Abstract
A housing for an electrostatic air cleaner is made adaptable to various sizes of cells by use of the same components. Top and bottom wall members are interconnected by telescoping corner members which can be contracted or expanded to vary the height of the housing as desired. The ends of the housing are closed by way of doors which are also expandable to varying lengths so as to accommodate various housing heights.
Claims11
An improved casing structure for receiving one or more electronic air cleaner cells having longitudinally spaced ionizer and collector sections comprising:
- upper and lower transversely spaced end walls, each end wall having on each longitudinal side thereof a sidewall extending transversely toward the other end wall, and each sidewall having a slot formed near each of its lateral ends thereof;
- four corner posts extending transversely between said side walls, each post having on each of its ends, a tongue which is received in one of said sidewall slots, thereby defining a rigid structure with an opening for receiving an air cleaner cell to be inserted laterally into the casing.
An improved electronic air cleaner containment assembly for removably receiving one or more air cleaner cells, each cell having adjacent ionizer and collector sections arranged in serial flow relationship along a longitudinal axis, wherein the improvement comprises:
- a pair of laterally extending, transversely spaced end walls defining an opening therebetween for receiving the cells and for conducting the longitudinal flow of air therethrough;
- a plurality of support members extending transversely between and interconnecting said end walls, said support members being selectively extendible in length to accommodate cells of various transverse dimensions.
