The effects of the corona wire distribution with triangular collecting plates on the characteristics of electrostatic precipitators

Abstract

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have evolved into one of the most primary technologies for eliminating hazardous particles from various industries. Because of the inherent advantages that come with the use of an ESP, much ongoing research in this subject is constantly improving. To enhance the performance of ESPs, several designs of collecting and discharge electrodes must be investigated. Many researchers are working on strengthening current models in a variety of ways. This research aims to examine the effects of corona wire distribution with triangular collecting plates on the properties of electrostatic precipitators. Six different types of ESPs were modeled. The triangular type results were compared to the flat plates (FPs) to evaluate the effect of corona discharge electrode distribution at different wire-wire distances on the electrical field distribution and space charge density distribution, and particle collection efficiency. The usage of the triangular type also enhances particle collecting efficiency when is compared to FPs
