Definitions
- Electrostatic filter unit for air cleaning device
- the invention relates to an electrostatic filter unit for an air cleaning device, in particular an extractor hood, and an air cleaning device with at least one electrostatic filter unit.
- Air purification devices can be, for example, air purifiers for filtering room air, devices for filtering air sucked into a passenger cabin in the automotive sector, or fume hoods for kitchens, which are, for example, fume hoods. In these air cleaning devices, it is known to filter out liquid and solid contaminants and odors from the contaminated air or from the vapors and vapors produced during cooking.
- Mechanical filters are mostly used for this. For example, expanded metal filters, perforated plate filters, baffle filters, which can also be referred to as eddy current filters, edge suction filters and porous foam media are used as mechanical filters. All of these mentioned filter media filter according to mechanical separation mechanisms such as the diffusion effect, barrier effect and, most importantly, the inertia effect.
- a disadvantage of these filter units is that, in particular, a high flow rate has to be achieved in order to ensure adequate filter efficiency even with smaller particles.
- an extractor hood in which an electrostatic filter unit is used.
- the electrostatic filter unit of this extractor hood consists of plate-shaped separation and counter electrodes as well as wire-shaped ionization electrodes.
- the plate-shaped separator and counter electrodes are connected to one another via electrically conductive webs and are arranged so that the air entering the filter element first flows against the separator electrodes with wire-shaped ionization elements in between and then reaches the counter-electrodes that are offset upwards.
- the separation electrodes are attached to the Housing of the cooker hood attached.
- a high-voltage device is provided in the housing of the extractor hood, which is connected to the electrodes of the filter unit.
- a disadvantage of this filter unit is that it takes up a large amount of space.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a solution by means of which a sufficient filter efficiency can be reliably ensured with a simple structure.
- an electrostatic filter unit for an air cleaning device which comprises an ionization unit and a separation unit with at least one live precipitation electrode and a grounded precipitation electrode.
- the filter unit is characterized in that the at least two precipitation electrodes are air-permeable.
- the electrostatic filter unit is also referred to below as a filter unit or as an electrostatic filter.
- the filter unit has an ionization unit and a separation unit.
- the ionization unit can also be referred to as the ionization area and the separation unit as the separation area.
- the separation unit is connected downstream of the ionization unit in the direction of flow.
- the ionization unit preferably has at least one ionization electrode and at least one counter electrode. Voltage, preferably high voltage, is applied to the ionization electrode.
- a spray electrode by means of a corona discharge.
- the ionization electrode which can represent a wire ionization electrode, is preferably arranged in the ionization unit between two plate-shaped counter-electrodes. This is necessary because, in their original state, the particles usually have no electrical charge or an electrical charge that is insufficient for efficient electrostatic separation.
- the aim of the ionization unit is the electrical particle charging of each individual particle up to a maximum electrical saturation charge.
- the separation unit comprises at least two collecting electrodes, of which at least one is a live collecting electrode and at least one is a grounded collecting electrode.
- the at least two collecting electrodes are preferably arranged parallel to one another.
- the at least one live collecting electrode is under electrical high voltage.
- the grounded precipitation electrode is connected to ground or a protective conductor (PE Protective Earth).
- the collecting electrodes thus build up an electrical field to one another.
- the level or the amount of the electric field strength is largely dependent on the electrical potential, i.e. on the amount of the voltage in kV, the distance between the live and earthed collecting electrodes and the geometric shape of the collecting electrodes.
- the filter unit is characterized in that the collecting electrodes are air-permeable.
- the air flow can not only flow along the collecting electrodes, as in the prior art, but can flow through them. Due to the air permeability of the collecting electrodes, they can serve as mechanical filters. Since the separation unit is located downstream of the ionization unit in the direction of flow, the particles contained in the air enter the separation unit in an electrically charged state. The particles are thus deposited on the collecting electrodes both by the mechanical filter effects and by the electrical charge, that is to say achieved by the electrostatic filter effect.
- the filter efficiency of classic electrostatic filters is significantly dependent on the amount of electrical ionization and separation voltage. If the electronic high-voltage component fails (voltage failure) or if it fails due to a short circuit, the filter capacity is no longer available. In the present invention, however, the mechanical filter mechanisms or filter effects are retained. A total failure of the overall filter performance does not occur.
