Abstract: An example of a panel for use in collecting fluid in a gas stream includes a fluid collection member comprising one or more collection electrodes. The panel may include an emitter electrode assembly member comprising an emitter electrode frame and one or more emitter electrodes attached to the emitter electrode frame (e.g., disposed in a one- or two-dimensional array). The one or more emitter electrodes may be physically separated from the one or more collection electrodes. The fluid collection member may be physically connected to the emitter electrode assembly member. The one or more collection electrodes may be electrically insulated from the one or more emitter electrodes.

Abstract: 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 and 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for passively collecting fluid from a gas stream using one or more porous collectors. Porous collectors may be or include mesh(es) or other porous structures, such as perforated or stamped sheets (e.g., of metal or plastic). By providing collector(s) in a path of a gas stream that are appropriately constructed and positioned, as further discussed subsequently, appreciable fluid collection can occur by simple inertial impact of the fluid on the collector(s). Specifically, systems herein can exploit swirl component(s) of velocity of a gas stream (that are not axial with a primary direction of flow) to cause fluid to be collected (e.g., impact and remain) on collectors. A swirl component of velocity may be, for example, a tangential, radial, or rotational component or a combination thereof.

Abstract: An example of a species collection system includes a plurality of spaced-apart electrically conductive collectors and a plurality of emitter electrodes. In some embodiments, at least one emitter electrode is disposed between adjacent ones of the collectors. In some embodiments, the at least one emitter electrode extends beyond the collectors (e.g., in at least one dimension). Collectors may be aligned to a direction of gas flow from an outlet to facilitate collection while minimizing interference with the gas flow. Different emitter electrodes may be maintained at different voltages. In some embodiments, collectors are attached to a collector frame and emitter electrodes are attached to emitter frame(s) that are electrically insulated from the collector frame. Collectors may span a gas outlet and emitter frame(s) may be positioned outside of the collectors (e.g., and outside of a periphery of the gas outlet).
