Study on New Laboratory Scale Transverse Plate Electrostatic Precipitator Collecting Fly Ash

Abstract:

s. Experiments were carried out to investigate the treatment efficiency of soot particles with a new type laboratory-scale transverse plate electrostatic precipitator (ESP). It has a ω type collecting plates which are set perpendicular to the airflow and the discharged electrodes lie alongside the collecting plates. With this structure, the drift velocity has been improved while the size of ESP has been significantly minimized. Several most important factors influenced precipitator efficiency were discussed. According to the experimental results, the collection efficiency of the transverse plate ESP is above 90%. Different influential factors have different effects on each grade of particles. ω type collecting plates make them function like a dust collector cyclone without applied voltage. It also has a collection efficiency of 47.38%.
