Definitions
- This invention relates to an air cleaning apparatus, especially an apparatus for cleaning of room air.
- Room air is here taken as meaning air in dwelling rooms, office or other work-rooms, meeting rooms, etc., or in other words, rooms in the ordinary sense of the word, but also air in other spaces, such as a space defined by a ventilation duct, which are sepa ⁇ rated from the open air and thus hold a well-defined body of air.
- the invention relates to an air clean ⁇ ing apparatus which comprises an ionizing device having a unipolar ion source formed by a corona discharge electrode, and an electrostatic precipitator connected to a high-voltage source and having a flow-through passageway for the air to be cleaned and two groups of electrode elements disposed in the flow-through passageway, the electrode elements of one group being interleaved with and spaced from the electrode elements of the other group and arranged to be at a potential differ ⁇ ent from that of the said other group.
- air cleaning apparatus of this kind exist in the form of two-stage electrostatic filters in which the ionizing device comprises a corona discharge electrode in an ionizing chamber at the upstream or inlet side of the precipitator.
- the walls of the ionizing chamber enclose a well-defined space in which the charging of the dust particles takes place more or less simultaneously with the entry of the air into the precipitator.
- This space may be considered as an upstream extension of the flow-through passageway of the precipitator, because all air that passes through the ionizing chamber and flows past the corona discharge electrode, flows on through the precipitator.
- the efficiency of air cleaning apparatus of this kind is dependent on the efficiency of the charging of the dust par ⁇ ticles which the airflow through the ionizing chamber carries and which are to be separated from the air in the precipita ⁇ tor.
- One way of achieving an efficient charging of the dust particles is to pass a strong corona current through the corona discharge electrode, but a strong corona current has the undesirable effect of causing a substantial generation of ozone at the corona discharge electrode.
- WO93/16807 discloses a two-stage electrostatic filter in which this technique of achieving an efficient charging of the dust particles is embodied.
- the present invention provides a radically different way of achieving, in an air cleaning apparatus of the kind initi ⁇ ally defined, an efficient separation of dust particles from the air using a very weak corona current.
- the air cleaning apparatus does comprise a unipolar ion source formed by a corona dis- charge electrode, it has no ionization chamber in the ordi ⁇ nary sense of the word.
- the corona discharge elec ⁇ trode is arranged such that the ions produced at the elec ⁇ trode may diffuse away from the electrode substantially freely and fill the entire space, such as a room in a build ⁇ ing or a section of a ventilation duct, in which the body of air to be cleaned is enclosed.
- the corona electrode is not associated with diffusion barriers or screens that prevent or substantially oppose the free diffusion of the ion cloud in the space, that is, the room in which the ionizer is placed.
- the corona discharge electrode may be located practi- cally anywhere in the room. Accordingly, it is basically pos ⁇ sible to use as the ionizing device a so-called ionizer of the type available on the market - it may produce positive or negative ions - and place it practically anywhere in the room, regardless of the position of the precipitator. Pro- vided that there are no barriers or screens of the kind men ⁇ tioned, the cloud of ions produced at the corona discharge electrode will diffuse throughout the room, that is through ⁇ out the body of air to be cleaned, and charge the dust par ⁇ ticles in it. However, it may be preferable that the ionizing device is joined with the precipitator, e.g.
- the corona dis ⁇ charge electrode mounted on the exterior surface of a housing which encloses the precipitator and preferably also a fan or other device for transporting air through the precipitator, as well as the required high-voltage source.
- the high-voltage source is common to the corona discharge electrode and the precipitator.
- the housing may itself form a barrier which prevents diffusion of the ion cloud in one direction, straight rearwardly, the ion cloud can still diffuse in the opposite direction, forwardly, and laterally and also rear ⁇ wardly by the sides of the housing, so that it will ultimate ⁇ ly fill the entire room.
- the precipitator a capacitor precipitator of a design that permits efficient separation even of particles which are not strongly charged, because the more efficient the separation is, the weaker the corona cur ⁇ rent can be without sacrificing the cleaning efficiency.
- a requirement for an efficient separation is that the electric field strength between adjacent electrode element of the precipitator is always as high as possible, that is, it should always be so high that the precipitator always oper ⁇ ates at or only slightly below the field strength at which sparkover occurs. It therefore is advantageous to use a capa ⁇ citor precipitator of the kind described in O88/03057 and WO93/16807.
- capacitor precipitators of this kind the voltage between adjacent electrode elements is automatically and individually, independently of the other electrode element pairs, adjusted to be at or close to the voltage limit of the high-voltage source.
- Such precipitators can also be advan- tageously designed as inexpensive and environment-friendly disposable products so that they may be discarded when they have become so loaded with dust that they no longer can effect an adequate separation.
- sparkover limit should be exceeded for an electrode element pair, e.g. as a consequence of dust accumulation on one of the electrode ele ⁇ ments of the pair, a discharge (glow discharge) will occur so that a current will flow between the electrode elements, but this current will be very weak because of the high resistiv- ity of the electrode elements and any existing separate current-limiting resistors of the high-voltage source.
- the discharge will cause the voltage between the electrode elements of the pair to drop somewhat, namely to a value just about sufficient to maintain the discharge.
