Abstract
An electrocyclonic particle collector (EPC) for removing particulate matter from a gas includes an EPC gas inlet, an EPC gas outlet, and an EPC gas flow path between the EPC gas inlet and the EPC gas outlet. A first section is downstream of the EPC gas inlet and includes a first cyclonic particle collector in the gas flow path for cyclonically removing particles from the gas. A second section is in series with the first section and includes a rotational flow chamber in the gas flow path, and at least a first electrode in the gas flow path for facilitating electrostatic removal of particles from the gas stream in the rotational flow chamber.
Claims16
An electrocyclonic particle collector (EPC) for removing particulate matter from a gas, comprising:
- a) an EPC gas inlet, an EPC gas outlet, and an EPC gas flow path between the EPC gas inlet and the EPC gas outlet;
- b) a first section downstream of the EPC gas inlet and comprising a first cyclonic particle collector in the EPC gas flow path for cyclonically removing particles from the gas;
- and
- c) a second section in series with the first section and comprising a rotational flow chamber in the EPC gas flow path, at least a first electrode in the EPC gas flow path for facilitating electrostatic removal of particles from the gas stream in the rotational flow chamber, an inlet conduit extending from the first cyclonic particle collector to the rotational flow chamber, a grate mounted across the downstream end of the inlet conduit, and a rotational flow director for facilitating rotational flow in the rotational flow chamber, wherein the rotational flow director is mounted to the grate and housed in the rotational flow chamber.
