Abstract:
An air cleaner includes a rear filter receiving air from the outer environment, an ionizer grid connected to a high voltage power supply and having wires extending between opposite sides of a frame such to emit positively charged ions and apply an electrostatic charge on the air received from the rear filter; a collector grid connected to ground and having wires extending between opposite sides of a frame, the combination of the ionizer and collector grids causing the air to move toward the collector grid; a front filter collecting contaminants suspended in the air received from the collector grid; and an apparatus frame housing the rear filter, the ionizer and collector grids, and the front filter, wherein the frames of the ionizer and collector grids are suspended within the apparatus frame with isolating members made of a non-arc tracking material, such to minimize coronal discharge and reduce audible noise.
Abstract:
A separator device for removing particles from suspension in a fluid includes a housing having first and second apertures for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the housing. A first separator chamber is disposed at one end of the housing. A second separator chamber is disposed at the other end of the housing. A central chamber is disposed between the first and second separator chambers. The first and second separator chambers are apertured for ingress and egress of fluid from the central chamber, and each contains obstruction means to slow the flow of fluid within the chamber.
Abstract:
A magnet cleaner cooperates with one or more permanent magnets positioned over a conveyer carrying pieces of metal in non-ferrous material so as to remove the metal from the non-ferrous material. The magnet cleaner includes a frame and a capture sheet mounted to the frame and positioned on the frame so as to be substantially flush with the permanent magnets when they are in their lowered positioned. The magnets are spaced by an attenuation distance from the capture sheet when they are in their raised position. The permanent magnets, which may be mounted in a housing, are positionably mounted on the frame so as to be selectively elevatable between their lowered and raised positions upon actuation of an actuator. The actuator is positioned so as to cooperate with the permanent magnets and the frame so as to raise or lower the magnets relative to the capture sheet.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a filter, which comprises a housing, a protective bushing, a magnetic bar and a filter screen. The protective bushing, the magnetic bar and the filter screen are disposed in the housing. The protective bushing comprises a cavity and a channel. The channel is disposed along the axial direction of the cavity. The advantageous effects of the filter according to the present disclosure lies in that: the magnetic bar inside the filter can adsorb metal impurities in the water in the channel; and the channel is in S shape which can increase the length of the flow path of the water so that the metal impurities in the water can be guaranteed to be sufficiently adsorbed by the magnetic bar; and the filter screen can filter out non-metal impurities in the water. An exhaust valve provided at the top of the protective bushing can keep the balance between the air pressure inside the filter and the air pressure outside the filter, which can ensure that the water can flow out and in smoothly. The filter is attached with an operating handle. If the user wants to disassemble the filter to clear up the metal impurities and non-metal impurities in the filter, he can disassemble the filter by means of the operating handle without the need of professional operator, which is convenient and simple.
Abstract:
A sleeve 26 for a magnet assembly 28 of a magnetic separator for use in a central heating system comprises first and second sleeve members 29, 30, and a connection 31 for connecting respective ends of the first and second sleeve members 29, 30 together.
Abstract:
An electrostatic particle collector may generally include a housing having sidewalls extending lengthwise between a first end and a second end. The housing may define a plate slot that extends heightwise within the housing between a top end and a bottom end. The housing may further include a plate access window that provides access to the bottom end of the plate slot. The collector may also include a collector plate configured to be installed within the plate slot that extends heightwise between a top edge and a bottom edge. Additionally, when the collector plate is installed within the plate slot, the bottom edge of the collector plate may be accessible from an exterior of the housing via the plate access window so as to allow the bottom edge of the collector plate to be moved relative to the housing to facilitate removal of the collector plate from the housing.
Abstract:
An electrostatic collector is provided, including a collection chamber, delimited by a tubular wall, and a support holding an electrode in position in the collection chamber and for removing it from the collection chamber, the support including a guide, passing transversally through the collection chamber, the first and second ends of which are fixed to the wall, the guide including a through opening configured to hold the electrode; a first attachment element, including at least one electrically conducting part, that will extend at least partly in the guide, from the first end towards the opening; and a second attachment element, including at least one electrically insulating part, that can move in translation in the guide from the second end towards the opening and from the opening towards the second end.
Abstract:
A magnet holding bracket has an rectangular body for holding a rectangular magnet as defined by the Magnet Patent. A mounting tab on one end of the rectangular body includes an aperture sized and physically disposed for insertion of an oil pan drain plug from a non-ferrous oil pan. The drain plug tightens against the mounting tab and holds the rectangular magnet in justaposition to the non-ferrous oil pan such that the rectangular magnet can engage ferrous particles circulating within the oil pooling in the non-ferrous oil pan.
Abstract:
A particle separation device includes a particle separation member having a plurality of conical cavities each having a narrow open end and a wide open end for separating particles from unclean liquid; a fluid distribution member for distributing the liquid to the cavities; a particle collection member for collecting particles; and a fluid guiding member for guiding cleaned liquid from the particle separation member to an outlet of the device. The particle collection member includes a chamber and a magnet for holding particles inside the chamber. A vortex finder is disposed in each of the cavities. The vortex finder has a skirt portion and a distal end having a reduced wall thickness.
Abstract:
A magnetic screen assembly (13). The assembly (13) is to be located in a duct (10) to screen a flowable substance passing in a direction (11). The assembly (13) has a screening position (A) so that the substance passes through the screen, and a cleaning position (B) at which the screen assembly (13) is spaced outwardly relative to the housing (12) to facilitate cleaning of the assembly (13).
