Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for gene- rating an air flow with the aid of a so-called electric ion- wind, and for cleaning the air of contaminants.
  • an air flow can be generated with the aid of an arrangement which includes a corona electrode and a target electrode which are spaced from one another and each of which is connected to a respective pole of a direct voltage source, wherein the form of the corona electrode, the potential dif ⁇ ference and the distance between the corona electrode and the target electrode are such as to generate a corona discharge on the corona electrode.
  • the generated air ions migrate or wander quickly to the target electrode under the influence of the electric field that exists between the corona electrode and the target electrode and there surrender their electric charge.
  • PCT/SE85/00538 is the first publication to describe in more detail those para ⁇ meters which determine the magnitude of the ion wind, more specifically to describe that the force which drives the air flow in a given direction, i.e. the ion wind, is dependent on the product of the magnitude of the ion current and the dis ⁇ tance travelled in the direction concerned. It is also known that in addition to generating an air flow an arrangement of the fundamental kind described above can be used also to cleanse the air flow from aerosol contaminants, i.e. solid particles and/or liquid droplets.
  • the air ions generated by the corona discharge are instrumen ⁇ tal in charging the airborne contaminants with an electric charge of the same polarity as the air ions, and consequently the contaminants will tend to precipitate electrostatically and adhere to the target electrode and possibly to other electrodes or surfaces that have the same electric polarity as the target electrode.
  • the volumetric air throughput generated by the arrangement per unit of time shall be large in relation to the dimensions of the arrangement;
  • the arrangement shall be effective in cleansing the air flow of aerosol contaminants
  • the arrangement shall be operationally reliable and with small risk of electric spark-overs or spark discharges, despite the unavoidable collection of dirt on the arrangement components that results from the cleaning function of the arrangement;
  • the arrangement shall be of simple and inexpensive manu ⁇ facture and simple to clean; -the amount of potentially dangerous and irritating sub ⁇ stances generated by the corona discharge, such as primarily ozone and oxides of nitrogen, but also other harmful sub ⁇ stances, must be very small in relation to the volume of air that passes through the arrangement per unit of time.
  • the inventive arrangement will fulfill all of these demands in a highly satisfactory manner and that the arrangement therewith provides a practical and highly ef- fective solution to the problem of circulating air in popula ⁇ ted spaces, such as living accommodations, work places, office premises and public premises while cleaning the air at the same time.
  • the inventive arrangement can be used very effectively as kitchen extractor, instead of the generally inefficient extractor fans used at present. It has also been found that the inventive arrangement will also eliminate the harmful decomposition products of radon gases with great efficiency.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic axial sectional view of a first em ⁇ bodiment of the invention
  • Figure 2 is a view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and seen from the line II-II in said Figure;
  • Figures 3 and 4 are views similar to the views shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and illustrate a second embodiment of the inventive arrangement; and Figures 5-7 illustrate a third embodiment of the inventive arrangement.
  • the exemplifying embodiment of the inventive arrangement il- lustrated schematically in Figs. 1 and 2 includes a corona electrode, generally referenced K, and a target electrode, generally referenced M, each of said electrodes being con ⁇ nected to a respective pole of a direct voltage source 1.
  • the direct voltage source 1 will preferably have a central earth terminal, so that the electrical potentials of the corona and target electrodes will be symmetrical in relation to earth, whereby the total high voltage potential of the arrangement in relation to earth will be the lowest possible for a given potential difference between the two electrodes K and M.
  • the corona electrode K has a positive potential
  • the target electrode M has a negative potential.
  • the respective polarities of the electrodes may be the reverse of those stated.
  • the target electrode M is comprised of a number of flat ring-shaped electrode elements 2 of small thicknesses.
  • the electrode elements can therefore be con ⁇ sidered to have the form of annular lamellae.
  • the ring-shaped electrode elements 2 have mutually different diameters and are disposed coaxially with one another such as to leave therebetween spaces 3 which form air-flow openings through the target electrode M.
