Description

Electric dust collector

The present invention relates to an electric dust collector.

As conventional electric dust collectors, there are known devices having flat dust collectors arranged in parallel along the airflow and a discharge electrode with a corona discharge part arranged in the center. The shape of the corona discharge part of the discharge electrode has a way to ensure the corona discharge by holding the protrusion shape to concentrate the generated electric field, so that the discharge electrode body generates the same electric field concentration structure, such as angular lines or thin piano wires, etc., In general industrial electric dust collectors, in order to ensure stable corona discharge even if the electrodes are contaminated, a structure with a protruding corona discharge part is the mainstream, and this structure is the prerequisite from now on.

In the electric dust collector, by applying a high DC voltage between the dust collecting electrode and the discharge electrode, the corona discharge part of the discharge electrode performs stable corona discharge to charge the dust in the airflow. The charged dust is trapped by the dust collector through the movement of the Coulomb force acting on the dust under the electric field between the discharge electrode and the dust collector, which has been explained in the previous dust collection theory.

However, the electric dust collector of Patent Documents 1 and 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes for passing dust, and has a dust collecting electrode inside a closed space for collecting dust. In Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is difficult for the collected dust to scatter again by sealing the dust in the closed space through the through hole.

The electric dust collector of Patent Document 3 is provided with a dust collecting electrode including a ground electrode having an opening ratio of 65% to 85%, and a dust collecting filter layer that traps gas. With such a dust collecting electrode, in Patent Document 3, an ion wind is generated in a cross section orthogonal to the air flow to generate a spiral air current circulating between the discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode, which becomes an efficient trap Collect dust. In Patent Document 3, although the ion wind is actively used, this situation is mainly for the purpose of collecting dust by the dust collecting filter layer.

[The problem to be solved by the invention]

The dust collection efficiency η of the electrostatic precipitator can be calculated by the well-known Deutsch equation (Equation 1). w is the dust collection index (moving speed of particulate matter), f is the dust collection area per unit gas.

In the above formula (1), the moving speed w of the dust (particulate matter) is determined by the relationship between the force caused by the Coulomb force and the viscous resistance of the gas. In the German formula (the above formula (1)), it is assumed that the dust moves from the discharge electrode in the electric field, and the influence of the ion wind on the performance is not directly considered. However, the performance design mentioned before, that is, the distribution of dust concentration is always in the cross section of the dust collecting space between the discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode orthogonal to the airflow of the electric dust collector. The ion wind It is thought that a turbulent flow of gas is generated, which is one of the main reasons that the dust concentration becomes the same.

When a negative electrode is applied between the electrodes, an ion wind is generated as a result of the negative ions generated by the corona discharge at the discharge electrode. In the case of a positive voltage, an ion wind is generated by the positive ions. Hereinafter, in this specification, the consideration is based on an industrial electric dust collector, so although a case where a negative voltage is applied is described, it is the same even if a positive voltage is applied.

In an electric dust collector with electric clusters arranged along the airflow, the ion wind generated at the discharge electrode flows across the airflow towards the dust collecting electrode. The ion wind reaching the dust collecting pole reverses at the dust collecting pole and changes the flow direction. Accordingly, a spiral turbulent flow is generated between the electrodes.

In the turbulent flow, the air flow from the discharge electrode to the dust collector has the function of transporting dust to the vicinity of the dust collector. The dust transported to the vicinity of the dust collecting pole is finally captured by the Coulomb force.

However, since the ion wind reversed at the dust collecting pole moves the dust away from the collecting body, that is, the dust collecting pole, it also has the effect of hindering dust collection. Therefore, it is effective to provide an opening in the dust collecting electrode to prevent the reversal of the ion wind.

Patent Document 3 describes an electric dust collector considering the effect of ion wind. However, in this situation, in order to send the ion wind into the filter layer behind the dust collector with the opening, the structure is also complicated for the purpose of collecting dust in a place that is not affected by the main gas. And the dry type is difficult to peel off and collect the attached dust.

Furthermore, when the discharge electrode is provided with a corona discharge part protruding from the main body of the discharge electrode, the corona discharge generated from the corona discharge part causes the ion wind and the corona current to flow toward the dust collecting electrode at the same time. In contrast, when the discharge electrode is not provided with a corona discharge part, since corona discharge does not occur between the discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode, ion wind cannot be used. Furthermore, in the discharge electrode without corona discharge part, the amount of charge in the dust collecting space due to corona current or charged dust is less than that of the corona discharge part, so the electric field intensity near the dust collecting electrode increases It is smaller than the corona discharge side, and the dust collection effect due to the Coulomb force becomes weaker. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention paid attention to the positive use of the dust collecting electrode opposed to the discharge electrode which does not have a corona discharge part.

