Abstract: An electro-precipitator discharge electrode comprises connected upper and lower sections and each section comprises an elongated mast tube, a plurality of principal cross members, and a plurality of twisted discharge wires extending between the cross members and fixed therein by crimping. Upper and lower auxiliary cross members are provided to give longitudinal rigidity to the discharge electrode.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for containing fume emanating from the surface of molten iron or slag flowing along an open stretch of runner in a casthouse comprises directing an air curtain across the open stretch of runner.
Abstract: A circuit for controlling the rectifier circuit in an electrostatic dust precipitator, the circuit being an oscillator circuit utilising a pair of alternately conducting transistors and a timing circuit controlling conduction of one of the transistors, the other transistor controlling the circuit output.
