Abstract
An electrostatic air cleaner may be operated according to a manner designed to achieve acceptable air quality while balancing power usage and corona electrode degradation levels. The voltage applied to the corona electrode(s) may be controlled as well as the voltage applied to repelling electrodes and air flow velocity. The air cleaner may also be operated to achieve desired particle separation.
Claims16
An electrostatic air cleaner comprising:
- an electrostatic precipitator in an airflow path having an air inlet, an air outlet, an ozone filter, a corona electrode, and a collecting electrode;
- means for altering ozone levels responsive to a supervisory control system;
- wherein said supervisory control system is responsive to one or more sensed conditions to issue a command to said means for altering ozone levels to enhance ozone levels;
- and
- wherein said electrostatic precipitator is configured to increase ozone levels by reversing polarity of the voltage applied to the corona electrode with respect to said collecting electrode.
