Abstract

The invention relates to a gas supply for an electrostatic filter and an electrostatic filter arrangement which has an electrostatic filter and a gas supply. Here, the gas supply has an incoming flow channel of constant cross-sectional area, a gas inlet hood with cross-sectional area expanding in the direction of the electrostatic filter, and an admixture arrangement for a conditioning means, wherein at least one flow distributor is arranged in the expanded cross-sectional region of the gas inlet hood. Characterizing features include a first vortex arrangement generating a leading-edge vortex arranged in the incoming flow channel, a second vortex arrangement generating a leading-edge vortex arranged in the gas inlet hood before the flow divider in the gas flow direction, and the admixture arrangement arranged in the region of one of the two vortex arrangements.

Claims (12)

1. Gas supply ( 3 ) for an electrostatic filter ( 2 ), which has an incoming flow channel ( 7 ) with constant cross-sectional area, a gas inlet hood ( 8 ) with cross-sectional area expanding in the direction of the electrostatic filter ( 2 ), and an admixture arrangement ( 19 ) for a conditioning means ( 20 ), wherein at least one flow distributor ( 10 ) is arranged in the expanded cross-sectional region of the gas inlet hood ( 8 ), characterized in that a first vortex arrangement ( 11 ) generating a leading-edge vortex ( 16 ) is arranged in the incoming flow channel ( 7 ), a second vortex arrangement ( 12 ) generating a leading-edge vortex ( 17 ) is arranged in the gas inlet hood ( 8 ) ahead of the flow distributor ( 10 ) in the direction of gas flow, and the admixture arrangement ( 19 ) is arranged in the region of the two vortex arrangements ( 11 , 12 ).

2. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that the first vortex arrangement ( 11 ) is arranged before a bend ( 9 ) in the incoming flow channel ( 7 ) in the direction of main flow.

3. Gas supply according to claim 2 , characterized in that the first vortex arrangement ( 11 ) is arranged closer to the inside ( 22 ) of the bend in the incoming flow channel than to the outside ( 21 ) of the bend.

4. Gas supply according to claim 2 , characterized in that the first vortex arrangement ( 11 ) is arranged at an angle in the incoming flow channel ( 7 ), such that the incoming flow edge ( 14 ) of at least one incoming flow surface ( 13 ) facing the gas flow ( 5 ) points in the direction of the outside ( 21 ) of the bend and the separation edge ( 15 ) points towards the inside ( 22 ) of the bend in the incoming flow channel ( 7 ).

5. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that the second vortex arrangement ( 12 ) is arranged in a lower region of the gas inlet hood ( 8 ).

6. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that the second vortex arrangement ( 12 ) is arranged at an acute angle to a wall of the gas inlet hood ( 8 ).

7. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that the admixture arrangement ( 19 ) opens behind the incoming flow edge ( 14 ) to a vortex arrangement ( 11 , 12 ).

8. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that a vortex arrangement ( 11 , 12 ) has at least one vortex disk.

9. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that a vortex arrangement ( 11 , 12 ) has several vortex disks arranged one next to the other in a flow cross section.

10. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that a vortex arrangement ( 11 , 12 ) has several cascading vortex disks.

11. Gas supply according to claim 1 , characterized in that a vortex arrangement ( 11 , 12 ) has a system composed of several vortex disks.

12. Electrostatic filter arrangement ( 1 ), which has an electrostatic filter ( 2 ) and a gas supply ( 3 ) according to any one of the preceding claims.
