Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner with a bead member having a bore, through which a wire-like electrode passes. SOLUTION: The bead is moved along the wire to frictionally clean the wire-like electrode when an electrode array is removed. A bead lifting arm is mounted to the electrode array. The bead lifting arm can move the bead to clean the electrode when the electrode array is removed from the air conditioner for cleaning. The electro-kinetic electro-static air conditioner has insulated parts which protect against high voltage arcing and conductive deposits relative to the electrodes. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrokinetic/electrostatic air conditioner in which a wire-like electrode is provided with a bead member having a through-hole. SOLUTION: A bead is moved along a wire since the wire-like electrode is cleaned by rubbing when an electrode array is removed. A bead lifting arm is fit to the electrode array. The bead can be moved by the bead lifting arm since electrodes are cleaned when the electrode array is removed from this air conditioner in order to clean this air conditioner. This air conditioner has an electrically insulating part for protecting the electrodes against a high-voltage arc to be generated and electrically conductive deposits. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
The present invention is related to electro-kinetic air conditioner systems having at least one emitter electrode and at least one collector electrode. The emitter electrode can have a plurality of pins axially arranged about a center axis and can include a cleaning mechanism which removes debris and particulates from the pins when the emitter electrode and/or cleaning mechanism is moved. Preferably, a driver electrode is located within the interior of the collector electrode. A high voltage source provides a voltage potential to at least one of the emitter electrode and the collector electrode to thereby provide a potential difference therebetween.