The present invention was created in view of such circumstances, and its object is to provide an electric dust collector that can effectively collect dust even if it is a dust collector that does not have a discharge electrode of a corona discharge part.

[Means to solve the problem]

An electric dust collector related to one aspect of the present invention includes a main body, a first discharge electrode having a first corona discharge portion for corona discharge protruding from the main body, and a surface with no protrusions formed thereon The second discharge electrode, the dust collecting electrode located between the first discharge electrode and the second discharge electrode, the first discharge electrode side facing the first corona discharge part, and the dust collecting electrode is located higher than the first discharge electrode. The center position between the electrode and the second discharge electrode is further away from the direction of the first discharge electrode.

The first discharge electrode has a first corona discharge portion protruding to face the dust collecting electrode, and the second discharge electrode has a surface on which no protrusion is formed. According to this, it is possible to generate corona discharge from the first corona discharge portion toward the dust collecting electrode to allow ion wind to flow. The second discharge electrode is located on the opposite side of the first discharge electrode with the dust collecting electrode, that is, the second discharge electrode on the opposite side of the first corona discharge part. Since there is no protrusion like the first corona discharge part, it hardly generates Corona discharge. However, since the dust collecting electrode is located farther away from the center of the first and second discharge electrodes than the first discharge electrode, the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode are very close to each other. Accordingly, the intensity of the electric field between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode can be increased, and the dust collection efficiency due to the improvement of the Coulomb force can be improved even at the second discharge electrode. Furthermore, compared with the conventional method in which only the discharge electrodes with corona discharge parts are provided on both sides, this method has the second discharge electrode without protrusions, which can eliminate the adjacent dust collecting electrodes. The advantage of the interference of ion wind caused by the discharge electrodes. As the dust collecting electrode, for example, a discrete dust collecting electrode in which members having plural rigidities are arranged at specific intervals. As a member having rigidity, for example, a member in which the main body is formed in a tube shape can be cited. In addition, as another type of dust collecting electrode, for example, a flat dust collecting electrode formed as a plate-shaped body having a plurality of through holes is exemplified. As the flat dust collecting electrode, for example, punched metal or gold mesh is used.

In addition, in the electric dust collector according to one aspect of the present invention, the distance between the first discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode is set to D1, and the distance between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode is set to When the distance of is set to D2, it becomes 1.1≦D1/D2≦2.0.

By setting 1.1≦D1/D2≦2.0, the electric field intensity between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode can be increased while making the electric field intensity close to the electric field between the first corona discharge part and the dust collecting electrode strength. Compared with the setting of 1.1>D1/D2, the dust collection performance is improved. Unlike the setting of D1/D2>2.0, the generation of spark discharge can be prevented.

In addition, in the electric dust collector according to one aspect of the present invention, the dust collecting electrodes are arranged along one direction, and the D1 is the position between the arrangement positions of the first discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode. The distance, D2 is the distance between the arrangement position of the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode.

The dust collecting electrodes are arranged in one direction, D1 is in the vertical direction to the arrangement direction of the dust collecting electrodes, the distance between the first discharge electrode and the arrangement position of the dust collecting electrodes, and D2 is in the arrangement of the dust collecting electrodes. The direction is the distance between the arrangement position of the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode in the vertical direction.

Furthermore, in the electric dust collector according to one aspect of the present invention, the electric field intensity between the first discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode and the electric field intensity between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode Are set equal.

By making the electric field intensity between the first discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode the same as the electric field intensity between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode, compared to placing the dust collecting electrode on the first discharge electrode and the second discharge electrode In the middle of the space, the electric field strength between the second discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode can be increased.

In addition, in the electric dust collector according to one aspect of the present invention, the first discharge electrode sandwiches the main body part and has a protruding from the main body part on the side opposite to the first corona discharge part. The second corona discharge part for corona discharge is provided with a dust collecting electrode different from the above-mentioned dust collecting electrode so as to face the second corona discharge part.

