Like reference numerals in the drawings refer to the same or similar function throughout several aspects.
(15) As illustrated in
(16) That is, unlike a bidirectional electrostatic filter system 1 in the related art in which charging parts 1-2 and 1-3 and dust collecting part 1-1 are fixedly installed to be close to one another and do not provide the time and the space in which a charged capturing target may be amplified, the variable bidirectional electrostatic filter system 10 according to the present invention is characterized by providing amplification sections S1 and S2 in which the distances between the charging parts 14 and 15 the dust collecting part 13 are not fixed and are adjusted as the charging parts 14 and 15 are moved.
(17) For example, the amplification sections S1 and S2 provide the time and the space in which charged fine particles may be agglomerated at the same operating voltage and the same flow velocity, such that the applied Coulomb force is increased as a charge quantity of the agglomerated fine particles is relatively increased, and as a result, there is an advantage in that dust collecting efficiency is relatively improved.
(18) Therefore, in a case in which the dust concentration of the fine particles is increased or the flow velocity is increased under the same condition, the amplification sections S1 and S2 are formed to maintain the dust collecting efficiency.
(19) In addition, the amplification sections S1 and S2 also serve to enable ultra-fine particles to be collected.
(20) Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the variable bidirectional electrostatic filter system 10 according to the present invention having the above-mentioned technical features will be described below in detail.
(21) As illustrated in
(22) The high voltage applying means 11 is connected to an external power source to supply the forward charging part 14 and the reverse charging part 15 with electric charges with a high direct current voltage of 11,000 bolts (V) or more so that corona discharge may occur in the forward charging part 14 and the reverse charging part 15, and the high voltage applying means 11 also supplies a high voltage to the dust collecting part 13.
(23) The high voltage applying means 11 is not limited to any specified high voltage supply means and may be one of various high voltage applying means. The high voltage applying means 11 supplies the electric charges to the forward charging part 14 and the reverse charging part 15 based on a control signal from the control unit 18, supplies high-voltage electric currents to the dust collecting part 13 as necessary, and automatically cuts off the supply of power in the event of emergency such as an operation of an emergency switch.
(24) As illustrated in
(25) The filter housing 12 is not limited to a housing made of any specified material and may be made of various materials including metal.
(26) Meanwhile, as illustrated in
(27) The opening-closing door 123 may be sized such that the entire lateral side of the filter housing 12 is opened, in order to make it convenient to maintain and repair the dust collecting part 13, the forward charging part 14, the reverse charging part 15, the forward movement rails 16, and the reverse movement rails 17 installed in the filter housing 12.
(28) In addition, the filter housing 12 according to the present invention further includes a power cut-off unit 124 configured to mechanically cut off the supply of power in conjunction with the opening-closing door 123 when the opening-closing door 123 begins to be opened.
(29) The power cut-off unit 124 is a safety means for cutting off the supply of power in the event of emergency when the opening-closing door 123 of the filter housing 12 is opened, and various power cut-off means, which operate in conjunction with the opening-closing door 123, may be applied.
(30) For example, as illustrated in
(31) In addition, as illustrated in
(32) That is, because the dust collecting part 13 is frequently detached to remove dust from the dust collecting part 13 installed in the filter housing 12, the sliding rails 125 are used as means for more easily detaching the dust collecting part 13, as illustrated in
(33) That is, the dust collecting part 13 placed on the sliding rails 125 is easily moved into the filter housing 12 by the sliding rails 125.
(34) As illustrated in
(35) In this case, as illustrated in
(36) Therefore, fine dust (+) charged by the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15 receives force by Coulomb force generated in the direction toward the dust collecting electrode 131 in an electric field between the grounded dust collecting electrode 141 (−) and the voltage plate 142 (+) supplied with a direct current of 5 KV to 6 KV. As a result, the dust is attracted to the dust collecting electrode 131 and captured by being attached to a surface of the dust collecting electrode 131.
(37) Meanwhile, as illustrated in
(38) As illustrated in
(39) In this case, the multi-cross-pin ionizer 141 forms the charged region by being supplied with the direct current of 10 KV to 12 KV from the high voltage applying means 11, and the fine dust passing through the charged region is charged with (+) electricity.
(40) As illustrated in
(41) That is, as illustrated in
(42) In this case, each of the forward movement rail 16 and the reverse movement rail 17 may be fastened to the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15 and thus serve as a movement rail means having various structures and shapes in which the forward charging part 14 and the reverse charging part 15 may be moved along the movement rails.
(43) Meanwhile, as illustrated in
(44) As described above, as illustrated in
(45) That is, in order to further improve a dust collecting performance in accordance with a state of the contaminated air at the time of operating the system, the variable bidirectional electrostatic filter system 10 according to the present invention provides the amplification section by forming the space between the dust collecting part 13 and the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15, thereby relatively improving the dust collecting performance. In order to relatively improve energy efficiency, the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15 is positioned to be close to the dust collecting part 13, such that the induced voltage is generated to collect the dust, thereby improving energy efficiency.
