Abstract
A damper arrangement is described which provides for selective separation of the insulator compartments from the main body of a wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP), permitting maintenance to be performed on the insulator in the compartment while process gas continues to flow through the WESP.
Claims4
In an electrostatic precipitator having a body and a grid of electrode elements within said body, a plurality of electro-conducting support arms connected to and supporting the grid, each of said support arms extending through a port in a wall of the electrostatic precipitator surrounding said grid of electrode elements to an external insulator compartment and terminating in an insulator which insulates the support arm from the body of the electrostatic precipitator, the improvement which comprises a damper located in the insulator compartment and effective to selectively seal off the interior of the insulator compartment from gases flowing through the electrostatic precipitator.
