Electrostatic precipitator having electrode stabilizer means

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7348038

An electrostatic precipitator is described for cleaning a particle laden gas. The precipitator consists of a shell having a gas inlet and outlet port and defining a gas chamber therein, a plurality of laterally spaced collector electrodes suspended witin the gas chamber defining gas passages between adjacent collector electrodes, a discharge electrode assembly suspended from an insulator within the gas chamber, a portion thereof suspended within the gas passages between the adjacent collector electrodes, the discharge electrode assembly being insulated by the insulator from the shell and the collector electrodes, and a plurality of electrically insulating stabilizers connected between selected ones of the collector electrodes and the discharge electrode assembly for maintaining the portion of the discharge electrode assembly suspended within the gas passages substantially centered between the adjacent collector electrodes.
