 ELCTROSTATIC PRINCIPLE:-

An ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR(ESP) is an device that


removes dust particles from a flowing gas (such as air)
using the force of an induced ELECTROSTATIC
ATTRACTION ( like charges repel; unlike charges
attract)
Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient filtration
devices that allow the flow of gases through the
device, and can easily remove fine particulate matter
such as dust and smoke from the air stream
Approx 98% efficient in cleaning impurity by this
process.
COMPONENTS USED IN
ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR
• Electrodes
• 440V 50HZ supply
• High voltage transformer
• Rectifier
• insulators
• Hooper
• Control cabinet
Control cabinet is used to interconnect the 3φ ac
supply and transformer through wires.
• Transformer
Transformer is used to step up or step down the
voltage as per the design of Electrostatic
precipitator.
• Rectifier
Rectifier is used to convert the given ac supply into
dc supply.
• Hooper
Hooper is used to store the dust particles and ash
content coming out from the Electrostatic
precipitator.
 ELECTRODES: -
Based on DC current flow
terminals elctrodes can be
divided as below:-

• Discharge electrode :-
Electrodes wire which carries
negatively charged high
voltage (between 20 to 80KV)
Act as discharge or emitting
electrodes.
• Collector electrode :-
Electrode wire which carries
positively charged high voltage
act as Collecting electrodes.
WORKING OF ELECTROSTATIC
PRECIPITATOR
Stage-1
• Several things happen very rapidly
(in a matter of a millisecond) in the
small area around the discharge electrode.
Electric field is emerged due to dc terminal
arrangement. The applied (-) voltage in
discharge electrode is increased until it
produces a corona discharge, which can
be seen as a luminous blue glow
around the discharge Electrode.
• Due to the formation of corona discharge,
free electrons are emitted with high
velocity from discharge electrode.
• This fast moving free electrons strikes the gas molecule thus emission of free electron from gas molecules
takes place. The positive ion molecule move towards discharge electrode by electrostatic attraction
• As a result using gas molecule more free electrons are emitted near the discharge electrode
Stage – 2
As the electrons leave the
strong electrical field area
around the discharge
electrode, they start slowing
down. This free electron again
strikes the gas molecule but
this time they are
captured by gas molecule
and became negatively charged ion.
• As the gas molecule are
negatively ionized they
move towards the (+) electrode
( collector electrode).
• This negative gas ion
fills the space of Dust particle
and becoming negatively
charged particle.
• When supply is off, the dust fall in a
Hopper and impurities are removed
Advantages of ESP
• Processing large gas range
• Allow higher operating temperatures, 350-
400˚C or Higher
• High purification efficiency ( 0.01 micron fine
dust)
• Automatic control operation can be fully
realized
Disadvantages of ESP
• Equipment is more complex
• Time investment is large
• Currently some companies can not reach the
practical effect of the design requirements
