Laminar flow electrostatic precipitation system

摘要

An electrostatic precipitation system (100) utilizes laminar flow of a particulate-laden gas in order to enhance the removal of sub-micron sized particulates. The system incorporates a housing (105) through which the gas flows to an outlet port (110). The gas, which may be a flue gas enters the laminar flow precipitator (102) through an inlet port (108) for passage through a charging section (104). The flue gas and charged particles then flow to a collecting section (106). The collected particulates are subsequently collected in a hopper (112) or reentrained in the gas stream as agglomerates for subsequent removal by a secondary filter (120), the gas stream then being conveyed to a stack (14) wherein the particulate-free gas can be emitted into the atmosphere.
