Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass das zu reinigende Gas durch das durchströmbare Filtermaterial strömt und somit der Abstand zwischen den Partikeln und der Abscheideelektrode äußerst gering ist, so dass die Reinigungsleistung gesteigert wird. Durch die Kombination einer mechanischen Filterung und einer Filterung nach dem Prinzip des Elektrofilters kann somit die Filterung verbessert werden. Zur Abreinigung muss nur das durchströmbare Filtermaterial der Abscheideelektrode gereinigt werden.According to the invention, the deposition electrode is formed as a flow-through conductive filter material for the mechanical filtering of particles. This ensures that the gas to be purified flows through the filter material which can be flowed through, and thus the distance between the particles and the separation electrode is extremely small, so that the cleaning performance is increased. The combination of a mechanical filtering and filtering according to the principle of the electrostatic filter can thus improve the filtering. For cleaning only the through-flowable filter material of the separation electrode must be cleaned.

Filterelemente aus Edelstählen hergestelltIn contrast to the known electrostatic precipitators, the separation electrodes made of conductive materials are flowed through by the gas to be purified in the novel electrostatic precipitators and in particular cleaned by means of pneumatic backwashing. The deposition electrodes or filter elements can consist of multilayer fabrics, nonwovens, porous materials or fillings. Preferably, the deposition electrodes or filter elements are made of stainless steels
Vorzugsweise weist die Abscheideelektrode ein leitfähiges Filtergewebe und/oder ein leitfähiges Filtervlies auf, auch andere poröse/durchström bare leitfähige Materialien aus Granulaten oder Spänen hergestellt, sind denkbar Die Abscheideelektroden/Filterelemente können dabei aus Metall, insbesondere Edelstahl, hergestellt sein. Dadurch lässt sich die Abscheideelektrode auch bei hohen Temperaturen, insbesondere zur Reinigung von Verbrennungsgasen, einsetzen. Das Filtermaterial kann dabei aus Fasern, Granulaten oder Spänen hergestellt sein, die eine Dicke von kleiner als 2mm oder 0,5 mm, insbesondere kleiner als 0,3 mm, aufweisen. Solche Fasern, Drähte, Granulat oder Späne können zu einem Filtermaterial verarbeitet sein, dessen Maschenweite oder Porengröße kleiner 2mm, insbesondere kleiner 0,6 mm, beispielsweise kleiner 0,3 mm, ist, so dass auch kleinere Partikel schon mechanisch gefiltert werden.Preferably, the deposition electrode has a conductive filter fabric and / or a conductive filter fleece, and other porous / durchström bare conductive materials made from granules or chips are conceivable The deposition / filter elements can be made of metal, especially stainless steel. As a result, the deposition electrode can also be used at high temperatures, in particular for the purification of combustion gases.

Such fibers, wires, granules or chips can be processed into a filter material whose mesh size or pore size is less than 2 mm, in particular less than 0.6 mm, for example less than 0.3 mm, so that even smaller particles are already mechanically filtered.
Das Filtermaterial kann mehrere Lagen mit einem leitfähigen Filtergewebe und/oder einem leitfähiges Filtervlies aufweisen. Die Lagen können eine unterschiedliche oder gleiche Durchlässigkeit für Gase besitzen. Die Durchlässigkeit kann sich von außen nach innen reduzieren. Die Lagen können beispielsweise aus Drahtgewebe mit gleicher oder unterschiedlicher Maschenweite bestehen.The filter material may comprise a plurality of layers with a conductive filter fabric and / or a conductive filter fleece. The layers may have different or equal permeability to gases. The permeability can be reduced from the outside to the inside. The layers may for example consist of wire mesh with the same or different mesh size.
Das Filtermaterial weist vorzugsweise eine Dicke von mehr als 2mm, insbesondere zwischen 5 mm und 30 mm, auf. Dadurch wird das zu reinigende Gas durch ein dickes Filtermaterial geleitet, an dem eine Abscheidung der Partikel erfolgt.The filter material preferably has a thickness of more than 2 mm, in particular between 5 mm and 30 mm. As a result, the gas to be purified is passed through a thick filter material, at which a deposition of the particles takes place.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Filtermaterial schlauch-, taschenförmig oder haubenförmig ausgebildet sein. Hierfür kann das Filtermaterial der Abscheideelektrode an formstabilen Stützkörpern, wie Körben, gehalten sein, um eine definierte Position innerhalb des Strömungsraumes einzunehmen. Auch die Herstellung von selbsttragenden Filterelementen ist denkbar, beispielsweise aus einem eigensteifen Drahtgewebe.

