  • the present invention relates to electrostatic dust separators of the kind comprising an axial high voltage electrode disposed in a Venturi unit so as to ionize the dust particles in suspension in the gas which flows through the said unit, the said particles being thereafter electrostatically separated from the gas itself.
  • an electrostatic dust separator of the kind above referred to comprises means disposed downstream of the Venturi unit for producing in the gas stream which issues from the said unit a spray of particles of an auxiliary substance, these particles being appropriately electrified so as to attract and to retain the ionized dust particles in suspension in the gas stream.
  • the auxiliary substance which may be a divided solid or preferably a liquid such as water, may be sprayed around a polarizing electrode disposed in the gas stream.
  • the axial ionizing electrode is conveniently formed of a rod provided with thin radially extending longitudinal fins between which the gas stream may circulate so as to dislodge any dust particle which could have settled on the said electrode, while the polarizing electrode is preferably made of a mere smooth rod.
  • a portion of the gas issuing from the outlet of the Venturi unit is preferably recycled into the inlet thereof in order that the ionized dust particles entrained by the recycled gas may form nuclei adapted to attract and to retain the dust particles in suspension in the untreated gas.
  • FIG. 1 is a general vertical section of an electrostatic dust separator according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 reproduces to an enlarged scale the upper portion of FIG. 1, but showing the butterfly valve at its transverse position.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sections taken along lines III-III and IV-IV ofFIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but illustrating a modified embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 is a transverse section taken along line VI-VI of FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 7 is a vertical section showing the lower portion of another embodiment of the invention.
  • the electrostatic dust separator illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a vertical cylindrical casing 1 having at its upper end a converging injector nozzle 2.
  • This injector nozzle opens in front of the converging inlet 3 of a conduit comprising a neck portion 4 followed by a diverging portion 5, the said conduit thus forming a Venturi unit which is axially maintained within the outer casing 1 by radial arms such as 6.
  • An insulating cross-member 7 is provided in the vicinity of the lower end or outlet of Venturi unit 3-4-5.
  • This crossmember carries two vertical axial electrodes 8 and 9. The first one extends upwardly through the Venturi unit and it terminates in the vicinity of the neck of the said unit, while the other one 9 extends downwardly well below the lower end thereof.
  • the first electrode 8, or ionizing electrode is formed of a rod provided with a relatively large number of longitudinal radial fins 10 of quite reduced thickness which therefore have a relatively sharp outer edge. These fins may for instance be mounted in longitudinal slots milled in the periphery of the rod and in which they are retained by soldering or otherwise.
  • the second electrode 9, or polarizing electrode it is formed of a smooth rod of relatively large diameter, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
  • annular nozzle 11 carried by a tube 12 which extends through the conical bottom 13 of the casing, its outer end 14 being adapted to be connected with an appropriate supply.
  • the nozzle 11 is so arranged as to produce a slightly diverging annular spray, concentric to the lower electrode 9 without any intermediate screen and at a relatively small distance thereof. This spray strikes the casing wall, as indicated at 15.
  • the spraying nozzle 11 is supplied with an appropriate liquid under pressure, as for instance water, it being however noted that it would also be possible to spray solid particles in suspension in a gas such as air.
  • the nozzle, the liquid or the pulverized solid arc electrically conducting and the nozzle is grounded.
  • the bottom 13 of casing 1 has a lower outlet 16 closed by an appropriate air-lock device, while a lateral exhaust 17 is provided somewhat above the said bottom.
  • the upper nozzle 2 is equipped with a valve 18 of the butterfly type, pivoted about a transverse horizontal axis, this valve, of circular contour, being of such diameter that at the horizontal position (see FIG. 2), it does not fully close the nozzle but leaves an annular gas passage 19 between its periphery and the inner side of this nozzle.
  • Both electrodes 8 and 9 are connected by means (not illustrated) with an appropriate high voltage source, also not shown.
  • the dust-laden gas enters the apparatus through nozzle 2, valve 18 being fully open as illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • This gas flows downwardly in the form of a jet through the converging portion 3, the neck 4 and the diverging portion 5.
  • the gaseous mass thus realized flows downwardly at a high velocity along the ionizing electrode 8, the water vapor contained by the gas condensing on the dust particles in the neck portion 4, in a per se known manner.
  • the high voltage applied to electrode 8 results in a sparkless electric discharge of the type generally called corona effect, between this electrode and the surrounding walls of the Venturi, whereby the suspended particles are strongly ionized.
  • a substantial portion of the gas issuing from the lower end of the Venturi unit 3-4-5 is recycled upwardly between the said unit and easing 1, together with the suspended particles, due to the injector effect of the jet from nozzle 2.
  • the gaseous mass which flows through the Venturi unit is thus, so to speak, inseminated with already ionized particles which play the role of nuclei on which the other particles tend to agglomerate. This progressive growdi of the suspended particles facilitates their separation.
  • the ionization effects within the Venturi unit 3-4-5 are extremely rapid.
  • the velocity of the gas flow through the latter may therefore be quite high.
  • the production of filtered gas is thus important and moreover the dust particles cannot settle on the inner walls of the Venturi, which eliminates the frequent cleaning operations generally required in conventional electrostatic separators.
  • the gas stream may freely circulate between the successive radial fins where dust particles cannot therefore be retained.
