Patent number: 11185871Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) system (1) for removal of particles from a flue gas flowing in a flow passage (4) being delimited by a primary collection in the form of a collection plate (5). The system comprises a discharge electrode (11) arranged in the flow passage and connected to a high voltage generator (12) providing for an electric field around the discharge electrode. The system further has a secondary collection electrode in the form of a grid (101) arranged within the collection plate and made of an electrically conductive material. The presence of such a grid improves the efficiency of the precipitator. In some embodiments, the ESP system comprises an actuator (112) for moving the grid upwards and letting it drop onto an internal bottom structure (109). The movement between the collection plate and the grid as well as the impact force imparted to the dropping grid both result in a removal of collected particles.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: exodraft A/SInventors: Peter Hermansen, Seyednezamaddin Azizaddini, Per Holm Hansen

Patent number: 10982850Abstract: The present invention relates to a flow measurement system for controlling a gas fireplace (1) comprising a flow passage (11) in fluid communication with the gas fireplace by use of a differential pressure pressostat (13). A first gauge connector (14) is in the flow passage and connected to a first pressure sensor in the differential pressure pressostat for measuring a total pressure in a fluid flowing in the flow passage. A second gauge connector (15) is arranged near the first gauge connector and connected to a second pressure sensor in the differential pressure pressostat for measuring a static pressure in the fluid flowing in the flow passage. Based on these measures a dynamic pressure, and there from the flow velocity, in the fluid flowing in the flow passage is determined and used to switch off the gas fireplace, when the flow becomes below a set threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: exodraft a/sInventors: Klaus Damm Kristiansen, Jan Schmidt-Mogensen

Patent number: 9599339Abstract: Impeller for a motor-driven chimney draft system, comprising a flue gas impeller (10) for creating, in a flue gas passage, a draft in a flue gas downstream direction. A flue gas deflector disk (20) is situated downstream relative to the flue gas impeller (10) and connected to the flue gas impeller (10); and a hub for connecting the impeller to an end portion of a driving shaft of a motor (100), wherein the hub and the end portion of the driving shaft, when connected, are both situated downstream relative to the flue gas deflector disk (20), the hub indirectly connected to the flue gas deflector disk (20) by means of intermediate members. Advantageously the intermediate members are impeller blades (40) connected to the downstream side of the flue gas deflector disk (20) and to a venting disk (30) with venting holes (31, 32) so as to form a turbine.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: EXODRAFT A/SInventors: Jesper Hojer Kristensen, Kurt Pedersen