For this purpose, the filter material of the deposition electrode can be held on dimensionally stable support bodies, such as baskets, in order to assume a defined position within the flow space. The production of self-supporting filter elements is conceivable, for example, a self-rigid wire mesh. As a result, both the function of the electrostatic precipitator and the cleaning can be optimized.
Für die Abreinigung wird ein Einblasen eines Reinigungsgases im Gegenstrombetrieb genutzt. Der Strömungsraum wird im Bereich des Filtermaterials von dem zu reinigenden Gas in eine erste Richtung durchströmt, wobei das Filtermaterial von einem Reinigungsgas entgegen dieser Strömungsrichtung in eine zweite Richtung durchströmt werden kann, so dass sich an dem Filtermaterial abgeschiedene Partikel bei einer pneumatischen Reinigung lösen und gesammelt werden können. Dies führt zu dem Vorteil, dass die einmal abgeschiedenen Partikel nicht beim Reinigungsvorgang durch den Strömungsraum zur Reingasseite geleitet werden, sondern wieder in den Raum, in dem das Rohgas vorhanden ist. Eine solche pneumatische Reinigung kann in regelmäßigen Intervallen erfolgen, wobei auch eine automatische Abreinigung möglich ist. Eine solche Abreinigung kann gleichzeitig für sämtliche schlauch-, taschen- oder haubenförmigen Filterelemente in dem Strömungsraum erfolgen oder auch nur für einzelne Untergruppen von Filterelementen.For cleaning a blowing in of a cleaning gas is used in countercurrent operation. The flow space is traversed in the region of the filter material by the gas to be cleaned in a first direction, wherein the filter material can be flowed through by a cleaning gas against this flow direction in a second direction, so that detached and collected on the filter material deposited particles in a pneumatic cleaning can be. This leads to the advantage that the once deposited particles are not passed during the cleaning process through the flow space to the clean gas side, but again in the space in which the raw gas is present. Such a pneumatic cleaning can be done at regular intervals, with an automatic cleaning is possible. Such cleaning can be carried out simultaneously for all hose, bag or hood-shaped filter elements in the flow space or even for individual subgroups of filter elements.
Die schlauch-, taschen- oder haubenförmigen Filterelemente können vertikal hängend oder horizontal liegend gehalten oder freitragend oder auch in einem Winkel zwischen vertikal und horizontal in dem Strömungsraum angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Filterelemente in einem Winkel zwischen 15° und 45°, insbesondere ca. 30° aus der Vertikalen ausgelenkt angeordnet. Die Anströmung durch das Rohgas wird so gestaltet, dass eine fallende Strömung im Filtergehäuse realisiert wird (Down Flow Prinzip).The tubular, pocket or hood-shaped filter elements can be kept vertically suspended or horizontally lying or cantilevered or even arranged at an angle between vertically and horizontally in the flow space. Preferably, the filter elements are arranged at an angle between 15 ° and 45 °, in particular about 30 ° deflected from the vertical. The flow through the raw gas is designed so that a falling flow is realized in the filter housing (down flow principle).
Ferner ist in dem Strömungsraum beabstandet zu den schlauchförmigen Abscheideelektroden eine Vielzahl von Sprühelektroden in Form von Sprühdrähten angeordnet. Die Sprühelektroden können dabei zwischen Isolatoren in dem Strömungsraum gespannt sein und in einem definierten Abstand, beispielsweise zwischen 3 cm und 30 cm, beabstandet von den Abscheideelektroden vorgesehen werden. Die Sprühelektroden können dabei parallel zu der Längsachse der Filterelemente oder auch winklig dazu ausgerichtet sein, insbesondere auch rechtwinklig.Further, in the flow space spaced from the tubular deposition electrodes, a plurality of spray electrodes in the form of spray wires arranged. The spray electrodes can be stretched between insulators in the flow space and provided at a defined distance, for example between 3 cm and 30 cm, spaced from the deposition electrodes. The spray electrodes may be aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the filter elements or at an angle thereto, in particular also at right angles.

