Abstract

Electrostatic dust purifiers are widely used in many industries such as thermal power plants, cement plants, waste incineration and glass production. Optimization of the electrode and collector is important for higher efficiency (to achieve the high efficiency) in the electrostatic dust filtration. This study examines the electrostatic properties of four types of collector plates: flat, curved, spike, and spike with groove. The electric field strength, the charge density, the velocity of movement and the collection efficiency are analysed for each types of collectors. The inflow of air is perpendicular to the collector plate instead of parallel in traditional models, which improves the efficiency. The velocity of dust towards the collector plate depend on the electrostatic force and the velocity field around the collector. The Deutsch model is used to determine the performance among receiver plate types. The results show that the spike plate achieves the best collection efficiency because of the optimal static electric field and velocity field around it.
