ABSTRACT:
A method and system for ionizing air passing through a metallic duct, e.g. to maintain precise electrically neutral, positive or negative atmosphere in an area, such as a textile mill, by adding charged ions to air being pumped into that area, with at least one electrical grid mounted in the duct by means of one or more insulator posts connecting the grid to a duct wall and adapted for connection to a DC high voltage source whereby buildup of conductive material such as grease or lint in a conductive path between the grid and duct wall is prevented. In one embodiment this is accomplished by providing an insulating sleeve within the duct and surrounding the grid, this sleeve by protecting against short circuits also permitting high currents to be safely used. In a second embodiment air deflectors mounted on the grid wall deflect the air in the duct away from the insulator posts, preferably with the aid of clean air injected between the air deflectors and duct wall.
