Discharge electrode wire assembly for electrostatic precipitator

摘要

An electrostatic precipitator (10) having a casing (12) defining a precipitation chamber (6) wherein a plurality of discharge electrode frames (32) are disposed alternately between a plurality of collecting electrode plates (20). Each discharge electrode frame is comprised of a plurality of individual discharge electrode wires (36) tautly strung across a support frame. Individual discharge electrode wires are maintained in a taut condition during operation by tensioning coil springs (50) which interconnect neighboring discharge electrode wires to take-up any lengthening of the discharge electrode wires in a horizontal direction.
