Electric cleaner for dielectric liquids and gases

Abstract

The utility model relates to devices for cleaning dielectric liquids and gases from particles of a solid dispersed phase using force electric fields and can be used in the gas production, chemical, metallurgical industries, as well as in the aviation industry. This utility model improves the efficiency of working fluid purification by creating an optimal design that ensures a stepwise purification process while maintaining selectivity for the particle size distribution of the solid dispersed phase of contaminants. The device comprises a housing with working fluid inlet and outlet pipes. An upper and lower stop is installed within the housing. The working fluid inlet pipe is located along the device axis, reaching the lower stop. The inner surface of the housing and the outer surface of the inlet pipe, from the upper to the lower stops, are coated with insulating material. A hollow plug with a magnet attached to it is embedded in the bottom of the housing. A hemispherical reflector with a central hole and supports is installed in the lower part of the housing, creating an annular gap between the housing walls. The annular gap is five times larger than the maximum possible diameter of a contaminant particle in the working fluid. Between the upper and lower limiters is a stack of perforated collecting electrodes with alternating potentials, a pair of cylindrical hollow dielectric inserts with a perforated base, and a ring ionizer. The perforated collecting electrodes are separated by dielectric partitions with cylindrical channels aligned with the perforated holes. The edges of the perforated holes in the perforated collecting electrodes are angled toward the direction of flow of the working fluid.
