  • Publication number: 20220347697
    Abstract: A system for the purification of the particulate present in fumes and in exhaust gases in combustion processes comprises an Ionizing Part (PI) and a Collection Pan (PR). The Ionizing Part (PI) comprises a perforated portion (40, 50) with at least one electron emitter in the holes (42, 52), consisting of one or more tips (P) to which a negative voltage is applied to create an electron cloud. The negative power supply is provided by a constant voltage generator. The fumes and exhaust gases arc passed through the Ionizing Part (PI) to transfer a negative charge to the particles of the particulate present in the flow of fumes and exhaust gases. The Collection Part (PR) comprises a plurality of positively loaded facing and spaced plates (22b) interposed with a plurality of shield plates (20b) to which no voltage is applied and are not connected to ground, to collect the particles of particulate previously negatively charged.

  • Patent number: 10005086
    Abstract: A particulate filtration apparatus for exhaust, combustion or other gases includes an enclosure for the output of a flow of such gases, prior to their release into the outside environment. An internal duct crossed by the flow and affected by a perforated conducting plate is kept at a negative electrical potential, for emission and dispersion in the duct of electrons coupled to polluting particles carried by the flow and substantially constituting the particulate, consequently giving them a negative electrical charge. Along the duct downstream of the perforated plate is an accumulation plate, kept at a positive electrical potential, for the attraction and stable adhesion of the electrically charged particles on the accumulation plate. A conducting filament at a negative electrical potential adjacent at least one opening of the perforated plate is a primary source of emission and dispersion of electrons which are coupled to particles carried by the flow.

  • Publication number: 20150360233
    Abstract: A particulate filtration apparatus, for exhaust gases, combustion gases and the like, comprising an enclosure (2) that can be arranged along a circuit (3) for the output of a flow of exhaust gases, combustion gases and the like, prior to their release into the outside environment. The enclosure (2) defines internally a duct (4) that can be crossed by the flow and is affected by a perforated conducting plate (5), kept at a negative electrical potential, for the emission and dispersion in the duct (4) of electrons that can be coupled to polluting particles (B) carried by the flow and substantially constituting the particulate, consequently giving them a negative electrical charge. Along the duct (4), downstream of the perforated plate (5), there is at least one accumulation plate (6), which is kept at a positive electrical potential, for the attraction and stable adhesion of the electrically charged particles (B) on the accumulation plate (6).

  • Patent number: 5492557
    Abstract: The filter device for air purification has an electrification grid supplied with a high voltage of negative polarity and arranged on a plane transverse to an air flow for negatively charging particles present in the air. A partition is arranged at an angle in front of the electrification grid so as to convey the stream of air toward a narrower region. A negatively charged deflector plate and a positively charged collector plate, which face one another at a short distance, delimit a respective narrower region for respectively repelling and attracting the negatively charged particles. A germicidal lamp is arranged at an opening of the deflector plate and illuminates the collector plate substantially along its entire length in a direction which is transverse to the air flow.
