Abstract
An electrostatic precipitator includes charging, inertia and collection sections, which are arranged in the order mentioned along the direction of gas flow containing therein particles to be removed. The charging section includes a parallel electrode and a discharging electrode located between the parallel plates, and, thus, the particles floating in the gas passing through the charging section become charged and partly agglomerated. The inertia section includes a deflector plate arranged at a predetermined angle thereby causing the gas flow to change its course of action locally to have the particles impinge on the deflector plate due to inertia. The collection section includes a trough which is formed continuous with the deflector plate with its mouth opened against the gas flow.
Claims10
A device for collecting particles floating in a gas, comprising:
- a flow channel for flowing said gas in a predetermined direction;
- corona charging means for charging at least partly said particles floating in said gas flowing through said channel thereby causing said particles to be agglomerated at least partly, said charging means being located inside of said flow channel and including at least a pair of parallel electrode means spaced apart from each other over a predetermined distance and each arranged in parallel with said predetermined direction and at least one corona electrode means disposed between said pair of parallel electrode means;
- deflecting means disposed downstream of said corona charging means for deflecting said gas such that said gas flows generally in a direction other than said predetermined direction thereby causing particles in said deflected gas to impinge on said deflecting means due at least partly to inertia;
- and
- collecting means disposed downstream of and formed continuously with said deflecting means to define a local negative pressure region, said collecting means having in a horizontal plan view a generally inverted C-shaped cross section whose upstream end is connected to said deflecting means and which is all located at a downstream side with respect to an imaginary line defined as a trailing extension of said deflecting means, for collecting at least said particles moving along said deflecting means, said collecting means guiding said particles thus collected to be transported by force of gravity to a desired position without being reentrained in the flowing gas.