  • the various ring-shaped electrode elements forming the target electrode are mutually connected electrically, and preferably also mechanically, so as to form a continuous target electrode unit with the ring-shaped air- throughflow openings 3 between the different elements 2.
  • the target electrode M will thus extend around a contemplated or imaginary curved surface, which has generally the form of a conical surface with an obtuse top angle, or a generally spherical form.
  • a target electrode M of the kind used in the Figure 1 embodiment can be produced advantageously by punch ⁇ ing the electrode from a sheet of the material from which the ring-shaped electrode elements 2 are formed, with said ele ⁇ ments mutually connected by tabs punched in the sheet, as shown with broken lines in the drawings, such that the target electrode unit can be obtained by drawing it from the sheet in a concertina-like fashion.
  • the corona elec ⁇ trode K has the form of a relatively short wire-like elec ⁇ trode element 4 which is disposed along the symmetry axis of the target electrode M in a position such that the corona electrode element 4 is spaced generally equidistant from each and every part of the target electrode M, i.e. from all of the ring-shaped electrode elements 2 included in the target electrode M.
  • the corona electrode K can thus be said to lie in the proximity of the centre of curvature of the contempla ⁇ ted curved or arched surface around which the target elec ⁇ trode extends.
  • the end of the wire-like electrode element 4 of the corona electrode K distal from the target electrode M is attached to and carried by an insulator 5, whereas that end of the electrode element 4 which faces towards the target electrode M is provided with a body 20 whose diameter is ge ⁇ nerally larger than the diameter of the wire-like electrode element 4. This will prevent the occurrence of punctiform co ⁇ rona discharges at the free end of the electrode element 4. Instead, the corona discharge will occur along and around the circumferential surface of the wire-like electrode element 4.
  • the corona electrode is essentially constructed in accordance with the principles disclosed in the International Application PCT/SE86/00548, and therefore affords the advan ⁇ tages described therein.
  • the ion wind generated by a corona discharge at the corona electrode K and travelling from the corona electrode towards the target electrode M will drive an air flow through the arrangement, as shown by the arrows 6.
  • This air flow thus passes through the annular spaces between mutually adjacent ring-shaped electrode elements 2 and is forced to pass clo ⁇ sely adjacent to the electrode elements 2.
  • the corona electrode When the target electrode has the form shown in Figure 1, the corona electrode will "see" a large and continuous, or unbro ⁇ ken, target electrode surface. This makes it possible to maintain a stable and highly effective corona discharge at the corona electrode K with the aid of relatively moderate potential differences between the corona electrode K and the target electrode M and, at the same time, with a significant distance between the corona electrode and the target electro ⁇ de. As a result of the long distance between the two elec ⁇ trodes K and M, and the therewith significant migratory path of the air ions from the corona electrode to the target elec- trode, a highly significant volume of air can be caused to pass through the arrangement, even when operating with a small corona current.
  • a relatively moderate poten ⁇ tial difference between the corona and the target electrodes is advantageous, since this will reduce the need to insulate the arrangement against high voltages.
  • the relatively mode ⁇ rate potential difference between the corona and the target electrodes K and M together with the long distance between said two electrodes will also eliminate the risk of sparkover between the two electrodes and also the risk of spark dis- charges on the target electrode caused by the dirt collec ⁇ tions on the target electrode.
  • the low corona current which can be used with the inventive arrangement affords the very important advantage that the potentially harmful and irrita ⁇ ting substances generated by the corona discharge, such as ozone and oxides of nitrogen in particular and also other substances, can be kept to an acceptable low level in rela ⁇ tion to the volume of air that flows through the arrangement per unit of time.
  • the quantities in which such harmful and irritating substances are generated is roughly proportional to the value of the corona current.
  • an inventive arrangement constructed in the manner il ⁇ lustrated has been found to provide a significant flow of air through the arrangement with the aid of a very small corona current.
