Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrostatic filter system according to the preamble of the independent claim and a filter set according to the preamble of a further independent claim. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for operating an electrostatic filter system and a method for assembling the inventive filter set to an exhaust pipe or an exhaust stack and the use of the filter set for equipping or retrofitting exhaust systems.
  • Electrostatic separators for exhaust gas purification generally include at least one spray electrode and a precipitation electrode as the counter electrode.
  • the surfaces of the electrodes face each other as far as possible distance uniform.
  • the surface of the collecting electrode can be made quite large in comparison to the surface of the spray.
  • Known electrostatic precipitators consist for example of parallel collecting electrodes, which are grounded together with the housing.
  • the collecting electrodes form passages through which the gas to be purified flows.
  • spray electrodes Between the precipitation electrodes in the lanes are spray electrodes. These are suspended electrically isolated and are supplied with rectified high voltage, which is usually between 20 to 100kV.
  • the dust particles or mist droplets contained in the exhaust gas are electrically negatively charged during flow through the separator between the electrodes and transported under the influence of a strong electric field to the grounded collecting electrodes where they are separated or filtered out.
  • the spray electrodes are usually mounted on a fixed frame. By this measure, the position of the electrodes is fixed.
  • the electrodes are often hung on one side and provided with a draw weight.
  • the electrodes are often connected together via a frame and thus held in position.
  • the high-voltage electrode is at a potential up to about 100kV, the precipitation surface at the potential of the earth. Due to the different potentials, the opposing poles attract each other and, when approaching each other, can lead to a short circuit which impairs the operation.
  • the electrode is normally tensioned between two points or provided with a reset weight.
  • the restoring moment M gr caused by the weight F g remains approximately constant at a constant deflection S1 (eg 0.1 m) and changing electrode length L e .
  • the restoring force F gr becomes smaller with a longer electrode (smaller deflection angle ⁇ )
  • the lever electrowetting force
  • a system with tube filter is disclosed.
  • the suspended electrodes can be vibrated by electromagnets and thereby cleaned.
  • the magnets can also serve to stabilize the electrodes. This is accomplished in one embodiment by pairs of magnets, wherein the respective first magnet of a pair is attached to the electrodes as weighting weight and the respective second magnet of a pair is arranged at a distance below the respective first, weighting magnet in the exhaust duct.
  • the mutual vertical attraction of the magnets of each pair of magnets ensures a vertical tightening of the electrode.
  • a disadvantage of this embodiment is that the lower magnets are mounted on a scaffold, which is arranged in the exhaust pipe. As a result, the effective pipe diameter is reduced, the passage for cleaning brushes is blocked and defects and maintenance work on scaffold and / or magnet are due to the poor accessibility only partially correctable.
  • All hanging electrodes are attached at their lower end to a common weighting arrangement.
  • the respective first magnets of four pairs of magnets are mounted evenly distributed on the edge of the weighting arrangement.
  • the second magnets (counter magnets) of each pair are fixed at a distance from the respective first magnets of a pair on the inner periphery of the exhaust passage.
  • This arrangement should allow a centering of the magnets.
  • the clamping of the discharge electrodes in the axial direction is shown by the outer magnets, which are axially offset below the magnets attached to the discharge electrodes, act attractively on the magnets of the discharge electrodes.
  • the centering and stabilization of elongated electrodes in the exhaust duct should be improved.
  • a method of centering and stabilization is to be found, which is suitable for short and long high voltage electrodes, which may be flexible or rigid.
  • the method should also be effective for very narrow and / or curved exhaust pipes.
  • the cleaning should be possible in the simplest way with the brush from above or below.
  • a free-hanging high voltage electrode is particularly well centered in the said electrostatic filter system and stabilized due to the magnetic repulsion forces.
  • the magnetic centering disclosed here thus also serves for vibration damping and possibly vibration suppression.
  • the elongate spray electrode can be designed as a rod electrode.
  • a rod is expediently stiff, whereby vibrations during operation are suppressed.
  • the rod is also bendable or flexible at the same time. The bending ability may e.g. be advantageous when inserting the rod electrode in the exhaust passage. When cleaning with a brush also differs a flexible rod better. All these advantages are e.g. united in a along the longitudinal direction cambered rod.
  • another electrode may be used, e.g. a cable electrode, a wire electrode or a chain electrode.
  • the Magnetzentriansssystem shown for electrostatic filter systems is equipped with only a single spray.

