NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNQRS TO RESEARCH CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CO3- PORATION OF NEW YORK APPARATUS FOR ELECTRICAL PRECIPITATION Original application filed November 28,
t 1929. Serial This invention relates to the art of electrically precipitating suspended particles from gases, and while applicable to a number of dust cleaning problems, is primarily adapted for the removal of ash and other suspended matter from the gaseous products of combustion from boilers fired with powdered fuel. This problem involves the separation of large quantities of refuse material from great volumes of gas which vary w dely in amount due to fluctuations in power loads. As much as possible is collected in a dry state to facilitate handling and removal. Furthermore it is desirable to maintain gas temperatures in order to provide sufficient stack draft and thereby reduce fan operating costs. This type of gas, moreover, may contain a certaln .percentage of sulfurous gases, so that the use of water in cleaning these gases must be controlled to minimize corrosion of metal parts of the apparatus.
" In the use 0f electrical precipitators for steam plants of the kind described it has been found that there is a certain critical velocity above which effective precipitation falls off very rapidly, due largely to the presence in the combustion gases of grit and unconsumed coal which are not retained at the collecting electrode, as commonly used, but travel along its surface. This content of grit and combustible matter, as well as the volume of the gas, increases at peak loads, and the electrical precipitators must he designed to take care of the maximum or peak load conditions.
In order to take care of these-conditions, we subject the gases first to the action of electrical precipitation conditions in the absence of flushin liquid, and then subject the gases from w iich themore finely divided particles have been removed, to further electrical precipitating conditions, including the use of liquid flushed collecting electrodes to thereby recover whatever suspended matter has escaped collection at the surface of the dry collecting electrodes. We contemplate the use of water as a flushing liquid, although it will be obvious that other flushing liquids may be used.
1927, Serial No. 236,835. Divided and this application filed Kay L water (see Burns Patent No. 1,250,088, De
cember 11, 1917), but under these conditions a sludge of water and precipitated material is formed which is troublesome to handle. We have found that this sludge is. caused principally' by the mixture of water and the very fine suspended particles of the gas, whereas, in a mixture of water and coarser particles, no sludge is formed, the precipitated matter sett-ling to the bottom of the container. Accordmg to our invention the bulk of the fine material is eliminated in a dry precipitator and the disadvantages of wet precipitators are,
obviated. d
Due to the necessary use of pipes for conducting the flushing liquids to the wet collecting electrodes, the usual system of suspension of the discharge electrodes is' not well adapted to the above-described, structure and as part of this invention we have devised a of flushed collecting novel supporting system for these electrodes.
Although this system is particularly well adapted for use with a wet precipitator, it Wlll be understood that it is not limited to use with a wet unit, but may be advantageously applied to any form of dry or wet unit. In this type of suspension, cleaning of the discharge electrodes is facilitated.
The invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig; 1 is a. diagrammatic elevation of an electrical precipitation system having both dry and wet sections;
Figs. 2 to 6 are illustrations of various forms of collecting electrode units; and
Figs. 2a to 60 show corresponding horizontal cross-sections;
Fig. 7 shows modified forms of electrode units Fig. 8 is a section on plane 88 of Fig. 7 Figs. 9" and 10 are elevation and crosssection of a modification;
" tion may be the well-known type of electrical precipitator comprising a series of discharge electrodes 2, mounted in a frame 3, supported on insulators 5, and located between collecting plate electrodes 4:.
It will be noted, however, that the suspension for the discharge electrodes 2 is not of the conventional type but involves structural features which are particularly advantageous. The wires 2 are attached to rigid bell-crank members 21, said members being pivoted to the frame 3 at points 22. One end of the last electrode 2 is connected directly to the frame 3, as shown at 23, while one end of the first electrode is connected to a bell-crank supportinga weight 24. By this construction it will be seen that wire electrodes 2 are held taut by the weight 24. In this section the bulk of the finely divided suspended material is precipitated from the hot gases and drops down into a hopper. K
The hot gases then pass into the wet section, which has discharge electrodes mounted on the frame 6 and located between collecting electrodes 7, which may be of any suitable type such as flat or corrugated plates, but are here shown as made up of units 12, to be later described. These collecting electrodes are flushed with water, or other suitable liquid, by means of a pump-8 which delivers the liquid from the bottom of the section to a header 9, to which are connected the hollow units of the collecting electrode, the liquid passing upward through these hollow units, overflowing at the top, and then flowing down over the outside of the unit's.
The discharge electrodes of this wet section are suspended similarly to those of the dry section, this method of suspension being peculiarly advantageous in a wet section. As seen in Fig. 1, it is necessary forthe main feed pipes 9, at the bottom, to be much larger than the vertical pipes 12 which form the collecting electrodes. If the water level is below these main feed pipes, it means that the discharge electrode wires'must pass these pipes much closer than the normal gap between the discharge electrodes and s the streams of water, which would, of course, result in heavy discharges at these points. By the construction as shown, the water level eaaoaa is above the main feed pipe 9, and lever arms v 21 project toward the water level but properly spaced therefrom to avoid excessive arcing. An even tension is thus placed on all the discharge wires.
Another advantage particularly useful with a. wet section is that corona discharge will take place from the sharp points at the bottom of the lever arms to the surface of the water, thus giving an effective precipitation along the water level. Sneakage of the gas alon the surface of the water is thus eliminated and a high gas velocity may be maintained here also.
Another'advantage of the lever-arm suspension of discharge wires, whether applied to wet or dry sect-ions, is that the wires are prevented from swaying. When each dis- L charge electrode 1s weighted 1t is necessary streams which trap the deposited particles constitute but a minor portion of the total collecting surface. As shown in Figs. 2 and 2a, the units 12 may take the form of hollow pipes which, as shown in Fig. 1, have the wash liquid forced upwardly through the units to overflow at their openupper ends, thus wetting the entire surface of the pipe. In Fig. 3, the pipe is provided with a cap iorFbetter water distribution over the pipe.
11 1 side with their tops inclined so that the water will flow down the narrow channel or groove between the pipes, as indicated. Fig. 5 shows a special shape of pipe giving the same result as in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is like Fig. 4 except that the pipes are elliptical in cross-section. These units may be made of any suitable material, such as metal, concrete or earthenware; and they may be arranged either side by side, as shown in Fig. 1, or spaced apart as shown in Fig. 7.
The structure shown in Figs. 7 and 8 includes alternately arranged rod units 12 of substantially circular cross-section, and units 12a of sub-circular section with shallow grooves. This arrangement is advantageous when a relatively large part, but less than the entire collecting electrode surface, is to be wetted to entrap the particles which tend to move along the collecting electrode with the moving gas stream. The arrangement shown in Figs. 9 and 10 includes rod units 12 which have their upper ends cutback, as indicated 4, two pipes are arranged side by are, so constructed or arranged that the water at 12?), to ermit water from the upper headfeed pipes, as shown in the Burns patent.