  • the recycled gas stream is submitted to a sudden change of direction at the outlet of the Venturi unit 3-4-5, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 1.
  • This entails a quite noticeable centrifugal acceleration which tends to separate the biggest particles from this stream.
  • the zone immediately below the Venturi unit acts as a centrifugal separator for the particles in the recycled gas stream, those which have grown by collecting and retaining smaller particles within the Venturi, being selectively projected downwardly towards the spraying nozzle 1 1.
  • the butterfly valve 18 is of no use when the flow (quantity per unit of time) of dust-laden gas to be filtered is substantially constant.
  • the inlet portion or the neck of the Venturi unit could be provided with helicoidal vanes imparting to the gas stream a rotational motion of high angular velocity in order to separate the biggest particles.
  • the fins should also be helicoidal so as not to hinder circulation of the gas between them also care would have to be taken that the vanes do not short-circuit the axial electrode (the latter could be of reduced length or the vanes could be made of an insulating material).
  • the apparatus could comprise a lower settling chamber of large volume for a better separation of the coarse particles from the gas before the latter reaches the outlet 17.
  • the spray of electrified particles below the Venturi unit could be realized in any appropriate manner.
  • the inner side of the walls of the Venturi unit 34-5 could be provided with fins or blades in order to enhance ionization of the incoming dust particles. In some cases the recycling could be dispensed with.
  • the Venturi unit 3-4-5 is surrounded by an intermediate cylindrical casing 20 of substantially larger diameter (about twice the diameter of the neck portion 4 of the Venturi), this intermediate casing being spaced from the main outer casing 1 so as to leave an annular passage for the recycled gas stream.
  • the upper and lower edges of this intermediate casing 20 are joined with the upper and, respectively, the lower end of the Venturi so as to form therewith a single member enclosing an inner closed annular space, this member being supported by the radial arms 6.
  • Radial partitions such as 21 are disposed within the said closed space between the Venturi unit 3-4-5 and the intermediate casing 20.
  • These partitions, as well as the intermediate casin g, the Venturi unit itself and the supporting arms 6 are made of a conducting material such as a metal.
  • the closed space may further be filled with a conducting substance such as water.
  • Venturi unit 345 is only connected electrically with the intermediate casing 20 which is itself grounded through arms 6.
  • the Venturi unit 3-4-5 becomes electrified by influence, which means that electric charges of a polarity opposed to that of electrode 8 appear on its inner surface, while charges of the other polarity flow freely from the Venturi unit towards the intermediate casing 20 through the radial partitions 21 (and also through the conducting substance which fills the hollow space between the Venturi and the intermediate casing when such a filling is provided).
  • the electrostatic field which appears between the venturi and the upper electrode 8 is much stronger. Furthermore the ionization current which circulates between the electrode.
  • Venturi may freely flow towards the intermediate casing 20 without determining on the inner surface of the Venturi localized electric charges which could limit the ionization effects.
  • the spraying nozzle 11 should be grounded through a connection of substantial length.
  • the said connection is comprised of the oblique tube 12 which may be provided relatively long without-requiring any particular arrangement for this purpose.
  • an additional Venturi unit 22-23 is disposed below the outlet of the diverging portion 5 of the main Venturi unit with which it is connected by a perforated intermediate zone 24.
  • This zone may be formed of a perforated plate or of a grid, as shown.
  • the spraying nozzle 11 is axially disposed within the additional Venturi unit 22-23 and it is carefully stream-lined, as illustrated. Its annular spray is so directed as to flare upwardly and to pass through the perforated zone or grid 24.
  • the lower end or outlet of the additional Venturi unit is flanged outwardly as shown as 25, so as to close the annular space between the said Venturi unit and the outer casing, apart from some holes 26 of reduced crosssection.
  • the gas stream issuing from the diverging portion 5 of the main Venturi unit is considerably accelerated in the converging inlet 22 of the additional Venturi unit.
  • the impact effects between the dust particles or agglomerates of dust particles and the coarse liquid particles from the spraying nozzle 11 are greatly enhanced.
  • the coarse particles collect between the additional Venturi and the outer casing together with the dust particles which they have entrained, and the liquid flows through the holes 26 towards the bottom of casing 1, wherefrom it is evacuated through the air-lock device 16.
  • the angle of the spray with respect to the axis of the apparatus in the zone 24 is preferably below 45.
  • the recycled gas stream passes through the grid 24 as indicated by the arrows 27.
  • An electrostatic dust separator comprising:
  • Venturi unit having an inlet and an outlet for a dust-laden a high-voltage ionizing electrode disposed axially of said Venturi and terminating substantially at the outlet thereof, said ionizing electrode being in the form of a rod having thin longitudinally extending radial fins to ionize dust particles in the gas within said unit, and said ionizing electrode having a predetermined polarity;

  • an axial injector nozzle in said outer casing in front of the inlet of said Venturi unit to receive the gas to be treated and to inject same into said inlet together with a portion of the gas issuing from the outlet of said Venturi unit upstream of the spraying means, said portion thus being recycled through said passage.
  • a butterfly valve disposed within said injector nozzle, the diameter of said valve being such that at its position transverse to said injector nozzle it leaves an annular gas passage through said injector nozzle.