- particles can at least partially be held in the pores or other air passage openings of the collecting electrodes.
- the direction of flow of the air flowing towards the collecting electrodes is at an angle ⁇ in the range of 0 ⁇ a ⁇ 90 °, for example 45 ° or 90 °, to the surface of the collecting electrodes.
- the collecting electrodes can thus also be flown against in a direction deviating from the vertical.
- the angle between the air flow direction and the surface of the collecting electrodes can be in the range between 0 and 90 °, for example 45 °.
- the precipitation electrodes of the ionization unit are designed as flat plates and are parallel to the air flow direction of the air through the ionization unit, the precipitation electrodes can be transverse and, for example, perpendicular or inclined at an angle of 0 to 90 ° to the counter-electrode (s) of the ionization unit.
- the air flow that enters the separation unit can be guided completely through the collecting electrodes. This further increases the filter efficiency.
- this alignment of the collecting electrodes can minimize the installation space required for the filter unit.
- the height or length of this embodiment of the filter unit according to the invention is less, since the collecting electrodes are transverse in this direction.
- the collecting electrodes are preferably arranged at a short distance from one another. According to one embodiment, adjacent collecting electrodes have a distance d from one another which is greater than or equal to zero. The distance can, for example, be in a range from 0 to 20mm, preferably from 0 to 6mm, 0 to 4mm or 0 to 2mm. According to one embodiment, the collecting electrodes are in contact with one another. In the case of classic electrostatic filters with plate or tube separators in the separation unit, in relative terms, significantly more space is required for the electrostatic filter as a whole and especially for the separation area. In the filter unit according to the invention, the collecting electrodes are air-permeable. The collecting electrodes are preferably air-permeable plates or layers.
- the separation area according to the invention can thus store these particles in addition to being stored in the collecting electrode itself.
- the order of the collecting electrodes in the separation unit can be freely selected.
- a live precipitation electrode on the side of the separation unit facing the ionization unit and through which air enters the separation unit, and then alternately to arrange earthed and live precipitation electrodes.
- a grounded collecting electrode can also be arranged on the side facing the ionization unit as the first collecting electrode and then alternately live and grounded collecting electrodes can be arranged.
- at least two collecting electrodes that are adjacent to one another are live or that at least two collecting electrodes that are adjacent to one another are grounded collecting electrodes.
- two or more grounded collecting electrodes can be arranged between two live collecting electrodes.
- At least one of the collecting electrodes has an electrical insulation coating.
- the electrical insulation coating preferably consists of a dielectric.
- the insulation coating can be applied to the collecting electrodes by means of powder coating, dip painting or another coating process.
- the respective collecting electrode is preferably completely electrically insulated, the insulation coating being left out at the electrical contact point required in each case for applying voltage to the collecting electrode. In this way, electrical short circuits and associated voltage drops between the individual, alternating live collecting electrodes can be avoided.
- all precipitation electrodes of the separation unit can be provided with an insulation coating.
- the live collecting electrodes are preferably electrically insulated.
- the particles are charged in the ionization unit. If a positively charged particle hits a grounded collecting electrode, it should also be able to release its charge again, otherwise the electric field between the layers will be weakened over time.
- the live collecting electrodes have an insulating coating in the embodiment mentioned, an electrical short circuit between the live and grounded collecting electrodes can be prevented even if the collecting electrodes are close to one another or if they are in contact with one another.
- the collecting electrodes consist of air-permeable material.
- the collecting electrodes are also referred to as porous collecting electrodes.
- the Collecting electrodes can all consist of the same air-permeable material.
- different collecting electrodes consist of different materials.
- the advantage of using air-permeable material for the collecting electrodes is that, on the one hand, the production of the electrostatic filter is facilitated, since the required air-permeability is provided by the material itself.
- the openings in the material have a small size, whereby an efficient separation of particles can be guaranteed due to the mechanical separation effect.
- the collecting electrodes consist of an air-impermeable material with at least one air passage opening. It is also possible that only some of the collecting electrodes, for example only the live or only the grounded collecting electrodes, consist of such a material and the other collecting electrodes consist of air-permeable material. Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, for only the first precipitation electrode, that is to say facing the ionization unit, to consist of an air-impermeable material with air passage openings.