  • a tested arrangement of this construction included a target electrode in which the largest ring-shaped electrode element 2 had an outer diameter of 35 cm. The distance bet- ween the free end of the corona electrode K and the plane of the target electrode element 2 of largest diameter was about 15 cm.
  • the corona electrode K was connected to the potential +20 kV, whereas the target electrode M was connected to the potential -20 kV, the total corona current being as small as 10-15 ⁇ A. This resulted in an hourly volumetric throughput of
  • the inven ⁇ tive arrangement an advantage is afforded when the distance between the corona electrode and the nearest part of the tar ⁇ get electrode is at least 12 cm. Furthermore, the extension of the target electrode is advantageously such that as seen from the corona electrode it includes a visual angle of not greater than 180°.
  • the aerosol contaminants, solids and liquid droplets, suspen- ded in the air flow will be charged electrically with the same polarity as the potential of the corona electrode K and will therefore adhere to the ring-shaped electrode elements 2 of the target electrode M, since the air passes in close proximity to said elements 2 during its passage through the spaces located between the electrode elements 2.
  • the contami ⁇ nants are precipitated primarily on that side of the ring- shaped electrode elements which faces towards the corona electrode, and will be held firmly thereon by the influence exerted by the electric field that prevails between the co- rona and the target electrodes K and M. This applies in par ⁇ ticular to all large contaminants, such as dust balls, hair and the like.
  • the reflector electrode R is connected to earth.
  • the electric field that prevails between the reflector electrode R and the target electrode M is effective to cause those contaminants which remain in the air flowing through the spaces 3 between adjacent electrode elements 2 to adhere to and remain on the rear sides of respective target electrode elements 2. This further cleaning of the air flow is highly effective, since the air flow passes closely adjacent to the rear sides of the target electrode elements 2.
  • said arrangement need not be housed in a casing or like structure in order to guide the flow of air through the arrangement. This affords considerable advantages, since, among other things, the arrangement is simpler and less expensive than would otherwise be the case. Furthermore, the absence of sur ⁇ rounding casing walls means that the corona discharge occur ⁇ ring on the corona electrode will not then be disturbed and screened, as might possibly be the case if such surrounding walls were present.
  • the insulator 5 is arranged in a cup-shaped holder 8 made of electrically insulating material.
  • One advantage of the holder 8 is that it prevents soiling or dirtying of the corona elec ⁇ trode by the air flowing past said electrode.
  • the inventive arrangement is highly effective in this regard, and if desired can be mounted in a compartment above a kitchen stove, or may be installed freely without being housed. Since the inventive arrangement runs silently, it may be kept in operation continuously to no detriment, thereby removing effectively the smells generated when cooking food. This is not the case with present day ex ⁇ tractor fans, which are often switched off or set to a low air throughput as soon as the actual process of cooking food is completed, because of the relatively high level of noise generated by such extractors. The smell of cooking will still prevail, however, and will unavoidably spread to surrounding rooms.
  • the target electrode M can be given any one of several different configurations.
  • it may be constructed from ring-shaped, mutually parallel and mutually spaced electrode elements which instead of being flat as in the case of the earlier embodiment, are slightly conical or arched, so that the shape and extension of the elements will function to deflect the direction of air flow more gradually.
  • the ring-shaped electrode elements may also have a cylindrical configuration, so that the direction of air flow will not be deflected to any appreciable extent.
  • the target electrode may also be given the form of a net-like or grid-like structure which extends around an imaginary curved surface.
  • the reflector electrode may also have any one of a number of different configurations. For instance it need not be an im ⁇ pervious structure, as in the case of the illustrated embodi ⁇ ment, but also have form of a net-like or gridlike structure or may be formed similar to the target electrode.
  • An advan ⁇ tage is afforded when the reflector electrode is arranged in parallel, spaced relationship with the target electrode, which gives a stronger magnetic field between the target electrode and the reflector electrode and therewith more ef ⁇ fective cleaning of the air flow between the target electrode and the reflector electrode.
