Abstract
A rapping mechanism is provided for rapping a row of electrodes (1) in an electrostatic precipitator. The electrodes (1) consists of vertical strip plates suspended from their upper ends and the mechanism comprises a horizontal rapping bar (3) connected with the lower end of each electrode (1) in the row and a hammer (4) for striking the bar (3) in its axial direction. The connection between the lower end of each electrode (1) and the rapping bar (3) is an elastic connection (8) configured with a predetermined elasticity.
Claims8
A rapping mechanism for rapping a row of electrodes in an electrostatic precipitator, said precipitator having support means for said electrodes, said electrodes consisting of vertical strip plates and being suspended at their upper ends from said support means, said mechanism comprising:
- a horizontal rapping bar;
- a hammer for striking the bar in its axial direction;
- and,
- connection means connecting said rapping bar with the lower end of each electrode in the row,
- said connection means being an elastic connection configured with a predetermined elasticity in the horizontal direction corresponding to said horizontal rapping bar.
An electrostatic dust precipitator having a plurality of dust collecting electrodes provided with a rapping mechanism for cleaning a row of said electrodes;
- and support means, said electrodes being suspended at their upper ends from said support means, said rapping mechanism comprising:
- a horizontal rapping bar;
- a hammer for striking the bar in its axial direction;
- and,
- connection means connecting said rapping bar with the lower end of each electrode in the row,
- said connection means being an elastic connection configured with a predetermined elasticity in the horizontal direction corresponding to said horizontal rapping bar.
