Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator for removing the solid and liquid components from an aerosol.
- Such a separator consists of a separator housing having an access, the raw gas inlet, for the aerosol to be cleaned and an outlet, the clean gas outlet, for the purified aerosol. At least one flow channel leading in the aerosol flanges to the raw gas inlet. The freed of the solid and liquid particles gas exits the separator as pure gas, either immediately into the environment or is passed on in a flanging channel on.
- a discharge device for the discharge of there excreted from the aerosol, accumulated, solid and liquid components.
- An electrical high-voltage bushing electrically supplies an ionization stage in the separator from the outside.
- the ionization stage consists of at least one projecting into the flow path of the aerosol metallic, acted upon by electrical high voltage rod, which is equipped with radially serrated electrode discs and in the corona discharges, the solid and liquid particles are electrically charged in the gas flowing past.
- electrical high voltage rod which is equipped with radially serrated electrode discs and in the corona discharges, the solid and liquid particles are electrically charged in the gas flowing past.
- the separator downstream of the ionizer, there is a collector device in which the solid and liquid particles of the gas stream are deposited.
- Electrostatic precipitators are the most effective means of cleaning fine and ultrafine aerosols. Electrostatic precipitators have several advantages over gas purifiers of other technology: they require less energy than mechanical collector devices and have no moving parts; Maintenance costs are low and downtime is low.
- the construction of a compact electrostatic precipitator of high efficiency for drop aerosols is described in US 6,221,136.
- the electrostatic precipitator has a high voltage electrode with multiple wire segments positioned within an electrically conductive porous medium and having a central axis, on which the electrode structure expands.
- the electrode assembly consists of a plurality of longitudinally positioned wires which propagate along the longitudinal axis of the porous medium.
- the wire segments are arranged to have a substantially longer overall length than the extension length along the longitudinal axis.
- the particles are passed through the porous medium and past the electrode and are charged via the high voltage.
- the porous medium has a much lower voltage than the high voltage electrode.
- Electrostatic shields are mounted around the high voltage insulators to reduce the likelihood of insulator contamination causing leakage currents.
- the separator has several problems.
- Third, the distance between the electrostatic shields and the housing of the separator is small. If the shields are covered with particles, this can lead to flashovers within the separator. The spark discharges reduce the efficiency of the collector.
- the porous medium as a collector plays the following two roles: first, it is used as a grounded electrode; second, it collects aerosol particles, which can be droplets and solid particles. Covering the filter surface with a dielectric fluid, such as lubricating oil, will weaken the electric field strength in the electrode assembly, thereby reducing the efficiency of the particle charge.
- a dielectric fluid such as lubricating oil
- DE 102 44 051 an electrostatic precipitator is presented, the an ionizer with multiple needle or star electrodes installed downstream in a grounded nozzle plate.
- the charged particles are collected in a collector installed downstream of the ionizer (DE 102 44 051 and DE 10 2004 037 286). Due to the small distance between the high voltage and the grounded electrode in the electrode assembly, there is a strong electric field in the particle charge zone. Compared with conventional electrostatic precipitators, this allows operation with relatively small high voltages, ⁇ 20 kV, to the particle charge.
- the gas stream flows at high speed through the ionizer and at low speed through the collector, the actual filter.
- the high velocity of the gas stream in the ionizer stabilizes the operation of the electrostatic precipitator, reduces the influence of the space charge on the charged particles and reduces the suppression of the corona discharge.
- the low velocity in the collector improves its efficiency and reduces the pressure drop in it.
- the grounded electrode in the electrode assembly and the collector are spatially separated. This reduces the clogging of the collector.
- the grounded grid / mesh or nozzle allows the passage of charged aerosol particles. The electric wind can pass through the mesh electrode without pressure loss.
- the use of star-shaped electrodes and the high speed in the electrode zone reduces the deposition of sticky particles or droplets on the high voltage electrodes.
- the separator is relatively bulky due to the spatial separation of the ionization stage from the collector.

- the exemplary installation of a prefilter 25 is not shown in this figure, but can be taken from the figure 13a.
- FIG. 3 Another, exemplary construction of the compact electrostatic precipitator is shown in FIG.
- This separator has, as already explained in FIG. 3, more than two nozzles, namely two.
- the iso- Latorgepuruse 7 sits as in Figure 4 outside of the separator housing
- the high-voltage insulator 6 is at the bottom of the insulator housing, as indicated in Figure 3, mounted.
- the high voltage grid 28 is attached to the free end of the high voltage insulator and exposed inside the insulator housing.
- the two high voltage bars 5 are suspended from the high voltage grid 28 and project through the bottom plate 9 coaxially into the two grid or wire mesh electrodes 8.
- the high voltage grid 28 is electrically connected to the high voltage feedthrough 13.
- the interior of the insulator housing is through the pipe 15 through the wall of the insulator housing with clean gas, air under pressure and / or tempered Wegbar. Both high-voltage bars 5 are in the area of the two grid or wire mesh electrodes 8 similarly equipped with high voltage electrodes 4, 12.
