  • Patent number: 9630186
    Abstract: A method of cleaning at least one collecting electrode of an electrostatic precipitator includes applying, in a first mode of operation, a first average current between at least one discharge electrode and at least one collecting electrode, and switching from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in which a second average current is applied between the at least one discharge electrode and the at least one collecting electrode, the second average current being a factor of at least 3 higher than the first average current, to achieve a forced cleaning of the at least one collecting electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5031468
    Abstract: In a flow meter that works on the Coriolis principle there is provided a single tube that is bent to have two measuring loops. Upper and lower tube attachment end portions are respectively connected through resilient tubular portions to the opposite ends of the two loops and may be part of the single tube. The loops are superposed and from the juncture of the loops and through at least parts of the attachment end portions are of a continuous downward gradient such that the fluid column in the flow meter will divide and drain through the attachment end portions. Two blocks have tube holder portions for retaining the loop first ends and the measuring loops opposite ends in vertical spaced relationship and connecting the attachment end portions together. The measuring loops are oscilatable in opposite directions while sensors are provided adjacent to the measuring loops for measuring the relative movement of the loops relative to one another to provide a measurement of the fluid flow through the loops.

  • Patent number: 5020375
    Abstract: In a flow meter that works on the Coriolis principle there is provided a single tube that is bent to have two measuring loops and a single tube section that connects the adjacent ends of the measuring loops. Tubular attachment end portions are respectively connected through resilient tubular portions to the opposite ends of the two loops and may be part of the single tube. Two blocks have tube holder portions for having the tubular section and the measuring loops opposite ends adjacent their juncture to the resilient portions and the attachment portions adjacent their juncture to the resilient portions respectively extended therethrough. The measuring loops are oscilatable in the opposite direction while sensors are provided adjacent to the measuring loops for measuring the relative movement of the loops relative to one another to provide a measurement of the fluid flow through the loops.
