Short Resistant Collecting Cells for Electrostatic Precipitators

摘要

Prototypes of two different short-resistant electrostatic precipitator collecting cells have been designed, fabricated and tested. Both designs can meet all the performance requirements of MIL-F-22963B and can be retrofitted in presently installed modular electrostatic precipitators. Both designs appear capable of prolonged operation under heavy smoke loading conditions to effectively cleanse a submarine atmosphere of smoke from a fire. The prototypes have been delivered to the Naval Research Laboratory for smoke loading tests to evaluate their effectiveness. (Author)
