Abstract In this paper, a numerical model was developed to describe the wire-plate electrostatic precipitator, commonly called electronic air cleaners. Electrostatic precipitator have been widely used to control particulate pollutants, which adversely affect human health. In this model, the complex interactions between fluid dynamics, electric fields and particle dynamics are considered. Therefore different approach methods are used in this study for each field, Eulerian reference frame was used for the fluid flow field and the electric field, Lagrangian reference frame used for the particles trajectories. In order to describe corona phenomena around high voltage electrode, electric field and ion current density field in electrostatic precipitator are numerically calculated using the iterative method for corona discharge model suggested by Kim (2010). The most important concept in electrostatic precipitator is the electric force applied to particles through the particle charging phenomena. The charge acquired by the particle in the corona region was obtained by combining the field charge, the diffusion charge and the time available for charging being the residence time of the particle in the corona region. In order to simulate more accurately, the charging model suggested by Lawless (1996) is used for the charging phenomena of particles by corona discharge because this model was designed to predict combination effect of diffusion charge and field charge. The diminution of particle concentration along the collection plate was derived from Deutsch’s theory, and migration velocity of the particle was developed from the condition that the magnitude of Coulomb force is equal to that of Stoke’s resistance force. This model is implemented by UDF in commercial software Fluent and validated with experimental and numerical results from literatures. CFD results had been compared with various experimental data obtained by Penney&Matick, Parasram and Kihm. Our results shows good agreement in terms of distributions of electric potential, current density, electrohydrodynamic flow pattern, and particle trajectories as well as corona current and collection efficiency. From this simulation, the effect of wire arrangement on electrostatic precipitator characteristics and particle charging are investigated. Both inline and staggered arrangements of wire electrode have been considered for fixed values of gas velocity equal to 2m/s. Applied voltage on wire electrode varies 6∼13kV and particle diameter is 4μm. For low voltage condition, staggered arrangement of wire electrode caused the turbulent effect so that collection efficiency increase more than inline arrangement. However, collection efficiency decrease in high voltage condition because electric force applied on particles passing between the wire electrodes is canceled out by both side wire electrodes.

Experimental and theoretical studies were undertaken to investigate the particulatefree secondary flow interaction in the wire-type electrostatic precipitator. The secondary flow generated by the corona discharge is not negligible, and strong flow interactions take place owing to the induced circulatory cells. The calculated numerical results demonstrate close agreement with experiment.

Electronic corona may be obturated when dust load at inlet of ESP is more than 500g/Nm3, it will influence dedusting efficiency. Through analysis on current and electric intensity, we set up experiment device and use WS corona wire, fishbone corona wire, long dentation corona wire, V15 wire and RS corona wire to test their volt-ampere characteristics. This experiment indicates that the corona current produced by V15 and long dentation corona wires is higher, i.e. we can get higher corona current under same voltage to produce stronger corona discharge and electric wind, and it has little possibility to occur corona obturation in electric field. We can get the conclusion that V-typed corona wire is more suitable and economic for high dust load application.

AbstractThe electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow induced by a corona discharge has an important influence on the movement and collection of fine particles in an electrostatic precipitator. In this paper, three-dimensional particle image velocimetry (3D-PIV) is used to investigate the impact of different primary flow velocities and applied voltage on diffusion and transport of the spiked tubular electrode corona discharge EHD flow in a wide type electrostatic precipitator. In order to measure the flow characteristics of different positions of a spiked tubular electrode, the PIV measurements are carried out in several cross-sectional planes along the ESP duct. From 2D flow streamlines, in plane 1 (where the tip of the spike is oriented in the direction of primary flow), the velocity of the counter-clockwise vortex caused by the EHD flow near the plate decreases as the primary flow velocity increases. However, in plane 3 (where the tip direction is opposite to the primary flow), two vortices rotate adversely, and the flow velocity of the clockwise vortex near the plate increases as the primary flow velocity increases. Flow velocity increasing near the plate makes the particles deposited on the plate more easily to be re-entrained. It can be found in the three-dimensional analysis of the flow field that there are mainly “ascending vortex” and downward tip jet in the three observation planes. There is a discrepancy (in terms of distribution region and the magnitude of velocity) between the three-dimensional characteristics of these vortices and tip jets in the different cross-sectional planes.
