Abstract:
The present invention relates to a charging device having a charge section (20) for charging a floating particle in an air to be handled, and an air handling device (an air cleaning device) having the charging device. The charge section (20) is constituted by a first charge section (20a) adopting an impact charging technique and a second charge section (20b) adopting a diffusion charging technique. With this structure, charging and collection of dust can be accomplished only in the casing of the device, and therefore, an increase in size of the device can be avoided.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diesel engine exhaust emission control device for reducing the size of a cyclone and achieving a high PM collection rate and a low fuel cost.SOLUTION: A diesel engine exhaust gas treatment apparatus includes a tubular collection part having a discharge electrode 1-2 for charging particulate matters contained in exhaust gas from a diesel engine using fuel having lower quality than heavy oil and a dust collecting electrode for collecting the charged particulate matters, and a cyclone type classifying collection means for classifying and collecting the particulate matters separated from the tubular collection part. In a high-concentration exhaust gas delivery part for the particulate matters, provided near the inner surface on the downstream side of the tubular collection part, a cyclone collection means 2-1 is provided which is constituted by one or more tangential cyclones. This actualizes such a system that a high-concentration exhaust gas flow exhausted from the high-concentration exhaust gas delivery part is selectively introduced into the tangential cyclones 2-1a depending on the flow amount of the exhaust gas.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent exhaust gas particulates from being discharged to the outside by processing the exhaust gas particulates included in exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine by utilizing corona discharge. SOLUTION: The exhaust gas control device 1 is arranged with a corona discharge electrode 2 and a confronting electrode 3 in a cylindrical housing H connected with an exhaust gas flow passage 42 of the engine 41 and is provided with a corona discharge part for generating corona discharge by applying high voltage between both the electrodes 2, 3. The exhaust gas particulate is controlled by oxidation combustion by applying energy so large that the generation energy by the corona discharge excesses activation energy for oxidizing the exhaust particulate in the exhaust gas.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for collecting fine particles from flue gases onto selected collector surfaces, in which method flue gases (PK) containing fine particles (H) exiting the combustion chamber are led to a selected chamber (20) delimited by walls (200), which is part of the flow channel of the flue gas, with the aid of a corona discharge of a high-voltage corona electrode (303) of an ion source (100), gas ions (IK) are created in a separate body (110), the gas ions (IK) formed are led to the chamber (20) and mixed with the flue gases (PK), in order to charge- the fine particles (H) with the- aid of the gasions (IK), and the charged fine particles (VH) are collected on the collector surfaces (KP), the said separate body (110) is an electrically passive part of- the ion source (100), a counter potential to the corona electrode (303) is formed as is a collector surface (KP) for the charged particles (VH) from the walls (200), of the said selected chamber (20). The invention also relates to. a corresponding device and arrangement for collecting fine particles from flue gas.
Abstract:
An electrostatic precipitator, particularly a WESP, comprising an array of collector tubes and a like array of separately powered discharge electrodes provided in the form of pairs of rods extending within each of the collector tubes. The pairs of rods are provided in the form of a first length rod having a terminal end, the first length rod powered by a first power source, and an axially opposed, second length rod having a terminal end, the second length rod powered by a second power source, wherein each first length discharge electrode rod, of a pair of rods, extends from an inlet of the electrostatic precipitator into a respect e collector tube and each second length discharge electrode rod, of the same pair of rods, extends from an outlet of the electrostatic precipitator into the same, respect e collector tube such that the respective terminal ends of the pairs of discharge electrode rods are spaced apart, thereby defining a gap therebetween. This arrangement enables different energy levels to be applied to each of the first and second length discharge electrode rods of the pairs of discharge electrode rods, by the first and second power supplies, respectively, thereby inducing different levels of ionization within a gas stream flowing through the collector tube array of the electrostatic precipitator, at different locations within the electrostatic precipitator.

In one aspect of the invention, a plasma reactor is arranged to treat aerosol particulates in a fluid stream passing through the reactor. The plasma reactor includes a plasma chamber having a self-cleaning electrode. The self-cleaning electrode is configured to clean various residues from the electrode without need to open or otherwise service the unit. In another aspect, the invention comprises a carbon-based pre-filter arranged to filter in flowing air to reduce the amount of silicone-based contaminant in the air flow before the air reaches the ionization chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of cyclones with electrostatically enhanced recirculation, comprising a collector cyclone (Col) with diameter D 1 and an entry for dirty gases (GS), located upstream from a recirculator (Con) with diameter D 2 and a central channel for exhausting the cleaned gases (GL), these cyclones being placed in series and having a recirculation line, from the concentrator to the collector, to recirculate part of the gas stream. It is characterized in that there are means, in the recirculator, for applying a high voltage (AT, ) producing an ionizing electric field that drives the particles away from the central exhaust channel, without any significant particle deposition on the recirculator walls. The current density in the recirculator field is below 0.1 mA/m 2 and the average electric field is below 2xl0 5 V/m. According to the process of the invention, the particles are driven away from the central exhaust channel, in the recirculator, by the joint action of mechanical and electrical forces, these latter deriving from the particles traversing the ionized field, concentrating them in the fraction of the gas stream that is recycled back to the collector cyclone, where a part is captured (P). It is used for dedusting and dry gas cleaning, especially for acid gases, and for capturing bacteria.
