Spacers for straightening warped precipitator curtains
In an electrostatic precipitator having adjacent first and second curtains, the improvement is described comprising a spacer inserted between the first and second curtains to effect straightening of the curtains when warped. It also prevents further curtain warpage, each curtain having a top edge and being disposed substantially parallel with the adjacent curtain. The spacer comprises: (a) a hanger comprising first suspending means secured at one end to engage and to suspend the hanger from the top edge of the first curtain, and second suspending means spaced from the first suspending means; and (b) at least one hanging member having third suspending means for engaging the second suspending means and suspending the hanging member from and below the hanger. A method is described of installing a spacer between adjacent first and second curtains of an electrostatic precipitator to effect a gradual straightening of any warpage therein.
