Study on Water Spraying System in Wet Electrostatic Precipitator

Abstract:

The dust collected in the polar plates can be washed out by a spraying system in the wet electrostatic precipitator. It is important to keep the spraying system having a high efficiency lest the dust returns to the gas again. The performance of the spraying system in the electrostatic precipitation and its influence on the dust collection efficiency are presented in the paper. The atomization characteristic of the spraying nozzle is measured by changing the water pressure and operating voltage. The results show that: Collection efficiency of the electrostatic precipitation is over 99.5 % when the water pressure is 0.4 MPa.When the spraying mists diameter is 100 μm, the collection efficiency is 92 % for the dust diameter under 10 μm. It will provide a basis for the design of spraying system in wet electrostatic precipitation by this analysis.
