An improved filter element for use in an electrostatic precipitation air cleaning device, the filter element including rod electrodes arranged through a stack of alternating fluted plastic sheets and plate electrodes. Successive plate electrodes are arranged to make contact with an alternating one or the other of the rod electrodes. The plate and rod electrodes may be composed of high impedance materials such as paper and plastic, respectively. An arrangement for removably inserting a filter element into an air cleaning device is provided. The arrangement also removably provides electrical connectivity between the filter element and the air cleaning device. The filter element can thus be readily removed and re-installed by a user.

An electro-kinetic air conditioner for removing particulates from the air creates an airflow using no moving parts. The conditioner includes an ion generator that has an electrode assembly including a first array of emitter electrodes, a second array of collector electrodes, and a high voltage generator. Preferably, a third or leading or focus electrode is located upstream of the first array of emitter electrodes, and/or a trailing electrode is located downstream of the second array of collector electrodes. The device can also include an interstitial electrode located between collector electrodes, an enhanced collector electrode with an integrally formed trailing end, and an enhanced emitter electrode with an enhanced length in order to increase emissitivity.

The device can also include a third or leading or focus electrode located upstream of the first array of emitter electrodes, and/or a trailing electrode located downstream of the second array of collector electrodes, and/or an interstitial electrode located between collector electrodes, and/or an enhanced emitter electrode with an enhanced length in order to increase emissivity.

A cyclone dust collecting apparatus comprises a first cyclone for centrifuging dust from drawn-in air; one or more second cyclones for separating dust from air which is passed through the first cyclone; and an electrode unit mounted to at least one of the first and the second cyclones.

In an apparatus for the purification of a gas which apparatus includes a three section conduit with

• • an ionization and cleaning section in which particles contained in water-saturated air are ionized and then conducted through a chamber with grounded walls so that part of the particles are deposited on these walls,
  • an additional cleaning section which includes grounded tubes past which the gas is conducted to remove additional charged particles and
  • a filter section in which dry remaining fine particles are removed from the gas stream,
  • the deposited particles are flushed from all three sections and the flushing water including the particles is cleaned and recycled.

An improved ventilating range hood includes a sheet metal collecting hood, vented to the outdoors; a variable speed, electronically controllable fan, mounted in such a way as to draw air from a cooking area and out through said vent of said collecting hood; a plurality of air quality sensors capable of detecting both comfort factors and the presence of hazardous substances in the air; an embedded control algorithm which examines the composite output of said discrete air quality sensors, as well as, the trend information and determines from said information an instantaneous ventilation requirement, and a control signal, derived from said algorithm to regulate the fan speed level such that every combination of discrete air quality sensor conditions will have a unique associated fan speed level based on said ventilation requirement. The air quality sensors may include sensors for temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, smoke, etc.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and apparatus for moving air using an air-conditioning system therein, whereby the air-conditioning system preferably includes at least one emitter electrode, at least one collector electrode, at least one driver electrode disposed adjacent to the collector electrode, and/or at least one trailing electrode positioned downstream of the collector electrode. The collector electrode and the driver electrode are removable from the device. In one embodiment, the driver electrodes are removable from the device and/or the collector electrode. The ability of remove the collector electrode as well as driver electrode allow for easy cleaning of the electrodes. In one embodiment, the present device includes a removable exhaust grill upon which the driver electrode and/or the trailing electrode are coupled to. The removable grill allows the user to easily clean the driver electrode without having to remove the collector electrode.

The invention relates to an electrostatic precipitator of an efficient dust collecting electrode, comprising a shell which is provided with an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet. A discharge electrode and a dust collecting electrode are arranged in the shell. Wherein, the dust collecting electrode comprises a hollowed-out metal shell, and a dust collecting plate or a dust collecting sphere or an alveolar porous plate which is filled in the shell and manufactured by porous metallic foams or porous foam plastics processed via conductive treatment, and the dust collecting plate or the dust collecting sphere moves between an integration chamber and a dust cleaning chamber. The electrostatic precipitator of the efficient dust collecting electrode of the invention selects the porous metallic foams or the porous foam plastics processed conductive treatment, to manufacture a flat type, a granular type or an alveolar porous type to fill in the shell of a metal framework or a reticular formation to manufacture the dust collecting electrode with different structures such as rotary type, flat brattice type, circular flow type and so on, and at the same time separates a dust collecting area and a dust cleaning area to make dust collection efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator reach to more than 99.99%. The dust collecting electrode of the invention is particularly applicable to the last stage of the electrostatic precipitator, wherein, after dust abatement, dust content of the gas per cubic meter is less than or equal to 10mg.

A cleaning mechanism for a wire electrode of an air purifier device includes a base, a post having a first end attached to the base and a second end accessible from a location external the housing, a cleaning plate assembly attached to the base, wherein the cleaning plate assembly frictionally contacts the wire electrode when moved relative to the wire electrode. The cleaning plate assembly is movable within the housing when the second end of the post is moved from a resting configuration to a cleaning configuration.