(46) As illustrated in
(47) As described above, as illustrated in
(48) As illustrated in
(49) As illustrated in
(50) With the forward sensor 30 and the reverse sensor 40, the contamination degree or the flow velocity of the contaminated air 100 and 200 to be purified is detected, and a state of the contaminated air 100 and 200 to be purified is recognized based on a detected value, such that the air may be more effectively purified by adjusting the positions of the forward charging part 14 and the reverse charging part 15.
(51) Meanwhile, the control unit 18 may further include a charging part position control unit 50 configured to automatically adjust, based on a preset value, the position of the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15 by controlling the rail drive unit 20 based on a value detected by the forward sensor 30 or the reverse sensor 40.
(52) That is, for example, the charging part position control unit 50 changes the position of the forward charging part 14 or the reverse charging part 15 by controlling the rail drive unit 20 to form the amplification section having a predetermined distance based on a value set in advance in accordance with the fine dust concentration and the flow velocity. Hereinafter, the feature of a dust collecting principle in accordance with the formed amplification section of the variable bidirectional electrostatic filter system 10 according to the present invention will be described.
(53)
(54) Operation Example 1 of the variable bidirectional electrostatic filter system 10 according to the present invention conceptually illustrated in
(55) As illustrated in
(56) In this case, fine particles 1 such as dust, moisture, or the like included in the contaminated air introduced from the outside are in an electrically neutral state. When the neutral fine particles 1 enter a charged region A1, the neutral fine particles 1 collide with and are adsorbed to gas molecules having negative ions and become charged fine particles 2 in a negative state.
(57) The principle in which the fine particles 1 are charged will be briefly described. An intense electric field is formed around the forward charging part 14 by the corona discharge, the intense electric field accelerates free electrons present in the peripheral gas, the accelerated free electrons collide with other gas molecules while moving at a high speed, and the gas molecule, which has collided with the accelerated free electron in this manner, becomes a positive ion by discharging one more free electron.
(58) The gas molecule, which becomes the positive ion formed as described above, moves toward the forward charging part 14 and collides with the gas molecule, which surrounds the ionizer of the forward charging part 14, or the ionizer itself. In this case, the newly generated free electron moves along the electric field toward the grounded dust collecting electrode 131. When the free electron moving in this manner comes out of the corona region, the electric field is weakened, and a movement speed is rapidly decreased. As a result, the free electron collides with the gas molecule at a speed that cannot ionize the gas molecule, and the free electron is adsorbed to the surface of the gas molecule, thereby forming a gas molecule having a negative ion.
(59) The gas molecules having the negative ions collide with and are adsorbed to the fine particles 2 in the charged region A1, thereby charging the fine particles 2.
(60) At the same time, the plate-shaped voltage plate 132, which is spaced apart from the forward charging part 14 in parallel at a predetermined interval, generates the induced voltage of the negative electrode by the forward charging part 14, and the two grounded dust collecting electrodes 131 are charged as positive electrodes through electrostatic induction and electrostatic discharge.
(61) Therefore, the electric field is formed between the respective dust collecting electrodes 131 and the voltage plate 132, attractive force is applied between charged fine particles 2-1 introduced into the electric field and the dust collecting electrodes 131 and repulsive force is applied between the charged fine particles 2-1 introduced into the electric field and the voltage plate 132, such that the charged fine particles 2-1 are attracted and attached to the dust collecting electrode 131.
(62) In this way, as the charged fine particles 2-1 are attracted and attached to the grounded dust collecting electrode 131, captured fine particles 3 loses electric charges and become electrically neutral fine particles.
(63) In this case, since the repulsive force and the attractive force are the force generated based on the Coulomb's law, a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein.
(64) Operation Example 1 has been described only regarding the forward direction D1, but the same applies to the reverse direction D2.
(65) Meanwhile, as illustrated in
(66) When the neutral fine particles 1 such as dust, moisture, and the like included in the contaminated air introduced from the outside enter the charged region A1 of the amplification section S, the neutral fine particles 1 collide with and are adsorbed to gas molecules having negative ions in the neutral state, such that the neutral fine particles 1 become the charged fine particles 2 in the negative state. The charged fine particles 2 are agglomerated while passing through the amplification section S and become the fine particles 2 including a larger quantity of electric charges, and as a result, the higher force generated based on the Coulomb's law is applied due to a larger quantity of charges.
(67) At the same time, the plate-shaped voltage plate 132 receives the electric current from the high voltage applying means 11 and becomes a negative electrode, and the two grounded dust collecting electrodes 131 are charged as positive electrodes.
(68) Therefore, the electric field is formed between the respective dust collecting electrodes 131 and the voltage plate 132, attractive force is applied between charged fine particles 2-1 introduced into the electric field and the dust collecting electrodes 131 and repulsive force is applied between the charged fine particles 2-1 introduced into the electric field and the voltage plate 132, such that the charged fine particles 2-1 are attracted and attached to the dust collecting electrode 131.
(69) In this way, as the charged fine particles 2-1 are attracted and attached to the grounded dust collecting electrode 131, captured fine particles 3 loses electric charges and become electrically neutral fine particles.
(70) Operation Example 2 has been described only regarding the forward direction D1, but the same applies to the reverse direction D2.
(71) While the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that the exemplary embodiments may be modified or altered without departing from the scope of the appended claims, and the modification or the alteration belongs to the appended claims.
