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.

Apparatus for treating gas comprises a casing (100) containing a gas scrubber section (118) and an electrostatic precipitator section (120) located above the scrubber section. A partition (136) may be located within the casing (100) to separate the precipitator section (120) from the scrubber section (118). The casing has a gas inlet (102) for supplying gas to the scrubber section, a gas outlet (104) for exhausting gas from the precipitator section, a scrubbing liquid inlet (106) for supplying scrubbing liquid to the precipitator section, and a scrubbing liquid outlet (126) for draining scrubbing liquid from the scrubber section. In one embodiment the partition comprises a set of apertures (138) through which scrubbing liquid drains from the precipitator section into the scrubber section, and a set of gas passages (140) for conveying gas from the scrubber section to the precipitator section.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of cyclones with electrostatically enhanced recirculation, comprising a collector cyclone (Col) with diameter D1 and an entry for dirty gases (GS), located upstream from a recirculator (Con) with diameter D2 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/m2 and the average electric field is below 2xl05 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.
Abstract:
An ionizing particulate scrubber is provided for the removal of particulate from a gaseous exhaust stream, said scrubber comprising two sections: a charging section and a collection section. The charging or ionizing section comprises one or more cylindrical tubular ground chambers each with a rigid threaded rod electrode extending through the center thereof. A transformer/rectifier (T/R) is provided to supply high voltage DC power to the electrode such that the cylindrical tubular ground chambers act as the ground to enable a corona to form on the threaded rod electrode. As the gas stream passes through the current flowing from the electrode to the cylindrical tubular ground chambers walls, the particulate contained within the stream is electrostatically charged. The collection system comprises either a fixed or fluid bed packed section which is constantly irrigated from above. Ground rods in the packing and liquid sump allow the entire section to act as a grounded collector for the charged particulate. The gas stream and charged particulate are immediately sent from the charge section to the collection section of the system, and clean gas is then passed through an entrainment separator section to remove liquid droplets.

Abstract:
An exhaust gas processing method and an exhaust gas processing system for controlling the spatial density distribution of particulate matter in exhaust gas by utilizing corona discharge in exhaust gas containing floating particulate matter such as diesel engine exhaust gas to form a relatively particulate matter-rich area and a relatively particulate matter-lean area, and diving exhaust gas particulates to the former and the latter. An exhaust gas processing system (10) provided with a high-voltage electrode (12) and a low-voltage electrode (11), wherein exhaust gas G is allowed to flow between the facing high-voltage electrode (12) and low-voltage electrode (11), and a high voltage is applied to between the counter electrodes to generate corona discharge in the exhaust gas G, whereby floating particulate matter (20) in the exhaust gas G is charged, the spatial density distribution of the floating particulate matter in the exhaust gas is controlled by an electrostatic force between the counter electrodes, and the exhaust gas G is divided into a high-concentration exhaust gas Gb in the vicinity of the low-voltage electrode where a particulate matter concentration is relatively high and a low-concentration exhaust gas Ga in the vicinity of the high-voltage electrode where a particulate matter concentration is relatively low.
Abstract:
An electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner (100) includes a self-contained ion generator that provides electro-kinetically moved air with ions and safe amounts of ozone. The ion generator includes a high voltage pulse generator whose output pulses are coupled between first and second electrode arrays (230 and 240). Preferably the first array (230) comprises one or more wire electrodes (232) spaced staggeringly apart from a second array (240) comprising hollow 'U'-shaped electrodes (242). Preferably a ratio between effective area of an electrode in the second array (240) compared to effective area of an electrode in the first array (230) exceeds about 15:1 and preferably about 20:1. An electric field produced by the high voltage pulses between the arrays produces an electrostatic flow of ionized air containing safe amounts of ozone. A bias electrode, electrically coupled to the second array electrodes (242), affects net polarity of ions generated. The outflow of ionized air and ozone is thus conditioned. Output airflow may be sampled for ozone and/or ion content, and/or the local environment may be sampled for parameters such as temperature and humidity. Such sampling could then be fedback to the invention and used to regulate desired output airflow characteristics.