  • an arrangement con- structed in accordance with the invention is also able to operate without the provision of a reflector electrode, al ⁇ though the cleaning effect will then be poorer. This has less importance, however, when the inventive arrangement is to be used primarily to generate an air throughflow, and is not in- tended to clean the air efficiently at the same time.
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate schematically and by way of ex- ample one such arrangement according to the invention.
  • the target electrode M has gene ⁇ rally the same configuration as the target electrode of the Figures 1 and 2 embodiment and is constructed of ring-shaped flat electrode elements 2 which have mutually different dia ⁇ meters and which are arranged parallel with one another and define spaces 3 therebetween, so as to form together an air- permeable, obtusely conical target electrode.
  • the target electrode of the Figures 3 and 4 embodiment lacks the electrode elements 2 of smallest diameter, such that in this case the target electrode M will present in the centre there ⁇ of a relatively large and circular opening 10 axially oppo ⁇ site the corona electrode K.
  • the target electrode M is sup- ported by a base plate 12 and is isolated therefrom by insu ⁇ lators 11.
  • the plate 12 contains the high voltage unit of the arrangement and also supports the corona electrode K through the intermediary of an arm 13.
  • the arrangement also includes a reflector electrode R, which in the case of this embodiment extends generally parallel with the target elec ⁇ trode M and is provided with a central opening 14 which corresponds essentially to the opening 10 in the target elec ⁇ trode M.
  • the reflector electrode R is impervious in other respects.
  • This arrangement also includes a dish-like, further electrode 15 which is arranged parallel with and spaced from the reflector electrode R on the opposite side thereof in relation to the target electrode.
  • the further electrode 15 is impervious and extends over the opening 14 in the reflector electrode R.
  • the elec- trode 15 is carried by the base plate 12 and in turn carries the reflector electrode R, through the intermediary of insu ⁇ lators 16.
  • a corona discharge on the corona electrode K will give rise to an air flow in the direction of the target electrode M.
  • part of the air flow will pass through the spaces 3 bet ⁇ ween the ring-shaped electrode elements 2 of the target elec- trode M, whereas the predominant part of the air flow will pass through the central opening 10 in the target electrode M.
  • the first mentioned part of the air flow is deflected in its passage between the electrode elements 2 of the target electrode M and flows radially outwards between the rear side of the target electrode M and the reflector electrode R, this part of said air flow being cleansed of contaminants in the manner described with reference to Figures 1 and 2.
  • the air flowing through the central opening 10 of the target elec ⁇ trode M continues through the central opening 14 in the re ⁇ flector electrode R and then flows radially outwards between the reflector electrode R and the further electrode 15.
  • the air is therewith cleansed of impurities, because the further electrode 15 is connected to an electric potential which dif ⁇ fers from the electrical potential of the reflector electrode R, such that an electrostatic field will prevail between the further electrode 15 and the reflector electrode R.
  • This electrostatic field is effective to cause the contaminants contained by the air flow and charged electrically with the polarity of the corona electrode K to settle either on the reflector electrode R or on the further electrode 15, depen ⁇ ding on which polarity the further electrode 15 has in rela ⁇ tion to the reflector electrode.
  • the potential of the reflector electrode may be positive or negative in re ⁇ lation to the potential of the reflector electrode R.
  • the contaminants will settle on the reflector electrode R and in the other on the further electrode 15. This will also result in effective cleaning of the air that passes through the central opening 10 of the target electrode M.
  • the largest ring-shaped electrode element 2 of the target electrode M of a tested arrangement according to Figure 3 and 4 had an outer diameter of about 36 cm, and the distance bet- ween the free end of the corona electrode K and the central opening 10 in the target electrode M was about 19 cm. The diameter of the opening 10 was about 12 cm.
