Abstract
An air cleaner electrode assembly includes an elongated collector electrode and a plurality of elongated discharge electrodes arranged around the collector electrode. A fan may move air in a direction parallel to a length of the electrodes. The collector electrode may have a plurality of distinct faces where at least one discharge electrode is associated with a corresponding face. A cleaning shuttle may be configured to ride on and remove debris from the elongated electrodes. A voltage differential across the electrodes and the fan speed may be adjusted independently of each other.

An electrode cleaning assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a collector electrode;
- a plurality of elongated discharge electrodes arranged in the interior of the housing;
- and
- at least one cleaning shuttle that is configured to move along and remove debris from at least one of the elongated discharge electrodes, wherein the cleaning shuttle is constructed and arranged to move independently of the housing and the collector electrode.
An electrode cleaning assembly comprising:
- a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet;
- a fan arranged to draw air in through the air inlet and expel air out through the air outlet;
- a collector electrode disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet;
- a plurality of discharge electrodes arranged in the interior of the housing;
- and
- at least one cleaning shuttle that is configured to move along and remove debris from at least two of the electrodes, wherein the cleaning shuttle is constructed and arranged to move independently of the housing and the collector electrode.
