Modular gas cleaner and method
A modular gas cleaner can consist of an elongated box having an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The interior of the elongated box is divided into a plurality of elongated passageways by partitioning means within the box. The internal partitions of the box define a plurality of openings so that gas introduced into the inlet opening of the box must travel the length of each passageway prior to passage out of the outlet opening. Electrodes are located within each passageway and electrically isolated from the box to permit the electrodes to be charged to high voltage. The plurality of electrodes are connected with a high voltage supply to create an electrostatic charging and depositing field within the passageways of the box. The gas cleaner drain openings provided in the internal partitions which lead to a collecting tank at the low point of the elongated box. Electrical heating means is provided on the outer surface of the box and thermal insulating means surrounds the box and the heating means in order to maintain the fluidity of normally nonfluid material removed from the gas.
