CONNECTION OF DISCHARGE ELECTRODES

摘要

An electrostatic precipitator has vertical discharge electrodes which are restrained from vibration by horizontal connecting members running between the electrodes and interacting with them. The connecting members are secured outside the electric field to end frames of the support structure from which the electrodes hang. The electrodes and the connecting members are capable of relative vertical movement where they interact. One form of connecting member is a taut wire woven through each row of discharge electrodes; in another form an electrode is received in a sleeve passing vertically through a rod-like connecting member. The connecting members are provided at a level or levels not coincident with the expected nodes of standing waves likely to occur in the electrodes.