Eine Vorrichtung 1 zum Reinigen von Gasen umfasst einen Filterbehälter 2, an dem ein Einlass 3 für ein zu reinigendes Gas ausgebildet ist. In dem Filterbehälter 2 ist ein Strömungsraum 4 ausgebildet, in dem eine Vielzahl von Sprühelektroden 20 und Abscheideelektroden 5 angeordnet ist. Die Abscheideelektroden 5 sind als durchströmbares Filtermaterial ausgebildet, insbesondere aus einem Filtergewebe und/oder einem Filtervlies, Granulat oder Spänen aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen Material. Vorzugsweise werden für das Filtermaterial metallische Materialien eingesetzt, beispielsweise Edelstahl. Das Filtermaterial kann dabei aus Fasern, Drähten, Granulaten oder Spänen hergestellt sein, die eine Dicke von 0,1 bis 2mm, insbesondere zwischen 0,1 mm und 0,2 mm, aufweisen. Die Dicke des Filtermaterials liegt vorzugsweise in einem Bereich zwischen 2 mm und 30 mm, wobei das Filtermaterial ein oder mehrlagig angeordnet werden kann, insbesondere können auch 2 bis 15 Lagen aus Filtermaterial verwendet werden. Wenn ein gitterförmiges Filtermaterial, beispielsweise ein Filtergewebe, eingesetzt wird, kann die Maschenweite in einem Bereich zwischen 0,2mm und 10mm, insbesondere 1mm bis 5mm liegen.A
Die Abscheideelektroden 5 aus dem Filtermaterial sind dabei schlauch-, taschen- oder haubenförmig ausgebildet und werden von außen nach innen von dem zu reinigenden Gas durchströmt. Dabei sind die Abscheideelektroden 5 an ihrer Unterseite geschlossen ausgebildet, während sie an ihrer Oberseite an einer Zwischenwand 7 in dem Filterbehälter 2 an einem rohrförmigen Halter 8 hängend gelagert sind. Die schlauchförmigen Abscheideelektroden 5 werden somit von außen nach innen durchströmt, wobei das gereinigte Gas durch die rohrförmigen Halter 8 zu einem Auslass 6 an dem Filterbehälter 2 strömt.The
Beabstandet von den Abscheideelektroden 5 sind eine Vielzahl von Sprühelektroden 20 in Form vom Sprühdrähten vorgesehen, die jeweils zwischen dem Isolator 21 und dem Isolator 22 gespannt und beabstandet von den Abscheideelektroden 5 positioniert sind, beispielsweise in einem Abstand zwischen 1 cm und 30 cm, insbesondere 3 cm bis 10 cm. Der Isolator 21 kann über einen Halter 24 an der Zwischenwand 7 fixiert sein, während der Isolator 22 an einem Halter 23 fixiert ist, der an dem Filterbehälter 2 festgelegt ist.Spaced apart from the
Damit die Abscheideelektroden 5 im durchströmten Zustand in einer vorbestimmten Position in dem Strömungsraum 4 angeordnet bleiben, sind die Abscheideelektroden 5 mit dem Filtermaterial an formstabilen Stützkörpern gehalten, beispielsweise an Körben, an denen das Filtermaterial festgelegt ist. Dadurch werden Bewegungen relativ zu den Sprühelektroden 20 weitgehend vermieden.So that the
Um die Abscheideelektroden 5 zu reinigen, ist oberhalb des rohrförmigen Halters 8 ein Reinigungsrohr 9 vorgesehen, in dem Düsen 10 vorgesehen sind, deren Öffnung zu den rohrförmigen Haltern 8 gerichtet ist. Durch die Düsen 10 kann ein Reinigungsgas somit in die einzelnen schlauchförmigen -, taschen- oder haubenförmigen Abscheideelektroden 5 eingeblasen werden, wobei das Reinigungsgas entgegen der Strömungsrichtung des zu reinigenden Gases durch das Filtermaterial geblasen wird. Durch den Reinigungsvorgang werden die abgeschiedenen Partikel an den Abscheideelektroden 5 an einem Trichter 11 an der Unterseite des Filterbehälters 2 gesammelt und über eine Zellenradschleuse 12 oder eine andere Einrichtung entsorgt.In order to clean the
Das Reinigungsgas wird in das Reinigungsrohr 9 durch einen Druckbehälter 13 gespeist, der über einen Kompressor 14 aufladbar ist. Als Reinigungsgas kann beispielsweise Luft eingesetzt werden, wobei eine Steuerung 15 vorgesehen ist, um den Reinigungsvorgang in bestimmten Intervallen zu wiederholen. Hierfür können über Leitungen 16 und 17 Druckmessungen durchgeführt werden, um den Druck in dem Filterbehälter 2 auf der Reingasseite und der Rohgasseite zu ermitteln und dadurch einen eventuellen Verstopfungsgrad zu detektieren. Auch weitere Parameter können für die Steuerung 15 für die Reinigung herangezogen werden. Durch das schlagartige Einblasen eines Reinigungsgases durch das Reinigungsrohr und die Düsen 10 können an der Abscheideelektrode 5 anhaftende Partikel entgegen der Strömungsrichtung weggeblasen werden, damit sie in dem Trichter 11 gesammelt werden. Der Druck und das Volumen des eingeblasenen Reinigungsgases können abhängig von der Größe der Abscheideelektroden 5 und des Filterbehälters 2 gewählt werden.The cleaning gas is fed into the
