Study on Mechanism and Characteristics of Particle Charging in Electrostatic Precipitator

Abstract

Nowadays, Electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is an important large-scale equipment for reducing dust elimination and reducing pollution in industrial production. As the second working step of ESP, dust charging is very important, and its charge directly affects the subsequent work of the electrostatic precipitator and the dust removal efficiency. In this paper, the charging mechanism of dust particles in the discharge area of ESP is studied. The charge and its influencing factors of dust particles with different particle sizes under different mechanisms are analyzed. The research results have certain effect on how to increase the charge of dust particles. The research in this paper is of great significance to improve the dust removal efficiency of ESP.
