ferromagnetic material has a pair of ceramic magnets at each end thereof associated with one of each pair of magnetics is a ferromagnetic shoe member that provides an angled pole face that bears against the outside of the pipe. These components are contained within the casing by a means of a potting compound.
Abstract:
Device for automatic capturing and removing magnetic material from a flow of material, wherein the device includes a plurality of retractable magnet rod assemblies for capturing magnetic material in a flow of material passing the retractable magnet rod assemblies, where each retractable magnet rod assembly includes a magnet rod comprising at least two magnet segments encapsulated in a non-magnetic material.
Abstract:
A magnetic filter is disclosed suitable for use in large heating and/or cooling systems, for example heating systems using pipework between 2 inch bore and 4 inch bore. The magnetic filter includes a separation chamber in the form of a pipe, and externally-mounted magnetic 5 assemblies which are movable from a position close to the pipe to a position spaced from the pipe. The magnetic assemblies are pivotally mounted to the pipe via a framework.

Abstract:
A magnetic tool for manipulated conveyance over a surface for magnetic collection of ferrous articles. This tool has a three-sided extruded channel, which cooperates with an opposing steel top plate to form a protective magnet housing for one or more magnets.The extruded channel is configured to direct magnet flux downward to optimize the attraction efficiency of the tool.Magnetic flux is further optimized by the use of multiple magnets in the channel housing of opposite polarity. The steel top plate channel also serves as the primary structural element of the tool for attachment of conveyance and manipulation means, such as an adjustable handle by means of an ACME collar and two axles for wheels.The invention is the three-sided extruded channel, that has an incorporated track for a free-floating hinged release lever. The release lever has been designed specifically as a means of easily removing ferrous material attracted by the three-sided channel, that allows to pass through the magnetic field from the magnets. As a means of incorporating minimal mechanical friction, the magnets are allowed to remain in a static position within the housing. A free-floating release lever is incorporated via a hinge into the extruded housing as to create a space gap between the magnetic field and the ferrous materials collected when operated. This allows for easy removal of the ferrous material without the operator having to be in direct contact with it.
