Abstract

Any industrial process needs to work with the optimal operating conditions and thus the evaluation of their robustness is a critical issue. A modeling of a laboratoryscale wire-to-plane two stages electrostatic precipitator for guiding the identification of the set point, is presented this in paper. The procedure consists of formulating recommendations regarding the choice of optimal values for electrostatic precipitation. A twostages laboratory precipitator was used to carry out the experiments, with samples of wood particles of average granulometric size 10 μm. The parameters considered in the present study are the negative applied high voltage of the ionization stage, the positive voltage of the collection stage and the air speed. First, three “one-factor-at-a-time” experiments were performed followed by a factorial composite design experiments, based on a two-step strategy: 1) identify the domain of variation of the variables; 2) set point identification and optimization of the process.

Abstract

Electrostatic prccipitators (ESP) arc the most commonly used devices for gas cleaning in the power industry. From the beginning of ESP usage on a commercial scale, it has been said that all swirls and turbulences should be eliminated from the gas flow, approaching uniform gas distribution in an ESP chamber. Application of CFO (Computer Fluid Dynamics) methods in electrostatic precipitation caused radical changes in views on the role of the gas flow. Series of non-uniform gas flows was then indicated, causing an increase in ESP efficiency. This paper is a review of the gas flow distributions used in ESP and their influence on ESP efficiency. The results of computer analysis presented in this paper show that diversification of gas velocity in the ESP chamber leads to efficiency improvement for shorter zones; however, for longer zones it causes an efficiency drop. The efficiency raise owing to diversification of gas flow profile is a consequence of exponential gas velocity - efficiency dependence.
