SEI - Segmented Plates

The roll-formed ribbed design resists bowing and resulting misalignment due to temperature excursions and rapping forces. Aerodynamically, when properly rapped, the collected dust particles are effectively sheared from the entire length of the plate segment with minimum re-entrainment.

The supporting “tadpoles” are designed to prevent edge effect arc-over where the discharge electrodes enter and leave the collecting field.
