Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dust collector, an electrode selection method for a dust collector, and a dust collection method such that it is possible to select a suitable wire mesh to be used in a collecting electrode and thereby improve the collecting efficiency even at high flow velocities. A dust collector has a discharge electrode to which a voltage is applied, and a collecting electrode that is disposed facing the discharge electrode and has a planar member formed of a wire mesh, wherein the wire mesh of the planar member satisfies equations and below, and the gas face velocity (v) of the gas penetrating the wire mesh is v=0.1 m/s or higher. IndexT=(the inter-wire distance÷2)÷the opening ratio÷the wire diameter×the gas face velocity IndexT≦2.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention involve the application of a disk-in-tube type of “wet” or “dry” ESP (electrostatic precipitation) technology for the capture/removal of airborne particles entering a gas turbine compressor. This provides an effective method of particulate removal without the inefficiencies associated with conventional filtering techniques. Embodiments of the innovative approach also eliminate the inlet airstream blocking effect of a conventional filter, thus making its use and operation adaptable to different operating environments and processes that require clean input air streams (including industrial manufacturing processes, power generators, combined turbine and fluid recapture systems for use in heating and cooling, etc.).

An electrostatic air cleaner comprises a main body, a corona discharged module, a collector module and a fan. The main body has an airflow passage for disposing the corona discharged module, the collector module and the fan. The fan is used for drawing an air stream into the airflow passage. The corona discharged module is used for discharging particles in the air stream. The charged particles are then captured by the collector module.
