ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17869519 titled 'ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electrostatic precipitator that is used to collect foreign substances. It consists of a charger that charges the foreign substances and a dust collecting sheet where the charged substances are collected. The dust collecting sheet includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a first power connector, a second power connector, and a third power connector.
- The charger charges foreign substances introduced into the electrostatic precipitator.
- The dust collecting sheet collects the charged foreign substances.
- The first electrode is connected to a power source and applies a voltage to attract the charged substances.
- The second electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode and collects the foreign substances that pass through the charger.
- The second power connector applies a voltage with a potential difference to the second electrode.
- The third power connector provides additional voltage to the second electrode, allowing it to generate heat.
Potential Applications
- Air pollution control: The electrostatic precipitator can be used to remove particulate matter and pollutants from industrial emissions, improving air quality.
- Dust collection: It can be used in various industries, such as mining, construction, and woodworking, to collect dust and prevent it from spreading.
- Material recovery: The charged foreign substances collected on the dust collecting sheet can be valuable materials that can be recovered and reused.
Problems Solved
- Pollution control: The electrostatic precipitator helps in reducing air pollution by collecting and removing harmful particles from emissions.
- Dust control: It effectively collects dust particles, preventing them from becoming airborne and causing health hazards.
- Energy efficiency: The additional voltage applied to the second electrode allows it to generate heat, which can help in drying or processing certain materials.
Benefits
- Improved air quality: By removing pollutants and particulate matter, the electrostatic precipitator contributes to cleaner and healthier air.
- Cost-effective: The collection of valuable materials on the dust collecting sheet allows for their recovery and reuse, providing cost savings.
- Energy-efficient: The generation of heat by the second electrode can be utilized for various purposes, reducing the need for additional energy sources.
