Abstract:
A particle removing arrangement is adapted to remove particles from the upper contact surface of an electric rail in an electric highway by the use of an airflow, where the particle removing arrangement is arranged in front of a current collector of a vehicle, where the particle removing arrangement includes an inlet opening for inlet of air and an outlet opening for outlet of air, where the inlet opening is directed in a forward direction and the outlet opening is directed in a sideway to rearward direction in relation to the driving direction of the vehicle, and where the particle removing arrangement creates a particle removing airflow from a forward movement of the vehicle. Particles can be removed from an electric rail without the use of an external power source. The particles can also be removed in a contact-less manner, such that there is no friction or abrasion between the particle removing arrangement and the electric rail.