- the electrode elements may therefore still effect precipita ⁇ tion of the charged particles passing between them, albeit at a reduced efficiency because of the lowered voltage.
- the other electrode element pairs are not affected by the dis ⁇ charge.
- the invention is suitable for application to air cleaning apparatus designed for airflow rates of 100 cu ⁇ bic metres or more, preferably substantially more, per hour.
- the invention will be described in greater detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing, the single figure of which shows a longitudinal sectional view of an air clean ⁇ ing apparatus embodying the invention.
- the air cleaning apparatus shown in the drawing compri- ses a housing or enclosure 11 which encloses a readily repla ⁇ ceable electrostatic dust precipitator, generally designated by 12, and an air transporting device in the form of an elec ⁇ trically driven fan 13, which transports air through the appa ⁇ ratus such that the air passes through a flow-through pass- ageway in the dust precipitator.
- An arrow P indicates the direction of flow of the air, and as is evident from the drawing, the dust separator 12 is positioned upstream of the fan 13.
- an ioniz- ing device namely a so-called ionizer, generally designated by 14, which may be mounted on the housing 11 and thus sup ⁇ ported by the housing, but it may also be detached and stand ⁇ ing by itself and thus have no mechanical connection with the housing.
- the ionizer 14 preferably is posi- tioned in front of the air inlet of the housing 11, or at least near the inlet.
- the air cleaning apparatus comprises a high- voltage source (direct current source) which is generally designated by 15 in the drawing and which is common to the dust precipitator 12 and the ionizer 14.
- a high- voltage source direct current source
- the dust precipitator 12 is a capacitor precipitator having two interleaved groups of parallel, preferably plate ⁇ like electrode elements 16 and 17 defining between them a large number of subpassageways 18 which jointly form the above-mentioned flow-through passageway for the air to be cleaned.
- a high-ohmic resistor 19 the electrode elements 16 of one group are connected to the negative terminal of the high-voltage source 15, and the electrode elements 17 of the other group are similarly connected to the positive terminal via a high-ohmic resistor.
- the dust precipitator is constructed as described in O88/03057 so that at least the electrode ele- ment ⁇ 17, and preferably also the electrode elements 16, are made of a semiconducting, so called antistatic or dissipative material, or coated with such a material.
- the con ⁇ nection of at least the electrode elements 17 and suitably also the electrode elements 16, connected to the high-voltage source 15 is accomplished via, in addition to the respective resistors 20 and 19, a strip or bar shaped contact member (not shown) of high-ohmic material.
- the dust precipitator 12 may be construc ⁇ ted as described in O93/16807, the electrode elements in one group, namely the grounded electrode elements, being kept at the required potential with the aid of a separate corona dis ⁇ charge device.
- edges of the elec ⁇ trode elements made of or coated with a semiconducting or antistatic material, or at least that edge, the upstream or leading edge, which is directed against the direction of flow of the air, with a screen of an electrically conducting mate ⁇ rial as is described in PCT/SE94/00131.
- the dust precipitator 12 suitably is made from a high-ohmic fibrous material, prefer ⁇ ably a cellulose material, such as paper or cardboard.
- the ionizer 14 may be of any suitable type having a corona discharge electrode as a unipolar, positive or negative, ion source, such as an ion ⁇ izer of any of the commercially available types and construc ⁇ tions.
- the ionizer 14 shown only by way of example in the draw ⁇ ing comprises a corona discharge electrode 21 in the shape of a wire or point electrode, which is connected to the positive terminal of the high-voltage source 15. It is supported by a holder 22 of an insulating material and encircled by an annu ⁇ lar conducting excitation or counter electrode 23 connected to the grounded negative terminal of the high-voltage source.
- the distance between the point of the corona dis ⁇ charge electrode 21 and the adjacent portion of the excita- tion electrode 23 is greater than 3 cm.
- Excitation electrode 23 may also take many other forms than that shown in the drawing. For example, it may be a grounded grid or other grounded air-permeable member mounted over the inlet opening of the dust precipitator. If the ion- izer comprises a separate excitation electrode corresponding to that which is shown in the drawing, an inlet grid or the like made of plastic may be positioned over the inlet open ⁇ ing.
- the electrode elements of the dust pre ⁇ cipitator may serve as the excitation electrode when the ion ⁇ izer is positioned in front of the dust precipitator at the inlet to the housing 11 of the air cleaning apparatus.
- the corona discharge electrode 21 may be a wire loop or a linear wire electrode.
- the ionizer 14 may be positioned substantially as desired, although for practical reasons it is preferred that it forms part of the unit comprising the housing 11, the dust precipitator 12, the fan 13 and the high-voltage source 15.
- One case in which it may be preferred to have the ionizer separated from the rest of the air cleaning apparatus is when the housing 11 with the dust precipitator 12 is inserted in a ventilation duct or the like or for some reason is not suit ⁇ ably placed in the room the air of which is to be cleaned.
- the ionizer must be positioned such that the ion cloud it generates is not inhibited by screening elements or barriers of some kind from diffusing essentially freely in the room containing the air to be cleaned.