- the two grid or wire mesh electrodes 8 abut the end face on the gas-impermeable end plate 24 and are fixed there. With their other forehead, the two grid or wire mesh electrodes 8 fit positively in the respective opening of the bottom plate 9 to the interior of the insulator housing 7.
- the nozzle plate 2 is now located in the longitudinal region of the two grid or wire mesh electrodes 8, through which they pass through the respective nozzle 3 positively. As a result, both are additionally fixed. Completely surrounded are both grid or wire mesh electrodes 8 in the region between the face plate 24 and the nozzle plate 2 of the porous collector 11, which is clamped between them.
- the raw gas inlet 18 is located in the bottom plate 9 outside, the clean gas outlet 19 in the jacket wall below the separator housing 1.
- FIG. 4 there are two areas for the two grid or wire mesh electrode 8 of the ionization stage with respect to the gas flow, namely the gas flow inlet region 81 in they and the gas flow exit area 82 from them.
- the gas stream is divided by the ionizer into two branches.
- the gas flow is forced through the separator and leads from the raw gas inlet 18 completely and solely through the ionizer and the collector to the clean gas outlet 19, as indicated by the arrows 16.
- the exemplary, possible installation of a prefilter 25 for separating large particles is indicated as in FIG. 4 in FIG. 13a.
- FIG. 13a In the figures 4 and 5 is indicated in each case that the porous collector 11 is clamped between the nozzle plate 2 and the end plate 24.
- the nozzle plate 2 at its nozzle 3 / its nozzles 3 gasstrom- upwards be surrounded by a ring, which allows a separation and collection of polluted liquid from the gas stream ago, without this at the Grid or wire mesh electrode 8 runs down and dirty them, or the perforations / meshes clogged.
- this contaminated liquid can run off in a targeted manner in the intended area of the separator.
- Figure 13c is gas upstream outlined in the neck and in more detail in Figure 13d as a U-shaped tube 27.
- the compact electrostatic precipitator with the forced gas flow path in it operates as follows:
- the raw gas is introduced via a flanging at the separator channel and flows through the pre-filter to separate coarse particles, collect and discharge from the separator.
- a corona discharge occurs at the sharp edges / tips of the high voltage electrodes.
- the entrained particles in the gas stream are charged there electrically and move to the
- Grid or wire mesh electrode to.
- the particle movement occurs under the influence of the gas-dynamic forces and the electric field in the electrode gap.
- Part of the particles are deposited in the grid or wire mesh electrode.
- the liquid taken there is electrically neutralized due to the reference / ground potential of the grid or wire mesh electrode, runs down it, drips into the separator and is discharged as needed.
- the other part passes through the mesh of the mesh or wire mesh electrode and forms a space charge zone between the mesh or mesh electrode and the porous collector.
- the space charge and the electrostatic forces between the charged particles and the grounded surface of the grid or wire mesh electrode, nozzle plate, bottom plate and porous collector the charged particles accumulate on the grounded surfaces and are electrically neutralized.
- the mixed with the particles of liquid runs off, is collected in the separator in the intended area and discharged as needed.
- This electric field drives the charged particles onto the grid or wire mesh electrode, where they are partially collected, partially penetrate and penetrate into the space between the grid or wire mesh electrode and the porous collector.
- a small portion of the charged particles reaches the upper zone of the grid or wire mesh electrode where the additional high voltage electrode sits next to the bottom plate.
- the corona discharge at the additional high voltage electrode generates an electrical wind which is directed towards the grid or wire mesh electrode.
- the geometry of the electrode gap is chosen such that the speed of the electric wind is equal to or higher than the velocity of the gas gap. Flow is in the upper part of the grid or wire mesh electrode.
- the electric wind protects the high-voltage insulator in the insulator housing, as well as the clean gas introduced into the interior of the insulator housing or the clean air. So it can not penetrate charged particles in the interior of the insulator housing.
- Particles are also deposited on the fixing plate 21 since they are likewise connected to the reference potential or earthed, thus reducing the number of particles that can fly to the insulator housing.
- the fixing plate is mounted at a distance 2d from the passage in the bottom plate, thereby allowing the electric wind to pass at maximum speed in the electrode gap through the grid wire mesh electrode produced by the bottom plate and the fixing plate, thereby blowing off the charged particles become. This situation applies in the two cases that the Gastromweg through the entire grid or wire mesh electrode only in one direction, Figures 1, 2 and 3, or partially opposite, Figures 4 and 5, goes.
- the porous collector may be made of porous materials of different thickness and density. It can be made of different porous materials, dielectric, electrically semiconductive or conductive. Also, the porous material or the mesh or the wire mesh electrode may be provided with additional catalytic additives. The materials must be process-oriented, at least largely process-oriented.
- the dimensions and operation of an existing, compact electrostatic pilot plant include:
- the precipitation efficiency for a single-module, compact electrostatic precipitator is between 92 and 95%, for a two-module between 97 and 99%.
