Active field polarized media air cleaner
First Claim
1. A filter media comprising:
- a first pad of dielectric filter material;
a second pad of dielectric filter material being substantially the same shape and area as said first pad of fibrous dielectric material;
a center screen disposed between said first and second pads of dielectric material, said center screen being substantially the same shape and area as said first and second pads of dielectric material; and
a dielectric media support frame having an inner side and outer side, said inner side enclosing said first and second pads of dielectric material, the dielectric media support frame having on the inner side thereof a shelf for holding said center screen between said first and second pads of dielectric material;
wherein said dielectric media support frame further comprises a protrusion on the outer side thereof.

Abstract
Improvements in active field polarized media air cleaner include an aerodynamic front cowling to reduce static air resistance, a rear double hinge to reduce blow by, a resistive center screen permitting the sharing of high voltage power supplies while reducing the tendency to arc and allowing for a higher operational voltage, a dielectric media support frame to produce a more uniform electrostatic field and reduce blow by, while at the same time reducing the tendency to spray corona and/or arc at the edges of the center screen, a substantially flat conductive outer screen to produce a more uniform electrostatic field throughout the filter media and a high-voltage shield to reduce high-voltage arcing and the spraying of corona where the high-voltage probe contacts the center screen.