  • the first magnetic element is expediently designed as a bar magnet.
  • the north-south axis is in this case advantageously aligned parallel to the longitudinal direction of the elongated or elongate spray electrode.

Due to this arrangement, the magnetic elements can act on each other in such a way that the first magnetic element is influenced by the opposing magnetic forces. In particular, the second magnetic element or its individual magnets can surround the first magnetic element in a satellite-like manner.
  • the small height difference between the possible positions of the first magnetic element may be considered as an approximately equal height level region. This height difference is usually within an acceptable tolerance for the first and second magnetic element to be placed together.
  • the second magnetic element or the individual magnets of the second magnetic element is or are advantageously arranged approximately on the same plane, in particular approximately the same height as the first magnetic element.
  • the term "about” in this context means that there is some tolerance for deviations. The tolerance range may depend on the magnets used and their mutual arrangement. For magnets, which are arranged with their north-south axis perpendicular to the common plane, it can be approximately assumed that a mutual displacement of the common plane by half its length (ie by half the length of the north-south axis) is tolerable , If the length of the north-south axis of the first and second magnets or of the first and second magnetic element is not the same, then the length of the shorter north-south axis is relevant.

  • the second peripheral magnetic element e.g. Permanent magnets, AlNi-Co magnets, Neodymium magnets.
  • heat-resistant magnets are also interesting here, since an exhaust gas flow compared to the ambient temperature usually has a significantly elevated temperature and would otherwise demagnetize the magnets.
  • the individual magnets of the second magnetic element expediently clamp an imaginary connecting line which surrounds the first magnetic element or at least its axial extension. Due to the mutual repulsive influence of the field lines, the first, central magnetic element and thus the spray electrode can be caught or held in position.

  • the FIGS. 10 and 11 now show the torques occurring, taking into account the magnetic centering. As additional torque, the magnetic torque was inserted. The sign here is the same as for Torque of weight (draft weight 27) and opposite to the electrostatic force. Due to the summation of all torques, there is no change of sign when deflecting to one side over the entire possible deflection range. This means that the electrode 11 experiences a centering force or centering torque to the center over the entire deflection range.
  • the magnetic restoring forces F m can clearly exceed the effect of the restoring forces F gr established on the weight with relatively little deflection.
  • the positioning of a long discharge electrode 11 can be significantly improved by the additional use of repelling magnets. Vibrations and short circuit can thus be effectively suppressed or prevented.

  • Each of these magnet groups 39 and 40 is thus composed of first and second magnetic elements and each first and second magnetic element of a group is arranged at approximately the same height on the chimney 9.
  • Central and peripheral magnets can be designed as bar magnets, see Fig. 2 . 5 or enlarged Fig. 6 , Optionally, however, it is also possible to use magnets of a different design.
  • horseshoe magnets 45 can be demonstrated on the periphery. As with the central bar magnet 31, the effective poles of the horseshoe magnet 45 are aligned in a vertical axis, with the same sense of direction as the central bar magnet. Horseshoe magnets 45 have the advantage that their magnetic field lines (especially when used in peripheral position) can be directed mainly into the exhaust gas interior.
  • the centering of the electrode can alternatively be done via one or more magnetic rings.
  • one or more magnetic rings are advantageously placed around the chimney, in particular at the level of a central magnet or a plurality of central magnets, which are attached to the spray electrode.
