    摘要: Reversible flow may be provided in certain EHD device configurations that selectively energize corona discharge electrodes arranged to motivate flows in generally opposing directions. In some embodiments, a first set of one or more corona discharge electrodes is positioned, relative to a first array of collector electrode surfaces, to when energized, motivate flow in a first direction, while second set of one or more corona discharge electrodes is positioned, relative to a second array of collector electrode surfaces, to when energized, motivate flow in a second direction that opposes the first. In some embodiments, the first and second arrays of collector electrode surfaces are opposing surfaces of individual collector electrodes. In some embodiments, the first and second arrays of collector electrode surfaces are opposing surfaces of respective collector electrodes.

    摘要: By selecting different materials for each layer, a multi-layered electrode structure can be made with superior performance characteristics. For example, a multilayered electrode can include a high tensile strength tungsten core, a conductive intermediate palladium, palladium-nickel, or other platinum group metal layer for generating a corona discharge, and a hardened layer comprising rhodium or other platinum group metal or alloy of the same to resist frictional abrasion during removal of silica dendrites that accumulate on the electrode surface during operation.

    摘要: An apparatus for cleaning an emitter electrode in electrohydrodynamic fluid accelerator and precipitator devices via movement of a cleaning device including granular abrasives positioned to frictionally engage the emitter electrode. The cleaning device causes the granular abrasives to travel along a longitudinal extent of the emitter electrode to remove detrimental material accumulated on the electrode. The granular abrasives can be retained in housing, on opposed cleaning surfaces, and can be compressed by the housing or an applied force to abrade detrimental material from the electrode surface.

    摘要: Cleaning and/or conditioning electrode surfaces can provide significant performance and operational benefits in EHD devices. In particular, conditioning of emitter electrode surfaces with silver (Ag), silver compositions or silver preparations applied in situ at successive times throughout the operating lifetime of an EHD air mover has been found to significantly reduce ozone production. Structures and techniques are described for in situ conditioning electrode surfaces and, in particular, emitter electrode surfaces of an EHD device such as an air mover or precipitator, with a conditioning material that includes silver.

    摘要: Conditioning an electrode is performed with a cleaning device for removing detrimental material from forming electrode surfaces of an electrohydrodynamic device or other ion flow generating device. A conditioning material is deposited on the electrode to at least partially mitigate erosion, corrosion, oxidations, dendrite formation on the electrode or ozone production. The conditioning material can be deposited by a wearable portion of one or more cleaning blocks or wipers. The cleaning blocks may have a composition selected to be hard enough to remove detrimental material under a selected pressure, while soft enough to be wearable to deposit a conditioning layer on the electrode surface. The conditioning material can be applied as a solid or liquid. The applied conditioning material can include at least one of silver, palladium, platinum, manganese, nickel, zirconium, titanium, tungsten, aluminum, oxides or alloys thereof, carbon, and organometallic materials that decompose under plasma conditions.

    摘要: Flow paths, duct work, ventilation boundaries, and/or placement of EHD and mechanical air mover within a electronic device enclosure can all affect the efficacy of a thermal management solution that seeks to provide silent air cooling over a significant thermal operating envelope with staged introduction of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) and mechanical air mover devices. For electronic devices in which it is desirable to employ passive, unforced convective cooling over a portion of the thermal operating envelope, practical designs for consumer electronics form factors may be quite sensitive to flow path, duct work and ventilation boundary design as well as to the placement of EHD and mechanical air mover components relative thereto and to each other. A range of inventive solutions that have been developed to address some or all of these design challenges.

    摘要: Surfaces for electromagnetic shielding, retaining electrostatic charge and indeed collecting ion current in EHD fluid mover designs may be formed as or on surfaces of other components and/or structures in an electronic device. In this way, dimensions may be reduced and packing densities increased. In some cases, electrostatically operative portions of an EHD fluid mover are formed as or on surfaces of an enclosure, an EMI shield, a circuit board and/or a heat pipe or spreader. Depending on the role of these electrostatically operative portions, dielectric, resistive and/or ozone robust or catalytic coatings or conditioning may be applied.
