`.6 Claims (Cl. 18S-7) The present invention relates to gas cleaning and more particularly to 4an .improved system utilizing an electrostatic precipitator.
ln the Karlsson patent, No. 2,582,133 issued January 8, 1952, there is disclosed an electrostatic precipitator 1n which dust-laden gases are passed over charged electrodes which are continuously cleaned by a stream of air or other uid by means of a cleaning apparatus which moves relatively to the bank of collecting electrodes. The eflciency of such precipitators is dependent upon maintaining the dust particles at a high temperature to 'avoid moisture pickup. To attain this end the present invention contemplates that the stream of cleaning air be maintained at a desired high temperature. The invention further contemplates that the volume of pressurized cleaning air be continuously recirculated through the precipitator and an after collector where dust blown from the precipitator electrodes is removed before return of the cleaning air to the precipitator. To avoid a dust build-up in the cleaning air stream, the invention also contemplates that a portion of the cleaning air be bled off and replaced by fresh heated air which serves to maintain the desired temperature for the stream of cleaning air.
The invention will be best understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment thereof when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which the single figure is a diagrammatic representation of a system for cleaning dust-laden gases in which the present invention is embodied.
In the drawing, the numeral designates an electrostatic precipitator through which dust-laden gases as from a furnace are introduced through the duct 11 and wherein the charged electrodes 12 remove the dust particles before the stream of hot gases in discharged through the duct 13 to pass through the gas side of a rotary regenerative air preheater 14. According to the present invention the dust particles deposited on the collecting surfaces are blown off by a stream of high velocity hot air which enters the precipitator through the duct and is fed to a rotary nozzle arrangement 21 with the dust particles that are removed being discharged into a hopper 22 and passed through a duct 23 to a cyclone type after-collector 24 wherein the dust particles carried by the cleaning air stream are disentrained. The cleaned hot air is drawn from the after-collector 24 through a duct 25 by fan 26 whose outlet supplies the duct 20 leading to the precipitator, the arrangement described thus forming a closed circuit. To maintain the stream of cleaning air entering the precipitator at the desired high temperature, a fresh supply of clean hot air is taken from the air outlet duct of the rotary air heater 14 and supplied to the inlet of fan 26 through the duct 31. In order to main tain a substantially constant volume of recycled cleaning air owing through the ducts 20 and 23, it is necessary to remove an amount commensurate with that which enters the system through the duct 31. For this purpose a duct 33 connecting into duct 20 bleeds off a small volume of air and carries it to the air inlet duct 34 of the air heater 14 where it serves to raise the temperature of the cold entering air sufficiently to assist in protecting the elements of the air heater 14 by minimizing condensation on the elements at the cold end of the preheater and thus prevent deposit of moisture from the gas stream which would tend to induce the collection of undesirable deposits from the gases. Hot air recirculating duct 35 i 2,701,622 Patented Feb. 8, 1955 ice connected between ducts '30 and 33 provides a further means of raising the temperature of air entering the preheater.
The continuously cleaned precipitator is purged of .de-
posits by a high velocity stream of air which moves -with relation to the ycollecting surfaces and both removes the collected dust and .transports it out of the unit and into the after-collector where it is removed. The success of the precipitator depends on keeping the dust at a high temperature to avoid vmoisture pick up S0 :it is rdesirable to avoid any drop kin Vtemperature such as might result if air at a lower ytemperature were used.
The system disclosed herein vuses a closed cleaning cycle with a constant volume of cleaning air being continuously recirculated through the .precipitator 10 by its own fan. However, since the after-collector 24 is not efficient on small particles, a dust 'buildup would take place in the `cleaningair stream. To avoid this, a small Aportion of additional or `make up air is kled from the secondary air duct to the cleaning fan inlet and an equal portion is bled from the fan discharge. All or a portion of this bled oi air may be reintroduced before the air preheater where it raises the air inlet temperature and protects the cold end of the preheater.
