    摘要: An electrostatic air filter connected to a high voltage source, including an air flow channel, an ion generator, at least one corona electrode and at least one cumulative electrode, the corona electrodes and the cumulative electrodes are configured so that corona discharges occur between the corona electrodes and the cumulative electrodes due to a first potential difference, causing ionization of contaminant particles present in the air flow channel. A separator of contaminant particles is disposed in the air flow channel and includes input and output electrodes that enable the flow of air therethrough in a direction away from the input electrode to the output electrode and further to the channel outlet. During operation, there is a first potential difference between the corona and input electrodes and a second potential difference between the input and output electrodes, so that the electric field strength in the space between the input and output electrodes is directed opposite to that in the space between the ion generator and the input electrode.

    摘要: An example of a system for use in collecting fluid from a gas stream includes one or more collection panels and a frame for arranging the panel(s). Each of the collection panel(s) may comprise an emitter electrode assembly member, comprising one or more emitter electrodes, physically attached to an electrically insulated from a fluid collection member comprising one or more collection electrodes. The frame may be sized and shaped to be disposed near a gas outlet or a duct. An example of a method for collecting fluid from a gas stream includes providing the collection panel(s) disposed in a path of the gas stream; providing the gas stream; generating and maintaining a voltage at the one or more emitter electrodes of each of the collection panel(s); and collecting an amount of the fluid from the gas stream with the one or more collection panels.

    摘要: Systems and methods related to the collection of a species from a gas stream are generally provided. The systems and methods described herein may allow for collection of a species such as a fluid (e.g., water) with a relatively high collection efficiency. Such systems and methods may be useful in various applications including, for example, fog collection. In some embodiments, the systems and methods enhance water collection from airborne fog to produce usable water. Advantageously, the methods described herein may, in some cases, incorporate ions into the gas stream such that the species present in the gas stream follows electric field lines and/or are attracted to a grounded (or charged) collector. Advantageously, the systems and methods described herein may suppress the adverse effects of natural conditions such as the velocity and direction of the wind.