By having a first corona discharge part and a second corona discharge part on both sides of the main body of the discharge electrode, it is possible to generate corona discharge toward the dust collecting electrodes on both sides to flow the ion wind.

By increasing the intensity of the electric field between the discharge electrode and the dust collecting electrode without the corona discharge part, even in the dust collecting electrode facing the discharge electrode of the corona discharge part, the dust collection can be improved by increasing the Coulomb force Efficient, more effective dust collection.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the electric dust collector related to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The electric dust collector 1 is used in a thermal power plant that uses coal or the like as a fuel, and collects dust (particulate matter) in combustion exhaust gas introduced from a boiler. Furthermore, the dimensions of the components of the electric dust collector 1 are different from those used in thermal power plants, but they are installed in buildings or underground spaces. Recover fine particulate matter (for example, PM2.5, etc.) to purify the space in the space.

The electric dust collecting device 1 is provided with plural dust collecting electrodes 4 made of, for example, metal, which is conductive. The dust collecting electrode 4 is formed as a hollow cylindrical circular tube having a circular cross section, and is arranged in an x direction (air flow G direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, that is, the z direction at a predetermined interval. The rows of the dust collecting electrodes 4 arranged in the x direction are arranged in plural rows in the y direction orthogonal to the z direction and the x direction at predetermined intervals. Between each row of the dust collecting electrode 4, the first discharge electrode 5 or the second discharge electrode 6 is arranged in the x-z plane. The first discharge electrodes 5 and the second discharge electrodes 6 are alternately arranged in the y direction.

In FIG. 1, the positions of the mounting frame 5d of the first discharge electrode 5 and the mounting frame 6b of the second discharge electrode 6 are shown. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the dust collecting electrode 4 is shifted from the center position CL between the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 arranged in the y direction orthogonal to the direction of the air flow G to the second discharge electrode 6 side. That is, the distance between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the first discharge electrode 5 is greater than the distance between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6.

The dust collecting electrode 4 is grounded. The first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 are connected to a power source having a negative polarity (not shown). In addition, the power supply connected to the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 may have a positive polarity.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first discharge electrode 5 includes a main body portion 5c fixed to the mounting frame 5d, and a plurality of protruding portions (first corona discharge portion) 5a formed as thorns protruding from the main body portion 5c. And a plurality of protruding parts (second corona discharge part) 5b in the shape of thorns protruding from the main body part 5c are provided on the side opposite to the protruding part 5a with the main body part 5c therebetween. The main body part 5c is, for example, a round bar with a circular cross-section, or a square bar with a quadrangular cross-section, or the like. In addition, the protrusion parts 5a, 5b and the main body part 5c may be connected by separate members by welding or the like, or may be formed by punching a flat plate and be integrally formed.

The protruding part 5a is provided so that its front end protrudes toward the dust collecting electrode 4 side of one side, and the protruding part 5b is provided so that its front end protrudes toward the dust collecting electrode 4 side of the other side. The protrusions 5a and 5b are located in the x-direction which is the direction of the airflow G, and are arranged between the dust collecting electrodes 4. A corona discharge is generated in the protrusions 5a, 5b, and ion wind is generated from the front end of the protrusions 5a, 5b toward the dust collecting electrode 4 side facing each other.

The second discharge electrode 6 includes a main body portion 6a fixed to the mounting frame 6b. The outer peripheral surface of the second discharge electrode 6 is different from that of the first discharge electrode 5, and there is no protrusion part protruding from the main body part 6a like the protrusion parts 5a and 5b. The second discharge electrode 6 has, for example, a round bar with a circular cross section, or a square bar with a square cross section. The second discharge electrode 6 is arranged in parallel to the z direction in the axial direction.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 is shifted from the center position CL between the center C2 of the first discharge electrode 5 and the center C3 of the second discharge electrode 6 to the side of the second discharge electrode 6 . Specifically, the dust collecting electrode 4 is moved away from the first discharge electrode 5 having the protrusions 5a, 5b, and is close to the second discharge electrode 6 without the protrusions, and the position is shifted from the center position CL . Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the distance D1 seen in the y direction between the center C2 of the body portion 5c of the first discharge electrode 5 and the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 is greater than that of the The distance D2 seen in the y direction between the center C3 of the body portion 6a of the second discharge electrode 6 and the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 is large (D1>D2).

