Problems solved by technology

However, any increase by this means is insignificant in terms of increased efficiency, and no increase in toxic ozone is desired
[0020] (2) Regarding the size of the particles, there is usually no control over this in practice, and the efficiency measurements are usually for the hardest-to-trap particle size, usually around 0.3 micron diameter
Third, the weight of the metal plate filter will double, which also means an increase in the cost of the filter material
[0045] However, due to the difficulties encountered in providing suitable electrical isolation (as described above), resulting in malfunctions in operation and / or the need for overly frequent and time-consuming cleaning of the filter, few, if any, Electrostatic precipitators with particle capture filters (a) where the plate separation is less than 2 mm, and (b) have been successfully operated long-term (i.e. operated for a year or more before cleaning)

[0145] Figure 4A to Figure 4D Illustrated is a filter 40 comprising a plurality of spaced apart plastic (i.e. non-metallic) electrode films / plates 41 passed over two major surfaces by a film of, for example, indium tin oxide. The conductive coating 43 has electrical conductivity. The membranes 41 are arranged to be powered at high and low potentials, and are thus organized into two interleaved and alternating groups: high voltage membranes 41a and low voltage (or ground) membranes 41b. Each membrane 41 has a front edge X, a rear edge Y, and Figure 4A and 4D indicated by the arrow in the Figure 4B airflow into the page, and in the Figure 4C The middle airflow is two opposite side edges Z extending from left to right). The filter 40 also includes a plurality of spaced apart first rigid isolation members 42a and a plurality of spaced apart second rigid isolation members 42b, which are respectively bonded to the ends of the electrode film 41 using a suitable adhesive (for...

[0155] Thus, in Figure 5A and Figure 5B A second embodiment of the invention is shown in where there is a Figure 4A to Figure 4D The filter 40 shown has a filter 50 of similar design. Indeed, the similarities between filter 50 and filter 40 are such that like elements are given like reference numerals (but numerically increased by 10 relative to filter 50), only the differences are described below.

[0156] In this second embodiment, a conductive coating 53, such as indium tin oxide, provided on both main surfaces of the electrode film 51 is located at the center, and from each of the front edge X and the rear edge Y of the film 51 X or trailing edge Y is recessed to form gap 54 . The consequences are twofold. First, the surface leak path from Figure 4C D1 in the first example shown is increased to Figure 5A D2 in this second embodiment is shown. The distance D2 is calculated as the sum of the separation distance between two adjacent films 51 and the distance of th...

[0160] Thus, in Figure 6A and Figure 6B A third embodiment of the invention is shown in where there is a Figure 5A and Figure 5B The filter 50 shown in has a filter 60 of similar design. Indeed, the similarities between filter 60 and filter 50 are such that like elements are given like reference numerals (but numerically increased by 10 relative to filter 60), only the differences are described below.

[0161] In this third embodiment, a series of notches 65 are cut in each of the front edge X and the rear edge Y of the electrode film. As shown, the notches 65 are provided at alternating locations in the high-pressure membrane 61a and the low-pressure membrane 61b, so that each individual spacer member 63a, 63b is bonded to membranes of only one polarity, thereby eliminating the need for polarity in phase. The surface current leakage path between the adjacent high voltage film 61a and the ground electrode film 61b. Any remaining surface leak paths in filter 60 are of ...

Abstract

A filter for an electrostatic precipitator comprising: a plurality of spaced-apart, electrode films having electrical conductivity, arranged to be alternately powered at high and low electrical potentials, each of said electrode films having a leading edge, a trailing edge and two opposing side edges therebetween that extend in the direction of airflow; and first and second pluralities of spaced-apart, rigid isolation members bonded to each of the leading and trailing edges of the plurality of electrode films respectively, wherein each isolation member is bonded, via a substantially continuous, preferably flat, surface thereof, to at least some of said leading or trailing edges, thereby fixing the electrode films in the required spaced-apart arrangement thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filter whose operation and design are based on the principle of electrostatic precipitator, and in particular to an air filter suitable for an electrostatic precipitator. Background technique [0002] Electrostatic precipitators come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are widely used in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. For example, they are used industrially to remove suspended particulates from hot exhaust gases from coal-fired power stations. They are used in a wide range of chemical industries to clean hot and cold air streams. Most commercial applications and all household applications of electrostatic precipitators are to clean the ambient air of undesirable "pollutant" particles. [0003] As is well known in the art, electrostatic precipitators have two stages. In the first stage or section, pollutants or other undesirable particles in the gas stream are charged. In the second stage or s...
