Abstract
An assembly for sealing an inlet into a to-be-sealed space, comprising the following features: at least one charging electrode that is connectable to one pole of a high voltage source is disposed in a first area of the inlet, an opposing electrode is disposed in a second area of the inlet that lies opposite of the first area, and the electrodes are disposed in a manner aligned with each other such that an influencing zone, which is formed between the electrodes, acts on influencible particles that penetrate from the outside in the direction towards the to-be-sealed space, such that these particles are accelerated in the direction away from the to-be-sealed space.
Claims23
An assembly for sealing an inlet into a to-be-sealed space, comprising:
- at least one charging electrode connectable to one pole of a high voltage source and disposed in a first area of the inlet,
- an opposing electrode is disposed in a second area of the inlet that lies opposite of the first area, and
- wherein the electrodes are disposed in a manner aligned with each other such that an influencing zone, which is formed between the electrodes, acts on influencible particles that penetrate from the outside in the direction towards the to-be-sealed space, such that these particles are accelerated in the direction away from the to-be-sealed space.

A device for sealing an inlet into an interior space from an outside environment, comprising:
- at least one charging electrode disposed in or adjacent the inlet,
- at least one opposing electrode disposed in or adjacent the inlet substantially opposite of the at least one charging electrode, wherein the electrodes are arranged relative to each other such that an electric field is generated between the electrodes and forms a particle barrier that at least substantially blocks contaminates from the outside environment from entering into the interior space.
