<p>A modular two-stage electrostatic precipitator (10) for extracting airborne particles includes individual ionizer/collector cell modules (16) having integrated power supplies (24) and diagnostic systems (84). The cell modules (16) are adapted to be joined blindly to one another in end-to-end nested relation through nestable end plates (18, 20) and in a series circuit utilizing floating electrical connectors (26, 28). The module end plates (18, 20) provide self-correction in misalignment during a blind connection and provide sealed end plate cavities (22) for the power supply (24) and electrical connectors (26, 28). The diagnostic system (84) provides detection for any open system circuit and/or short circuit condition and allows for trouble shooting on an individual cell module basis.</p> |