  • the reflector electrode R was spaced at a distance of about 2 cm from both the target electrode M and the further electrode 15. The co- rona electrode K was connected to the potential +15 kV, whereas the target electrode was connected to the potential
  • the arrangement illustrated in Figures 3 and 4 can also be constructed without the further electrode 15.
  • the reflector electrode need not be provided with a central opening 14, such that the electrode will also extend over the central opening 10 in the target electrode M.
  • the air flowing through the central opening 10 in the target electrode M will then also be deflected and flow radially outwards between the rear side of the target electrode M and the reflector electrode R, while being cleaned in the afore ⁇ said manner under the influence of the electrostatic field prevailing between the target electrode M and the reflector electrode R.
  • a large volume of air will flow out radially in the space between the target electrode M and the reflector electrode R. As a result the air velocity will be.
  • the reflec ⁇ tor electrode R may be provided with a central opening in the same manner as that illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, and the opening fitted with an air-permeable filter.
  • a large part of the air flowing through the central opening 10 in the target electrode M will flow out through the central opening in the reflector electrode R and be cleaned.
  • the volume of air flow in the space between the target electrode M and the reflector electrode R, and there ⁇ with also the speed of the air flow is reduced to a corres ⁇ ponding degree, which results in more effective cleaning of this air flow.
  • An inventive arrangement according to this latter variant is illustrated by way of example in Figures 5, 6 and 7.
  • FIGs 5-7 show two air purifiers constructed in accordance with this embodiment and combined and arranged as an extractor for use in kitchens to dispel cooking odours.
  • the target electrodes are referenced M
  • the co ⁇ rona electrodes are referenced K
  • the reflector electrodes are referenced R.
  • the air-permeable filter elements mounted in the central openings of the reflector electrodes R oppo- site the central openings of the target electrodes M are re ⁇ ferenced 17.
  • the target electrodes M and the reflector electrodes R are, in this case, mounted in respective large, rectangular plates 18 and 19, which are mutually parallel and spaced apart.
  • the air passing through the two purifiers will thus exit sideways be ⁇ tween the plates 18 and 19, said plates having the same po ⁇ tential as the target electrodes M and the reflector elec ⁇ trodes R respectively. Together the plates 18 and 19 form an electrostatic capacitor separator and therewith coact to clean the through-flowing air still further.
  • the arrangement can also be used effectively as an ionizer for rendering harmless any free radon daughters that may be present in the space in which the arrangement is installed. It is well known that radon gases constitute a serious health problem, since they decompose into so-called radon daughters which, if inhaled, constitute a very serious risk to the health.
  • Radon daughters are elec ⁇ trically charged and highly mobile, and consequently some of them will fasten on and bind to contaminants and impurities present in the air and are therewith less harmful if inhaled and are also more easily removed with the aid of a suitable air purifier, such as with the aid of an arrangement con ⁇ structed in accordance with the present invention, for in- stance.
  • the remaining radon daughters represent a much more dangerous threat to the health and are more difficult to control. It is known that free radon daugh ⁇ ters can be rendered harmless to a great extent with the aid of an ionizer placed in the room concerned, so as to create an ion field therein.
  • the inventive arrangement may have been installed openly, i.e. not housed in a casing, and despite the fact that the target electrode M and the corona electrode K, and possibly other electrodes, are connected to high elec ⁇ tric voltages, the arrangement will not be dangerous to touch, provided that the various electrodes are connected to the direct voltage source 1 through very high ohmic resistors 9 (see Figures 1 and 2) . Even though one of the electrodes may be touched unintentionally while the arrangement is in operation, these high ohmic resistors will limit the occur ⁇ ring currents to values which are so small, e.g. below 300 ⁇ A, as to eliminate all risk, and also any feeling of dis ⁇ comfort.
  • the target electrode M, the reflector electrode R and the further electrode 15 may be made of weakly conductive or semi-conductive material to no detriment, for example from weakly conductive paper or plastic material, or from anti ⁇ static-treated material.
