Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for replacing a corona generating electrode assembly in a housing, wherein a plurality of replacement electrodes are removably mounted in a configuration substantially equivalent to the operational configuration thereof on a rigid support frame. The procedure for replacing a malfunctioning or otherwise spent corona generating electrode is substantially facilitated through a relatively simple 'snap-fit' process, wherein replacement is accomplished by pressing the housing against the corona generating electrode assembly on the rigid support frame so as to simultaneously mount the corona generating electrode in the housing while removing the corona generating electrode from the rigid support frame. The tool provides substantial time savings while yielding incidental advantages by reducing breakage of new electrodes as often occurs during replacement using prior techniques.
