Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to electrostatic air purifying apparatus, and more specifically to an improved means whereby the operating conditions of the unit may be monitored at a remote location.
  • The'conventional power supply for an electrostatic filtering system is generally comprised of a step-up transformer and a voltage multiplying device for converting alternating current at normal line voltage to direct current at a relatively high voltage.
  • the ionizing electrodes and one set of collecting plates are then generally connected in parallel and energized by the output from the voltage multiplying device. With the ionizing electrodes and the collecting plates connected in parallel, the same voltage appears across each. For proper ionization of the gas particles, it is necessary that a high potential difference exists between the ionizer electrodes and their associated ground plates.
  • the remote indicating means When the remote indicating means is located in the living area, it becomes desirable to connect the device in the low voltage or primary side of the power supply. By doing so, the need for running wires at a high voltage into the living area is eliminated.
  • current limiting means are utilized between the ionizing and collecting sections to prevent arcing, it is found that the occurrence of a fault in the collecting section of the elecice trostatic filter unit does not load down the power supply sufficiently to give a measurable indication of this fault. For example, dirt and lint may build up on the collecting plates to asufficient depthv to cause a shorting of the collector plates without causing an indication of this condition to. be given at the remote location.
  • I provide means for introducing a substantial load on the power supply, only, in the event of a short circuit, or reduction in voltage as by excessive leakage current in the col-lecting section which, in turn, causes a measurable increase in the current flowing in the primary winding of the power supply transformer.
  • Another object of my invention is to provide a novel arrangement whereby a remote indication of faulty operation of an electrostatic filter unit may be obtained.
  • Still another object of my invention is to provide means whereby a remote indication of faulty operation can be obtained in an electrostatic gas purifying system of the type incorporating are preventing means.
  • FIGURE 1 discloses, in schematic form, a power supply circuit for an electrostatic precipitator which illustrates my invention.
  • FIGURE 2 discloses, in schematic form, a somewhat modified power supply circuit wherein certain components have been added to improve the operation of the system.
  • the power supply for the electrostatic precipitator is shown as being enclosed in a casing 10.
  • the power supply includes a step-up transformer 12 having a primary winding 14 and a secondary winding 16.
  • Conductors 18 and 20 connect the primary winding 14 to a pair of terminals 22 and 24 which, in turn, are adapted to be connected to a source of normal line voltage.
  • a door interlock switch 26 Connected into conductor 18 in series with the primary winding 14 is a door interlock switch 26 and a fault indicating means 28.
  • the fault indicating means 28 may be an alternating current ammeter properly calibrated and labeled so as to inform the occupant at all times of the condition of operation of the filtering system.
  • the indicating means 28, being on the low voltage or primary side of the power supply 10, may conveniently be located in the living area of the residence in which the system is used whereas the power supply itself may be conveniently located in close proximity to the forced air heating system used which is usually located in a basement area.
  • a pair of rectifier diodes 30 and 32 and a pair of capacitors 34 and 36 are connected in a conventional manner with the secondary winding 16 of the power supply transformer 12 to provide voltage rectification and multiplica-' tion. More specifically, a conductor 38 connects a first terminal '40 of the secondary winding 16 to the anode of the diode rectifier 30. The cathode of this diode is connected by means of conductors 42 and 44 to the capacitor 34. A conductor 46 connects the other side of capacitor 34 to the terminal 48 of secondary winding 16. Similarly, the cathode of the diode 32 is connected by means of a conductor 50 to the transformer secondary winding terminal 40. The anode of the diode 32 is connected by The other side of capacitor 36 is connected by means of conductors 54 and 46 to the secondary winding terminal 48. The conductor 52 is grounded at junction 56.
  • a precipitator of the type to which my invention relates comprises an ionizing section for ionizing or charging the dust particles in the air fiow, and a precipitating section for precipitating the ionized or charged dust upon dust-precipitating or dustcollecting means.
