Abstract
A modular dust collection plate assembly (10) for use in an electrostatic precipitator is provided. The dust collection plate assembly (10) includes at least one panel member (100) and at least one waveform member (200) releasably coupled together. The panel member (100) is characterized by a substantially planar contour, having first and second faces on opposing sides thereof which are commonly bounded laterally by a pair of lateral edge portions (110, 110) extending in a longitudinal direction. The waveform member (200) also extends in the longitudinal direction and is characterized by a predetermined curvilinear cross-sectional contour that enables the waveform member (200) to disrupt at least a portion of the gaseous flow that would pass across it during operation in an electrostatic precipitator. The waveform member (200) terminates at each of its laterally-opposed sides in a flange portion (212) which has formed thereon a joint mechanism for forming a substantially continuous joint with one of the panel member's lateral edge portions (110). In a preferred embodiment of the dust collection plate assembly (10), the panel member (100) adjacent its lateral edge portions includes …
