Discharge electrode wire assembly for electrostatic precipitator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5485802

An electrostatic precipitator having a casing defining a precipitation chamber wherein a plurality of discharge electrode frames are disposed alternately between a plurality of collecting electrode plates. Each discharge electrode frame is comprised of a plurality of individual discharge electrode wires tautly strung across a support frame. Individual discharge electrode wires are maintained in a taut condition during operation by tensioning coil springs which interconnect neighboring discharge electrode wires to take-up any lengthening of the discharge electrode wires in a horizontal direction.