  • the ionizing section of the electrostatic filter is indicated generally by the numeral 60 and includes one or more ionizing electrodes 62 and one or more plates 64 which are connected to ground by' means of a conductor 66.
  • the particle collection section of the electrostatic filter is indicated generally by the numeral 67.
  • the collecting section includes a first-set of plates 68 and a second set of plates 70 which are spaced apart from one another in any of a number of well known ways.
  • One manner of construction of the ionizing and collecting sections of an electronic precipitator is shown in my United States Patent Number 3,028,715.
  • the collector plates 70 are connected by means of a conductor 72 to ground potential.
  • a conductor 74 connects the output terminal 58 of the power supply to the ionizing electrodes 62.
  • the output terminal 58 is also connected through conductor 74 and the current limiting means 76 to the collecting plates 68.
  • the spacing between the positive collecting plates 68 and the grounded collecting plates 70 is relatively small.
  • the air separating these plates break down and to cause very severe and continuous arcing in the collector unless steps are taken to reduce or eliminate this effect.
  • the most effective way of reducing the tendency for are over in the collector is to include the current limiting resistor 76 in the high voltage line between the ionizer electrode 62 and the positive collector plates 68.
  • the tendency to arc between the positive plates 68 and the ground plates 70 is accompanied with an increase in current flowing through the current limiting resistor 76.
  • This increase in current results in an increase in the voltage drop across this resistor so as to reduce the potential difference between the positive plates 68 and the ground plates 70. By reducing this potential difference the tendency to are is also reduced.
  • I therefore provide a pair of shorting terminals 82 and 84 which are arranged to cooperate with a grounded shorting bar 86 activated through linkage 88 by the access door 78.
  • the terminal 82 is connected by means of a conductor 90 to the ionizing electrode 62 whereas the terminal 84 is connected by means of a conductor 92 to the positive collecting plates.
  • the grounded shorting bar 86 When the door is open, the grounded shorting bar 86 is made to bridge the terminals 82 and 84 which grounds the high voltage side of the ionizer and collector. As can be seen from the circuit diagram, the shorting bar also causes the capacitors 34 and 36 to be discharged when it is made to bridge terminals 82 and 84.
  • the current sensing means located in the primary circuit of the power supply is an ammeter, which is rated to give a normal reading in the center of its scale when the electrostatic filtering system is working properly, several system faults can be detected.
  • a shorted or open ionizer, a shorted or open rectifier, or a shorted or open filter capacitor causes a lower than normal meter reading.
  • An arcing ionizer can readily be detected because this condition causes the meter reading to fluctuate over a wide range.
  • current limiting means are employed in the system to prevent arcing in the collector, an abnormally low impedance such as a short circuit in the collecting section will not cause a perceptible deflection of the meter.
  • I have provided an arrangement whereby a current sensing device normally used to monitor the system operation can also be used to indicate a shorted collecting section, all this being done without requiring any additional apparatus or equipment.
  • FIGURE 2 discloses a somewhat modified power supply circuit having certain additional components which are effective to improve the operation of the system and the circuit shown in FIGURE 2 may thus be considered as an improvement over the circuit shown in FIGURE 1 and previously described. While the circuit disclosedin FIGURE 1 functions as described above to render the ,meter 28 sensitive to an unusually low impedance condition in the collector 67, it has been found that continued arcing between the terminals 82 and 84 over an extended period of time and the resulting relatively high current flow and severe transients through the power supply, has had a destructive effect upon the-capacitors 34 and 36. This problem can, of course, be overcome by the use of very high quality capacitors which are able to withstand these conditions. However such capacitors are quite expensive and would increase appreciably the cost of the system. I
  • an arc quenching impedance means generally designated by the numeral 100 has been connected in conductor 90 between terminal 82 and the positive plates 62 of the ionizer 60.
  • Arc quenching means 100 comprises a relatively small capacitor 101 and a relatively high ohmic value resistor 102 connected in parallel therewith.
