ABSTRACT:
An electronic dust collector for collecting and removing dust from an air stream uses a corona discharge between a discharge electrode and a dust collection electrode to ionize the dust particles which are then attracted to, and held, on the surface of the negatively charged dust collection electrode. The surface of the dust collection electrode includes a catalyst layer for oxidizing and decomposing the deposited dust thereon. A heater is included in the dust collection electrode for periodic self-cleaning. The application of electricity to the heater is controlled to produce slow moderate temperature elevation during the self-cleaning of the dust collection electrode. This permits stepwise oxidation and decomposition of the dust deposited on the dust collection electrode, thereby cleaning the dust collection electrode by removing the dust on the dust collection electrode while suppressing generation of smoke and odor which would otherwise occur by burning of the dust.