The distance D1 is the distance passing through the arrangement position of the center C2 of the body portion 5c of the first discharge electrode 5 and the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4. That is, D1 is in the vertical direction (y direction) with respect to the arrangement direction of the dust collecting electrode 4, between the center C2 of the body portion 5c of the first discharge electrode 5 and the arrangement position (center axis) of the dust collecting electrode 4 distance.

The distance D2 is the distance passing through the arrangement position of the center C3 of the body portion 6a of the second discharge electrode 6 and the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4. That is, D2 is in the vertical direction (y direction) with respect to the arrangement direction of the dust collecting electrode 4, between the center C3 of the body portion 6a of the second discharge electrode 6 and the arrangement position (center axis) of the dust collecting electrode 4 distance.

Fig. 3 shows a front view of Fig. 1 viewed from the direction of the air flow G. As shown in the figure, the protrusions 5a and 5b are all provided at a specific interval in the height direction. Furthermore, the protrusions 5a and the protrusions 5b are set to have different phases, that is, they are alternately arranged at different positions along the z direction of the main body 5c.

FIG. 4 shows the positional relationship when the dust collecting electrode 4 and the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 are viewed in a plan view. The interval between the dust collecting electrodes 4 arranged in the airflow G direction, that is, in the x direction, is set to Pc, and the interval between the first discharge electrode 5 or the second discharge electrode 6 arranged in the x direction is set to Pd. Furthermore, the distance between the dust collecting electrodes 4 arranged in a vertical direction with respect to the direction of air flow G, that is, in the y direction, is set to 2D1 when the first discharge electrode 5 is in the middle, and the second discharge electrode 6 is in the middle. The distance of the case is set to 2D2. The diameter of the dust collecting electrode 4 is set as Dc.

In this embodiment, the offset position of the dust collecting electrode 4 is the position where the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 shifts from the central position CL to the y direction, which is set at 1.1 by the ratio of the distance D1 to the distance D2 The range of ≦D1/D2≦2.0 is better. It is better that the lower limit of D1/D2 is set to 1.2.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross section in a position corresponding to the height of the protrusion 5a of the first discharge electrode 5. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the main body part 5c of the 1st discharge electrode 5 has a circular cross section, and its diameter is set to Dd1. The protrusion length of the protrusion part 5a protruding from the main body part 5c is set to Lb. As shown in FIG. 4, the body portion 6a of the second discharge electrode 6 has a circular cross section, and its diameter is set to Dd2.

而且，集塵極4之中心從中央位置CL朝y方向偏移的偏移量Le藉由下式表示。

另外，在圖4及圖5中，雖然表示刺狀之突起部5a或在突起部5b之位置的剖面之例，但是實際上突起部5a、5b所佔據的部分係第1放電極5之一部分，相鄰的兩個突起部5a、5b間之部分佔據第1放電極5之大部分。因此，即使忽略突起部5a、5b之長度Lb而評估L1、L2亦可。When using the various factors shown in Figs. 4 and 5, L1 and L2 can be expressed as the following equations.

In addition, the shift amount Le by which the center of the dust collecting pole 4 shifts from the center position CL in the y direction is expressed by the following equation.

In addition, in FIGS. 4 and 5, although the thorn-like protrusion 5a or an example of the cross section at the position of the protrusion 5b is shown, in fact, the portion occupied by the protrusions 5a and 5b is a part of the first discharge electrode 5. , The part between the two adjacent protrusions 5a, 5b occupies most of the first discharge electrode 5. Therefore, even if the length Lb of the protrusions 5a, 5b is ignored, L1, L2 may be evaluated.

The distance between the dust collecting electrodes 4 arranged in the y direction, that is, 2D1 or 2D2, is set to 300 nm or more and 500 nm or less for general generation, for example. However, it can also be set to other sizes in other applications.

Next, using FIGS. 6A to 7B, the effect of the case where the dust collecting electrode 4 is shifted between the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 will be described.

Fig. 6A and Fig. 6B show the electric field intensity distribution in the case where the offset is set to 0 without offset, that is, the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 is set on the central position CL. As shown in Fig. 6A, between the protrusions 5a, 5b of the first discharge electrode 5 and the dust collecting electrode 4, as the corona current flows, the electric field intensity E1max near the dust collecting electrode 4 is determined by the negative ions and The space charge effect caused by the electric charge of the charged dust, and the electric field intensity rises relatively large. The electric field intensity (Ecr) of the spark discharge limit in the vicinity of the dust collecting electrode 4 becomes the condition of the maximum electric field intensity that can be applied (E1max≦Ecr).

