Abstract
A wet electrostatic precipitator device is provided which has a plurality of hexagonal honeycomb collector passage ways, a corresponding mating plurality of stationary rod elements to be centrally located at axes of each said hexagonal honeycomb collector passage ways and a set of bands integrally formed with a multiplicity of the ionizing blades which protrude from the surfaces of each of the stationary rod elements. The geometry of the design has a high degree of efficiency, while at the same time causes the ionizing blades to maintain their electrostatic charging characteristics under a harsh set of environmental conditions.
Claims3
A wet electrostatic precipitator device which comprises:
- a) a plurality of hexagonal honeycomb collector passage ways;
- b) a corresponding mating plurality of stationary rod elements to be centrally located at axes of each said hexagonal honeycomb collector passage way;
- and
- c) means for securing a multiplicity of ionizing blades to a surface of each said stationary rod elements wherein said means is a band fitted over said stationary rod and fabricated by punching out and folding back in a radial direction a group of six substantially triangular spines to form several sets of a first crown and several sets of a second crown, wherein each of said spines of said first crowns are positioned to point at an apex of said hexagonal honeycomb collector passage way, each of said spines of said second crowns are positioned to point at a mid point of a flat side of said hexagonal honeycomb collector passage way, and each of said spines of said second crowns are shorter than said spines of said first crowns.
