Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator for the separation of dust particles from a gas stream, with at least one attached in a gas flowed through the housing precipitation electrode and with a parallel spaced by her, stretched under tension held spray electrode and periodically acting means for cleaning the collecting electrode.
  • the DE 490951 and the EP 0433152 are known electrostatic precipitator whose centrally extending in a tubular collecting electrode, wire-shaped spray electrode is tensioned by a fixed at its lower end weight.
  • the DE 490951 serves this tension weight at the same time as a wiper for the collecting electrode and is fixed during operation of the electrostatic precipitator, to avoid vibrations of the spray, in a relative to the housing of the electrostatic precipitator electrically insulated device.
  • the EP 0433152 a separate, with respect to the wire-shaped spray electrode electrically insulated scraper is provided, which is also lowered with its gravity along the inner surface of the collecting electrode.
  • the illustrated electrostatic precipitator 1 has a box-shaped filter housing 2, which encloses numerous, in several rows vertically extending and mutually parallel, tubular collecting electrodes 3 to 7.
  • the gas to be purified flows from an inflow branch 8 to the bottom region 9 of the housing in order to distribute from there to the individual precipitation electrodes 3 to 7, from which it flows out into a head region 10 of the housing to leave this via a discharge port 11.
  • the separation between bottom portion 9 and head portion 10 is effected by a lower and upper horizontal partition wall 12, 13, to which the ends of the collecting electrodes 3 to 7 are tightly secured.
  • the filter housing 2 merges into a shaft 14 delimited by oblique walls, along the bottom region of which extends a screw conveyor 15, through which ash or dust is discharged, which has dropped down from the precipitation tubes 3 to 7 into the shaft 14.
  • each tubular collecting electrode 3 to 7 each extending from a flexible wire spraying electrode 16 to 20, which is releasably connected to the positive pole of a high voltage source of eg 40 kV.
  • a high voltage source eg 40 kV.
  • Fig. 2 Shown pendulum, not shown insulators suspended contact frame 21, the contact webs 22 in a protruding from the respective collecting electrode 3 to 7 each area on the side of the Sprühelektroden 16 to 20 are applied under its own weight.
  • a cable system with attached to a common winding shaft 24 bobbins 25.
  • the corresponding negatively charged precipitation electrodes 3 to 7 are connected to a grounding line 23.
  • Each spraying electrode 16 to 20 extending through an associated collecting electrode 3 to 7 forms a part of a strand 28 that extends longitudinally in each case into an upper and lower winding drum 26, 27 and can be wound onto it.
  • a strand 28 For electrical insulation with respect to the winding drums 26, 27, FIGS this strand 28 an upper and lower, rod-shaped insulating body 29, 30 is provided.
  • the lower winding drums 27 are connected to a rotary drive 32 via a common drive shaft 31 to provide, by winding the strands 28 on the winding drums 27, one each above the collecting electrodes 3 to 7 in this strand 28, e.g. As a brush running cleaning body 33 to pull through the associated tubular collecting electrode 3 to 7 and thus to remove adhering to the inner surface of the material so that it drops down into the shaft 14.
  • a channel-shaped Isolier Sciences 34 is provided for this laterally on the winding drum 27, which is bounded by an extension 35 of a laterally projecting Drummelnabe 36 .
  • a crank arm 37 is provided which extends in the channel direction and thus tangentially away from the drum hub 36 to the outside and at the outer end of an extension pin 39 of the insulating body 30 is attached via a ball joint 40.
  • the hub extension 35 and the crank arm 37 are adapted in their length to the insulating body 30 with its extension pin 39 such that upon pivoting of the insulating body 30 into the Isolier Sciencesement 34 of the spray electrode 16 to 20 facing, a joint connection 41 exhibiting end at a lateral drum opening 42nd arrives in such a way that the strand 28 with its spray electrode 16 to 20 can be safely wound onto the winding drum 27.
  • the after a certain, empirically determined as optimal time program cleaning process begins with the shutdown of the electrical high voltage. Thereafter, the contact frame 21 is pivoted away from the discharge electrodes 3 to 7. Subsequently, the rotary drive 32 of the lower winding drums 27 is turned on. By the rotation of the respective crank arm 37 pivots downward, so that the rod-shaped insulating body 30 sets in its receptacle 34. The winding drum 27 continuously rotates and winds the spraying electrode 16 to 20 until the cleaning body 33 has been completely drawn through the tubular collecting electrode 3 to 7.
  • the respective strand 28 continues via a compensating spring 43 as a steel cable 44, which unwinds from the upper winding drum 26.
  • the upper winding drums 26 of a plurality of spray electrodes 16 to 20 are mounted on a common shaft 45, at the end of a cable drum 46 is attached.
  • a wound on this cable drum 46 produces a fixed end weight 48 under tension and thus holds on the shaft 45, the tension of the Sprühelektroden 16 to 20 even during the cleaning process upright.
  • the tension can be maintained at the spray electrodes 16 to 20 instead of by a weight 48 by a tension spring 50 which is provided in a Schmidtzugseil 51.
  • the Jacobyakseil 51 has an extending from the upper cable drum 46 to the mainspring 50 strand 52 and a wound on a Gegenzugtrommel 53 strand 54.
  • the winding rotation of this Gegenzugtrommel 53 is transmitted via the same shaft 31 as provided for the winding drum 27 by being mounted on the same shaft 31.
  • the only difference is the winding direction, by winding the strand 28 on the winding drum 27 causes a unwinding of the strand 54 of the Schmidtzugtrommel 53 through the described connection on the upper shaft 45.
  • a bias of the tension spring 50 permanently determines the tension on the spray electrodes 16 to 20.
  • Fig.2 illustrates that a constructed according to the described principle electrostatic precipitator 1 can be extended by adding any further combinations of spray and precipitation electrode both longitudinally and transversely arbitrarily, in order to the given for a particular application in each case flow amount of gas to be purified in a simple or cost-effective manner to be able to adapt.