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, between the second discharge electrode 6 and the dust collecting electrode 4 without protrusions, there is no space charge effect as shown in FIG. 6A, and the increase in electric field strength is small, so the dust collecting electrode 4 is near The electric field strength E2max is less than E1max.

In addition, since the areas A1 and A2 obtained by integrating the electric field intensity at the distances L1 and L2 respectively correspond to the applied voltage Vo, they are equivalent.

7A and 7B show the electric field intensity distribution between the first discharge electrode 5 and the dust collecting electrode 4 when the dust collecting electrode 4 is shifted from the center position CL, and the second discharge electrode corresponding to this embodiment. The electric field intensity distribution between 6 and the dust collecting electrode 4. Fig. 7A corresponds to Fig. 6A, and Fig. 7B corresponds to Fig. 6B.

As shown in Figures 7A and 7B, due to the offset of the electric field strength between the protrusions 5a, 5b and the dust collecting electrode 4, D1>D2, that is, L1>L2, is If the electric field strength E1max is When the voltage Vo is the same, it is lower than that in Fig. 6A and also smaller than E1ave. (=Vo/L1). In addition, due to the offset, compared to the case of FIG. 6B, L2 becomes smaller, and the average electric field intensity E2ave. becomes larger. Accordingly, the electric field intensity E2max near the dust collecting electrode 4 can be increased.

In general, although E1max is operated below the spark discharge limit electric field strength Ecr, the distance L1 between the protrusions 5a and 5b side is increased due to the offset. Therefore, in order to compare with the case of no offset, the distance L1 between the protrusions 5a and 5b becomes longer than before. With the same electric field strength as E1max, the applied line voltage Vn itself (Vn>Vo) can be increased, so the maximum electric field strength E2max on the opposite side of the protrusions 5a and 5b can also be increased. In this way, by offsetting and increasing the applied voltage, while maintaining the electric field intensity E1max equal to before the offset, while increasing E2max to the same level, the most effective dust collection near the dust collecting electrode 4 can be improved. The electric field strength at the location, and improve the collection efficiency caused by the Coulomb force. In addition, although the distance L1 on the side of the protrusions 5a, 5b where corona discharge is generated by the offset increases, the moving distance of the dust moving during this period increases, but due to the movement of the dust in this part, the main system ion wind, Therefore, a slight increase in the reaching distance or a decrease in the average electric field intensity on the way will not adversely affect the performance, because the increase in the electric field intensity E2max near the dust collecting electrode 4 of the dust surrounding the second discharge electrode 6 side of the dust collecting electrode 4 Increase, and thus can improve performance.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, compared to the conventional method in which only the discharge electrodes with protrusions (corona discharge parts) are provided on both sides, the second discharge electrode 6 without protrusions is also provided. The advantage of eliminating the interference of ion wind caused by adjacent discharge electrodes sandwiching the dust collecting electrode 4. That is, Since there is no or less ion wind flowing out of the second discharge electrode 6 in the dust collecting electrode 4, the charged dust will not be rolled back toward the first discharge electrode 5 side, and the charged dust can be brought close to the dust collecting electrode 4 . In addition, by providing the protruding portion 5a and the protruding portion 5b so as to be phase shifted, the influence of the ion wind from the side of the second discharge electrode 6 can be further reduced.

The amount of shift (D1/D2 ratio) is preferably adjusted so that the electric field intensity E1max on the side of the first discharge electrode 5 and the electric field intensity E2max on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 are equal. The example of the electric field intensity shown in FIGS. 6A to 7B is an example in which the tubular dust collecting electrode 4 is arranged at intervals, and the description is based on the shortest distance between L1 and L2. As an example of the electrode of the dust collecting electrode 4, there are also mesh-shaped electrodes, so in order to define the offset below, the distance between the arrangement position of the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 and the center C2 of the first discharge electrode 5 D1 and the distance D2 between the arrangement position of the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 and the center C3 of the second discharge electrode 6 are summarized and shown. In this case, even if it is a tubular electrode, since it is not L1 and L2, even if it is evaluated by D1 and D2, the practical range is considered to be slightly equal, so there is no problem.

