Effects of plate spacing on the efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator
Abstract
The effect of plate spacing on the efficiency of an electrostatic precipitator was investigated. For that purpose, laboratory experiments were performed on a test precipitator with variable plate spacing of up to 715 mm. A proportionality was found between the migration velocity and the plate spacing. Apart from the current/voltage characteristics, also the rise in migration velocity with increasing gas velocity was determined. A laser device was used to measure dust concentration profiles which indicate an approximately linear increase from the centre of the duct towards the precipitation electrode. Optimization of electrostatic precipitators by enlarging the plate spacing appears to be possible.
