Abstract
An electrode holding arrangement (11,12,13,14,15) forming part of an electrostatic percipitator and intended for supporting a plurality of discharge electrodes (2). In addition to the discharge electrodes (2) the precipitator also incorporates one or more collector electrodes (25), and a voltage source for supplying energy to the discharge and collector electrodes so as to create therebetween a high D.C. voltage which influences dust carried in a dust-laden medium passing between the discharge and collector electrodes in a manner to separate dust from the medium, this dust falling primarily on the collector electrodes. Respective discharge electrodes comprise a rod-like flexurily rigid member having attached thereto, or formed integrally therewith electrode parts which present discharge tips. A predetermined number of discharge electrodes (2) are attached at their upper end parts (2a) to a common, elongated, horizontallly extending electrode holding device (11). The electrode holding device (11) is arranged to co-act with a carrier element (12,13) via means (14,15,16) which permit horizontal, or substantially horizontal movement of the electrode holding device (11), this movement b…
