Definitions
- An apparatus for supporting and electrically connect ing a discharge electrode of an electrical precipitator comprising a support channel having a set of receiving tabs and in combination therewith an electrode hanger configured to he remorabh received by said tabs to electrically connect and support an attached electrode.
- the invention includes, an electrostatic precipitator comprising a discharge electrode construction and support means therefor comprising:
- a current carrying support means having a plurality of hanger engaging tabs projecting therefrom, the tabs being arranged in sets, each set including two tabs lying in intersecting planes and projecting from the same side of the support means, the set of tabs being further defined in that each tab is oblique with respect to the other;
- the tabs defining electrode hanger receiving slots, one slot located between each of the tabs and the current carrying support means, the electrode hanger receiving slots being generally V-shaped in cross-section;
- a self-aligning electrode hanger having a discharge electrode attached thereto and having tab engaging edges which are removably received in the electrode hanger receiving slots of a set of tabs.
- the electrode apparatus of this invention has been found to be very useful in that it provides a simple easily constructed effective means of supporting and electrically connecting discharge electrodes of electrostatic precipitators to current carrying support means.
- FIG. I is an isometric view showing the discharge electrode support apparatus of this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged isometric view of the support means shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is an elevational view of the electrode hanger of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5 is an isometric view of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged isometric view of the support means of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 7 is a view taken along line 7-7 of FIG. 6.
- FIG. 8 is an elevational view of the electrode hanger of FIG. 5.
- FIG. I shows a support means 10 which contains preselectively positioned sets of hanger engaging tabs ll projecting therefrom.
- the tabs 11 lie in intersecting planes and project from the same side of support means 10.
- tabs I I are oblique with respect to each other. It is also possible that one tab could be vertical and the other slanted,
- Each tab 11 forms a V- shaped electrode hanger receiving slot 12 with support means 10, and in doing so, the tabs which are advantageously punched from support means 10 project outwardly at an angle of about 30 degrees with respect to support plate 10.
- Electrode hanger receiving slots 12, formed by tabs 11 of a set, function cooperatively with one another to removably receive an electrode hanger 13.
- electrode receiving slots 12 are advantageously V-shaped in cross-section but need not be limited to such a configuration.
- Electrode hangers 13, are shaped to engage tabs 11 and be in positive electrical contact between tabs ll and support means 10.
- the electrode hangers are advantageously flat but can be of any curvature, (for example, bowed) which is not inconsistent with achieving the advantages of this invention.
- the precipitator electrodes 19 are connected to the electrode hangers 13 opposite end portions 14 and the electrodes are weighted on their lower ends thereby providing a constant force to hold hangers 13 in engagement with tabs 11.
- tab engaging edges 18 of hangers 13 are advantageously tapered to slant with respect to each other at the same angle as does each tab 11 with respect to the other tab in each set. Such slanted tab engaging edges give a self-aligning feature to hangers 13 and allow for maximum electrical contact between support means 10 and hangers 13 while insuring positive removability of the two.
- electrode hanger l3 advantageously has an enlarged end portion 14 serving as a failsafe stop should tabs 11 accidentally become spread so far apart that they no longer engage edges 18.
- hanger 13 has an aperture 15 therein. In its assembled condition (FIG. 1) aperture 15 aligns with support means aperture 17 to allow a fastener, such as a nut and bolt (not shown), to be passed therethrough.
- FIGS. 5-8 show an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein tabs 11 open outwardly away from each other and are mutually convergent upwardly.
- Electrode hangers 13 are generally T-shaped having projections 16 extending downwardly from the cross bar or end portion 14 thereof.
- FIG. 5 shows the electrode hangers removably received in the electrode receiving slots 12. Again, in the construction of this embodiment tabs ll are advantageously punched from the electrode support means. Also electrode hangers 13 are advantageously flat.
- a current carrying support means 10 advantageously a channel shaped member, in position in his electrical precipitator, the support means having sets of tabs ll preselectively located so that the discharge electrodes will be properly located therein.
- discharge electrodes having hangers attached to one end thereof and electrode weights or additional hangers attached to the other end thereof are fabricated.
- the electrodes are then placed within the precipitator with each hanger being received in the electrode receiving slots of a set of tabs and in positive electrical contact with the tabs and support means, in a removable manner.
- a current carrying support means having a vertical wall and a plurality of hanger engaging tabs punched outwardly therefrom, the tabs being arranged in sets, each set including two sets lying in intersecting planes and projecting from the same side of said support means wherein each tab of each set of tabs opens toward the other of the same set, the two tabs being divergent upwardly to each other;
- said tabs defining electrode hanger receiving slots one slot located between each of said tabs and said support means, said electrode hanger receiving slots being generally V-shaped in cross-section;
- a self-aligning electrode hanger having a discharge electrode attached thereto and having tab engaging edges which are removably received in said electrode hanger receiving slots of a set of tabs, said self-aligning electrode hanger being tapered to fit between a set of tabs with its edges removably engaging said tabs.
- each tab of each set of tabs is oblique with respect to the other tab of the same set.
