Abstract
Electric oil separator that separates oil from an airflow of a ventilator. The separator includes an emission electrode and a collecting electrode. Moreover, the separator includes an injection device structured and arranged to inject oil as a cleaning fluid onto at least one of the emission electrode and the collecting electrode, so as to inject oil obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the collecting electrode.
Claims21
An electric oil separator that separates oil from an airflow of a ventilator comprising:
- an emission electrode;
- a collecting electrode;
- and
- an injection device structured and arranged to inject oil obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the collecting electrode and as a cleaning fluid onto at least one of the emission electrode and the collecting electrode.
An electric oil separator that separates oil from an airflow of a ventilator comprising:
- an emission electrode;
- a collecting electrode;
- an oil injection device structured and arranged to inject oil obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the collecting electrode as a cleaning fluid onto at least one of the emission electrode and the collecting electrode;
- and
- a circuit configured to intermittently actuate the injection device.
A method of separating oil from an airflow of a ventilator in an oil separator composed of an emission electrode and a collecting electrode, said method comprising:
- injecting oil obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the collecting electrode and onto at least one of the emission electrode and the collecting electrode.
An electric oil separator that separates oil from an airflow of a ventilator comprising:
- a separator;
- an emission electrode:
- a collecting electrode;
- and
- an oil injector structured and arranged to inject oil obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the collecting electrode and onto a portion of the separator.
An electric oil separator that separates oil from an airflow of a ventilator comprising:
- a separator;
- an injector structured and arranged to inject oil obliguely to a longitudinal axis of a collecting electrode and onto a portion of the separator;
- a cleaning brush configured to mechanically clean the portion of the separator with a cleaning movement;
- an expansion tank structured and arranged to generate the cleaning movement through a change in a fill volume of the expansion tank;
- and
- a supply line structured and arranged to guide a fluid out of the expansion tank and to reduce the fill volume and to direct the fluid to one of the injector and the electrode.