The range in which the electric field strength of the two becomes equal is, for example, 1.5≦D1/D2≦1.8. However, depending on the operating conditions of the electric dust collector 1 or the conditions of the dust collecting electrode 4, the first discharge electrode 5, or the second discharge electrode 6, the optimum D1/D2 range varies.

The lower limit of the ratio D/D2 between the distance D1 and the distance D2 is, for example, 1.1, and more preferably 1.2. As shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to obtain insights into the change in the relationship between the flow rate of the air flow G, the offset amount and the dust collection performance. When the airflow G is relatively fast, if D1/D2 becomes 1.1 or more, the dust collection performance is improved. When airflow G When it is relatively slow, when D1/D2 becomes 1.2 or more, the dust collection performance is improved. In this range, when the airflow G is relatively fast, the dust collection performance is surely improved.

In the condition that the flow rate of the air flow G is fast, the influence of the Coulomb force is greater, so the increase of the electric field intensity is affected, and the dust collection performance is improved even at a relatively small deviation (for example, 1.1≦D1/D2). In this regard, in a slow flow rate condition, the ion wind has a large influence, so in order to increase the electric field strength and improve the dust collection performance, a larger offset (for example, 1.2≦D1/D2) is required. If it is 1.2≦D1/D2, regardless of the flow rate of the air flow G, the dust collection performance can be improved.

When the offset is too large and the distance between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6 is extremely reduced, since the electric field intensity near the dust collecting electrode 4 becomes E2max>E1max, it is on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 that does not have protrusions. The spark discharge limit intensity of 5A becomes a restrictive condition in operation, and the performance on the side of the first discharge electrode 5 with the protrusions 5a and 5b cannot be exerted, so it is not ideal. Accordingly, it is better to set the maximum offset in the range where E2max does not exceed E1max by much.

Fig. 9 shows an analysis and comparison of the corona discharge side when D1/D2 is changed in an electric dust collector 1 for general industrial use (the side with protrusions 5a, 5b on the body part 5c of the first discharge electrode 5) , That is, the electric field intensity near the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side of the discharge line with thorns, and the electric field intensity near the dust collecting electrode 4 on the electric field side (the side of the second discharge electrode 6, which is the side without thorns) example. The current and voltage, which are the operating conditions of the electric dust collector 1, are raised together. In Fig. 9, as the curve moves from the left curve to the right curve, the current and voltage become higher.

In either case, in the case of D1/D2=1, due to the The dust collecting electrode 4 on the side with the thorn is closer to the length of the thorn, and the effect of the space charge electric field increase caused by the corona current is also added, so the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side with the thorn is The electric field strength is relatively high. Moreover, as the current increases, the effect of its increase becomes greater, and the value of the electric field intensity becomes higher.

In addition, the case of any of the curves in FIG. 9 shows the tendency of the electric field intensity of the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side without thorns to increase unambiguously as D1/D2 increases. Ideally, the point where the electric field strength of the side with thorns and the side without thorns are the same is considered to obtain the most balanced electric field intensity distribution. However, in actual operation, the optimal conditions vary due to the combination of various conditions. Therefore, even in the test results regarding the improvement of dust collection performance when D1/D2 in FIG. 8 is changed, the optimum point of dust collection performance has a certain degree of deviation.

Furthermore, the curve on the right side of Fig. 9 shows that during the operation that increases the current and voltage, especially in the region where the offset is large in D1/D2, the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side without thorns first exceeds the The spark discharge electric field intensity of the general industrial electric dust collector 1 (although this varies greatly depending on the composition of the gas or the operating temperature conditions, it is generally set to 8kV/cm~12kV/cm), so it is not ideal.

More specifically, it is better to set D1/D2≦2.0.

When D1/D2 exceeds 2.0, the electric field intensity on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 reaches the area where spark discharge occurs under normal operating conditions of the electric dust collector 1, or is close to the reached value. Therefore, it is difficult to operate stably due to the restriction of the operating conditions of the electric dust collector 1. Therefore, the upper limit of D1/D2 is preferably set to 2.0.

Next, the operation of the electric dust collector 1 of this embodiment will be explained. Made.

In the electric dust collector 1, by applying a negative voltage from the power supply to the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6, a corona discharge is generated at the ends of the protrusions 5a and 5b. The dust contained in the air flow G is charged by the corona discharge. In the collection principle of the conventional electric dust collector, although the charged dust is attracted to the grounded dust collecting electrode 4 by the Coulomb force, it becomes trapped on the dust collecting electrode 4, but in fact it is affected by the ion wind Cause a great effect.