  • a relatively small resistor 103 is connected in series with the parallel combination of capacitor 101 and resistor 102 to reduce the current flow through capacitor 101. The operation of the circuit with the arc quenching means 100 added thereto will be described hereinafter.
  • FIGURE 1 the ammeter 28 has been shown connected directly in series with the 120 volt line power source. In many applications, however, it is desired that low voltage wiring be used between the basement where the air cleaner would normally be located and the upstairs living area where the ammeter 28 is normally located. This can readily be accomplished as shown in FIGURE 2 by providing a step down transformer 104 having a primary winding 105 connected in series with primary 14 of transformer 12. Secondary coil 106 is connected to conductors 107 and 110 which extend upward through the floor, a section of which is shown diagrammatically at 111, to meter 28 in the living area of the house.
  • Transformer 104 is effective to reduce the voltage supplied to meter 28 from line voltage to a considerably lower voltage.
  • An indicating light 112 may also be connected into the low voltage circuit of transformer 104 in series with meter 28. Indicating light 112, if used, is preferably not responsive to the normal flow of current through the low voltage circuit of transformer 104, but is responsive only to the increased flow which occurs therethrough during a period when arcing occurs between terminals 82 and 84.
  • indicating means such as light 112 and meter 28 previously described
  • Such indicating means has been shown in dotted form as an indicating light 113 which may be connected in conductor 92 between terminal 84 and positive plates 68 of the collector 67.
  • An additional indicating light 114 has been shown in dotted form located between terminal 56 in the power supply and ground.
  • indicating devices 113 and 114 need not be positioned within the circuit exactly as described above, but might be located any place in the circuit where they will be efiFective to indicate the increased current flow through the system which occurs when arcing takes place between terminals 82 and 84.
  • FIGURE 2 The operation of the system disclosed in FIGURE 2 is substantially the same as that described in connection with FIGURE 1 with the exception of the function of arc quenching impedance means 100.
  • the circuit shown in FIGURE 1 once arcing had begun between terminals 82 and 84 as a result of an abnormally low impedance condition in the collector 67, this arcing would continue as long as the voltage was supplied or until the abnormal condition therein was corrected.
  • an abnormally low impedance condition in the collector 67 will again result in a large potential difference across the current limiting resistor 76. This large potential difference will also occur across the critically spaced terminals 82 and 84. This results in a breakdown of the air between terminals 82 and 84 and an arc therebetween.
  • Resistor 103 is merely effective to reduce the intensity of the are. This current flow decreases as the charge on capacitor 101 increases and when capacitor 101 is substantially charged, the current flow drops to a level so that the arc is extinguished. The charge on capacitor 101 is then gradually bled off through by-pass resistor 102. When capacitor 101 is sufl'iciently discharged, the potential ditfercnce across terminals 82 and 84 will again initiate an arc thereacross and capacitor 101 is again charged. This action is repetitive and capacitor 101 will be alternately charged through resistor 103 and then discharged through resistor 102 as long as voltage is supplied or until the malfunction in the collector is corrected. It can thus be seen that are quenching means 100 is effective to periodically terminate the arcing between terminals 82 and 84. Thus the transient currents in the power supply are also somewhat limited and are periodically interrupted and damage to capacitors 34 and 36 is thus prevented.
  • transformer 12 When current flow occurs between the terminals 82 and 84, transformer 12 is loaded so that there is additional current flow in the primary side thereof. Therefore additional current flow also occurs in the primary side of transformer 104 and is indicated by the indicating means in the living area.
  • the periodic quenching of the are between terminals 82 and 84 will result in an oscillation of the indicator in ammeter 28 and in periodic flashing of the indicator light 112.
  • the indicating light 112 and ammeter 28 may be used together or either ofthem may be used independently of the other if so desired.
  • the malfunction in the collector 67 of the electrostatic precipitator is indicated in the living area of the dwelling by the indicating light 112 and ammeter 28, a malfunction may also be indicated at the precipitator by the lights 113 and 114.
