Numerical Study on W-type Collecting Plates with Multiple Corona Electrodes of Electrostatic Precipitators

Abstract

The optimal arrangement of collecting plates and corona wires considerably impacts the collection efficiency of Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs). Many experts are striving to improve existing models in a variety of methods. This research aims to examine the effects of using multiple corona wires with W-type collecting plates on the properties of electrostatic precipitators. Three different types of corona wire arrangements with W-type collecting plates were modeled and compared with Flat Plates (FPs) to evaluate the effect of using multiple corona electrodes on the electrical field distribution, space charge density distribution, current density distribution, and particle collection efficiency.
