Abstract
A cylindrical oil contamination collector for removal of ultra-fine particulate includes a rectangular and continuous length of single-sided, corrugated, phenolic coated paper overlaid with three rectangular electrodes affixed thereto in a spaced-apart, side-by-side arrangement. Two of the electrodes are electrode grounds and the other electrode is a high voltage electrode. The phenolic coated paper is spiral-wound into a continuous spiral with at least one of the three rectangular electrodes sandwiched between adjacent, overlapping turns of the spiral-wound phenolic coated paper.

A cylindrical oil contamination collector for removal of ultra-fine particulate, comprising:
- a rectangular and continuous length of single-sided, corrugated, phenolic coated paper overlaid with three rectangular electrodes affixed thereto in a spaced-apart, side-by-side arrangement where two of the electrodes are electrode grounds and the other electrode is a high voltage electrode, the phenolic coated paper being spiral-wound into a continuous spiral with at least one of the three rectangular electrodes sandwiched between adjacent, overlapping turns of the spiral-wound phenolic coated paper.
A method of forming a cylindrical oil contamination collector, comprising:
- providing a rectangular and continuous length of single-sided, corrugated, phenolic coated paper;
- affixing three electrodes to the phenolic coated paper in a side-by-side and spaced apart arrangement where two of the electrodes are electrode grounds and the other electrode is a high voltage electrode;
- and
- rolling the phenolic coated paper about a mandrel to form a continuous spiral with at least one of the three rectangular electrodes sandwiched between adjacent, overlapping turns of the spiral-wound phenolic coated paper.
