Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0612130A1] The excitation cell has a multiplicity of rod-shaped electrode elements (1). Each electrode element is surrounded by a chemically and thermally stable protective jacket which can also withstand electric fields. The electrode elements are held in vertically running bridges (2, 2', 3, 3'). This provides a construction in a plurality of modules, each of which modules consists of electrode elements arranged one on top of another and two bridges. The electrode elements of each module are electrically connected to a conducting rail (11) and are at the same potential. The modules are alternately applied to phase and earth. The excitation cell described is largely insensitive to condensates, so that even humid or polymerising gases can be excited. In addition, the modular construction allows individual electrode elements to be replaced with ease. <IMAGE>
