Electrostatic precipitator apparatus having an improved ion generating means.

摘要

A precipitating stage having one or more electrically charged shells (30) with flat sides generally parallel to collecting side plates for providing a uniform electric field in the medium carrying space, the sides of the shell having openings (56) through which ions generated in the interior pass into the gaseous medium. A corono discharge apparatus (68) inside the shell produces the ions at predictable, generally uniformly spaced locations.
