Method and apparatus for dislodging accumulated dust from dust collecting elements

摘要: An electrostatic precipitator for industrial dusts has dustcollecting elements mounted transverse vibration and vibrating means that insures maximum effectiveness in dislodging dust accumulations, without the destructive longitudinal rapping techniques customarily employed by art. The dust-collecting are hinge mounted, either individually on respective axes or collectively an axis common, with extending general parallelism vibratory motion, i.e. waves travel along lengths of elements, so no force moments transmitted to supporting structure. Vibratory motion is applied any suitable means, such as vibrators various conventional types, through a moment arm located at adjacent mounting. preferably controlled match natural frequency selected basis possessing easily induced frequencies. entire structure advantageously resiliently respect enclosing housing its framework.