When corona discharge occurs, negative ions are generated in the vicinity of the protrusions 5a and 5b, and the negative ions move toward the dust collecting electrode 4 by the electric field to generate ion wind. Therefore, when the Coulomb force acts on the dust, the ion wind flowing toward the dust collecting electrode 4 acts to move the dust contained in the airflow G to the vicinity of the dust collecting electrode 4. Moreover, in the area near the dust collecting electrode 4, the Coulomb force is increased by the increase of the electric field intensity, and the dust is collected effectively. Furthermore, by arranging the dust collecting electrodes 4 arranged in circular tubes at intervals in the specific airflow G direction, that is, in the x direction, a part of the ion wind flowing from the protrusions 5a, 5b toward the dust collecting electrode 4 is allowed to face The back side of the dust collecting electrode 4 is leaking. According to this, since the airflow of the ion wind being reversed and separated at the dust collecting electrode 4 can be suppressed, the collection efficiency can be improved.

Part of the ion wind that contains dust and flows toward the dust collecting electrodes 4 passes between the dust collecting electrodes 4.

In addition, between the second discharge electrode 6 and the dust collecting electrode 4 that do not have protrusions, as described with reference to FIG. 7B, by shifting the dust collecting electrode 4 from the center position CL toward the second discharge electrode 6 side, it shrinks. The narrow distance between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6 can increase the electric field intensity E2max near the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 compared with no offset. According to this, even the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 effectively collects dust by the Coulomb force. That is, by the ion wind from the side of the first discharge electrode 5, the uncollected dust that wraps around to the back surface of the dust collecting electrode 4, that is, on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 can be efficiently collected.

The dust collected to the dust collecting pole 4 is stripped and recovered by hammering. Or, even if the dust collecting electrode 4 is moved and the dust is scraped off with a brush, or wet cleaning is acceptable.

With this implementation type, the following effects can be achieved. Since the center C1 of the dust collecting electrode 4 is located at the center position CL between the center C2 of the first discharge electrode 5 and the center C3 of the second discharge electrode 6 further away from the direction of the first discharge electrode 5, the dust collecting electrode 4 It is close to the second discharge electrode 6. Accordingly, the intensity of the electric field between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6 can be increased, and even the dust collecting electrode 4 on the side of the second discharge electrode 6 can increase the dust collection efficiency due to the Coulomb force.

In the above embodiment, although an example in which the dust collecting electrode 4 is a circular tube has been described, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the dust collecting electrode 4 may be a flat dust collecting electrode like a punched metal having many holes formed on a flat plate. Alternatively, the dust collecting electrode 4 may be a braided metal mesh (for example, a lock crimp braided metal mesh, etc.) in which metal wires are crossed in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction. The dust collecting electrode 4, the first discharge electrode 5, and the second discharge electrode 6 are arranged as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12. Because the woven metal mesh has a certain aperture ratio and has no edges on the surface, the electric field intensity near the dust collecting electrode 4 can be increased equally. In addition, the metal mesh is not limited to a woven metal mesh, and may be a metal mesh that is arranged in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction and connects wires of a circular cross-section like a welded metal mesh.

When the electric dust collector 1 is used as an air cleaner for air purification, the time for particles to stay in the device is short, and the particle concentration is also low. In addition, the electric dust collector 1 used in a thermal power plant is different from the one used in air purification. It has a larger scale, longer particle retention time, and higher particle concentration. In the electric dust collector 1 for air purification, when low-concentration particles are passed with a short residence time, due to the effect of the gas circulation generated by the ion wind from the first discharge electrode 5, the dust collector 4 cannot Capture particles.

Therefore, even if the gas blocking plate 7 is provided on the upstream side of the air flow G between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6. Since the airflow G is blocked by the gas blocking plate 7, the flow rate of the airflow flowing between the dust collecting electrode 4 and the second discharge electrode 6 is reduced, the retention time of particles is increased, and the collecting performance of the dust collecting electrode 4 can be improved.

In the case where the dust collecting electrode 4 is a flat dust collecting electrode, as shown in FIG. 13, even if it is set as a folded plate dust collecting electrode in which flat sheets of punched metal or metal mesh are alternately and regularly folded in the direction of air flow G It is also possible. In this case, the first discharge electrode 5 and the second discharge electrode 6 are offset according to the unevenness of the facing folded plate.
