Abstract
An emission control device and method are provided for treating exhaust to reduce pollutants contained therein. The device includes a first chamber through which the exhaust passes. First and second metal grids are disposed within the first chamber at a predetermined distance from each other. Voltage is supplied to the insulated first grid by an electrical induction coil at a predetermined frequency depending upon the application. Electrical charges are generated between the first and second grids which electrically ionizes the exhaust stream. The exhaust stream is then further treated at a second chamber having strata. The strata can further include or exclude noble metals for treatment of the exhaust.
Claims4
An electrical conductor, said conductor comprising:
- a plurality of bare wires juxtaposed in a first curvilinear row and coiled equal-distantly about a curvilinear centerline forming a curvilinear helix;
- a plurality of insulated wires juxtaposed in a second curvilinear row and coiled around said bare wires forming a curvilinear generally rectangular chamber around said bare wires;
- and
- an insulated center-wire along the curvilinear centerline and disposed within said bare wires and said insulated wires.
The conductor according to claim 22 wherein said plurality of bare wires is four or more bare wires and are grounded.
The conductor according to claim 23 wherein said plurality of insulating wires is three or more insulating wires.
The conductor according claim 22 wherein said conductor is adapted to apply at least eighty percent (80%) of the voltage supplied to said conductor to one of said first grid or said second grid.