- the air-impermeable material can for example be a sheet metal.
- the air passage openings can, for example, be holes that are punched into the sheet metal or made in some other way. In particular, the air-impermeable material with air passage openings can be expanded metal.
- the material of the at least one collecting electrode can therefore be, for example, wire mesh, in particular welding mesh.
- the material of the at least one collecting electrode can also be expanded metal, wire mesh, fiber material, fleece, perforated plate, sintered plastic or foam.
- the material of a precipitation electrode which consists of an air-impermeable material with at least one air passage opening, can be selected such that it has at least one edge, point or corner at the air passage opening.
- the electric field strength increases at sharp edges, points or corners of the material of the collecting electrode. In these areas, that is, at the edges, points or corners, the electric fields are therefore very inhomogeneous, which leads to leads to a multiplication of the homogeneous electric field strength. As a result, the charged particle is exposed to a relatively higher field strength and is deposited more efficiently on the respective collecting electrodes.
- the material of the collecting electrode is preferably chosen so that it does not have any sharp edges, points or corners.
- a wire mesh can be used as the material for the collecting electrode. It has been shown that with such a material, which has rounded cross-sections, for example circular cross-sections, an efficient deposition of particles on the collecting electrodes can also be achieved.
- the relative arrangement of the individual collecting electrodes to one another is preferably such that the air passage openings or pores present in the respective collecting electrode are offset from the air passage openings or pores of the next collecting electrode. This means that both the mechanical and the electrostatic filter mechanisms can be used.
- At least two collecting electrodes are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that their structure is rotated about an axis in the plane of the collecting electrode.
- the structure of the collecting electrodes is the arrangement of the air passage openings in the collecting electrode.
- the air passage openings In the case of an expanded metal, the air passage openings have an elongated shape, for example.
- a collecting electrode is aligned so that the longitudinal extent of the air passage openings in this collecting electrode is rotated to the direction of the longitudinal extent in a further, preferably adjacent collecting electrode.
- the invention relates to an air cleaning device which has at least one electrostatic filter unit according to the invention.
- Advantages and features that are described with regard to the electrostatic filter unit apply - if applicable - correspondingly to the air cleaning device and vice versa.
- the air cleaning device can be, for example, an air cleaner for filtering room air, a device for filtering air sucked into a passenger cabin in the automotive sector or an extractor hood for kitchens.
- the air cleaning device can have a plurality of electrostatic filter units according to the invention.
- the at least one electrostatic filter unit is preferably arranged on the suction side of the air cleaning device.
- the air cleaning device represents an extractor hood and the at least one electrostatic filter unit is arranged at the air inlet opening of the extractor hood.
- the at least one electrostatic filter unit is arranged at the air inlet opening of the extractor hood.
- particles which for example consist of fat.
- the arrangement of the electrostatic filter unit at the air inlet opening prevents these particles from getting into the interior of the extractor hood and possibly contaminating the fan there.

- the filter unit according to the invention represents a combination of a mechanical filter according to the filter mechanisms already mentioned and the electrostatic filter mechanism.

- the collecting electrodes used according to the invention can in principle be any material / medium that is air-permeable. Wire mesh, fiber materials and fleeces, perforated metal sheets, expanded metals, sintered plastics and foam can be considered here as examples. If porous plastic media are used, they must be electrically conductive or electrically conductive with regard to their specific properties so that an electrical field can build up between the individual layers.
- the collecting electrodes should preferably rest on top of one another (in order to use the mechanical and electrostatic filter mechanisms efficiently and to save installation space), but can also be arranged at any distance from one another in the direction of flow. With regard to the sequence, the first collecting electrode arranged in the flow direction can represent either a live or a grounded collecting electrode.
- the number of collecting electrodes which can also be referred to as filter layers, is> 2 and depends on the required filter efficiency.
- the electric field lines always exit or re-enter an area orthogonally. If a charged particle flies through the separation area, it is separated by mechanical and electrostatic separation mechanisms depending on its polarity on the live or earthed collecting electrodes. Positively charged particles are deposited on the grounded collecting electrode and negatively charged particles on the live collecting electrode. The amount of electrical voltage difference between the live and earthed
