Abstract
A first recess for detachably mounting an ionizer therethrough is formed to oppose a dust-collecting air suction side of a precipitator machine body. The ionizer includes an ionizing wire unit having an ionizing wire, and a counterelectrode plate, which can be detachably assembled. A second recess for detachably mounting a dust collector therethrough is formed to oppose a dust-collecting air discharge side of the precipitator body. The dust collector captures and collects dust particles, charged by the ionizer, with a Coulomb force. The ionizer and dust collector are simultaneously electrically connected to the body when they are mounted on the corresponding recesses.
Claims13
An electrostatic precipitator apparatus, comprising:
- a body having a suction portion for guiding intake of air, having dust particles therein, and a discharge portion for guiding discharge of said air from said body;
- an ionizer for charging said dust particles, including:
- an ionizing wire unit having an ionizing wire;
- a counterelectrode plate detachably mounted to said ionizing wire unit and comprising electrode portions;
- and
- a first terminal disposed thereon and electrically coupled to said ionizing wire;
- a dust collector for generating a Coulomb force to collect said charged dust particles;
- first mounting means, proximate to said suction portion, for removably mounting said ionizer to said body, comprising a second terminal electrically coupled to said body, said second terminal automatically electrically coupling to said first terminal when said ionizer is mounted to said body;
- and
- second mounting means, proximate to said discharge portion, for removably mounting said dust collector to said body.
