The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a vehicle. The air conditioner for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body and an electric dust collection assembly. The electric dust collection assembly includes an electrification apparatus for electrifying dust particles in the air and a collector for collecting dust particles electrified by the electrification apparatus and removing the dust particles from the air. At this time, the electrification apparatus and the collector are formed to be capable of being separated by a separate device.

Provided is an electrostatic dust collecting apparatus including a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode along a first direction, at least one support member configured to maintain an interval between the first electrode and the second electrode spaced apart from each other, and a support bar formed to extend along the first direction. The at least one support member each include at least one electrode insertion groove formed to allow at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode to be inserted thereinto and a coupling hole extending along the first direction and formed to allow the support bar to be coupled thereto.

An example of a species collection system includes a plurality of spaced-apart electrically conductive collectors and a plurality of emitter electrodes. In some embodiments, at least one emitter electrode is disposed between adjacent ones of the collectors. In some embodiments, the at least one emitter electrode extends beyond the collectors (e.g., in at least one dimension). Collectors may be aligned to a direction of gas flow from an outlet (e.g., of a cooling tower) to facilitate collection while minimizing interference with the gas flow. Different emitter electrodes may be maintained at different voltages. In some embodiments, collectors are attached to a collector frame and emitter electrodes are attached to emitter frame(s) that are electrically insulated from the collector frame. Collectors may span a gas outlet (e.g., of a cooling tower) and emitter frame(s) may be positioned outside of the collectors (e.g., and outside of a periphery of the gas outlet).

An example of a panel for use in collecting fluid in a gas stream includes a fluid collection member comprising one or more collection electrodes. The panel may include an emitter electrode assembly member comprising an emitter electrode frame and one or more emitter electrodes attached to the emitter electrode frame (e.g., disposed in a one- or two-dimensional array). The one or more emitter electrodes may be physically separated from the one or more collection electrodes. The fluid collection member may be physically connected to the emitter electrode assembly member. The one or more collection electrodes may be electrically insulated from the one or more emitter electrodes.

The present invention relates to an electric dust collection device comprising: an electrification unit; and a dust collection unit provided downstream of the electrification unit, wherein the dust collection unit comprises a plurality of bent parts formed by continuously bending one insulating sheet, each of the plurality of bent parts comprises: two flat surfaces bent so as to face each other at a predetermined interval; and a connection surface connecting respective one ends of the two flat surfaces in the vertical direction and having an opening, one flat surface of the two flat surfaces has an electrode for an anode, and the other one flat surface has an electrode for a cathode.

An example of a system for use in collecting fluid from a gas stream includes one or more collection panels and a frame for arranging the panel(s). Each of the collection panel(s) may comprise an emitter electrode assembly member, comprising one or more emitter electrodes, physically attached to an electrically insulated from a fluid collection member comprising one or more collection electrodes. The frame may be sized and shaped to be disposed near a gas outlet or a duct. An example of a method for collecting fluid from a gas stream includes providing the collection panel(s) disposed in a path of the gas stream; providing the gas stream; generating and maintaining a voltage at the one or more emitter electrodes of each of the collection panel(s); and collecting an amount of the fluid from the gas stream with the one or more collection panels.
