Abstract
An electrostatic air conditioner having at least one ion emitting member (i.e., corona frame) and at least one ion collecting member (i.e., collecting cartridge) is provided. The corona frame and collecting cartridge are configured to have active and passive areas and be removable from the housing within which they are positioned. The passive areas provide additional spacing between the active area and the side walls of the housing, and provide several advantages over existing electrostatic air conditioners, e.g., eliminates barriers between active corona wires and the housing walls, which prevents any settling of chemically active or electrically active matter (vapor or particles) on such barriers and/or housing walls (due to air flow).
Claims33
An electrostatic air conditioner system comprising:
- a housing made of electrically insulating material and having inlet vent, outlet vent, and sides;
- an ion emitting member located on and detachable from a corona frame and an ion collecting member located on a separate collector frame, both the corona frame and the collector frame positioned in said housing, said ion emitting member and said ion collecting member being located at a first distance D from each other;
- a high voltage generator configured to provide a potential difference at first and second output terminals between said ion emitter and said ion collector members;
- said ion emitting member contains thin electrically conductive wires attached to the corona frame;
- wherein at least one of the ion emitting member and the ion collecting member comprises an active and a passive area, said active area containing electrically conductive electrodes while said passive area containing non-conductive media;
- said active area being located at a second distance f for the ion emitting member, and at a third distance K for the ion collecting member, from the sides of the housing.
