摘要: The multipoint-to-plane electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is one type of ESP devices used for the sampling and control of nanoparticles and sub-micron particles, with the advantage of a low pressure drop and high particle collection efficiency. Several empirical equations for predicting the particle collection efficiency are available in the literature, but most of them are only applicable to wire-in-plate ESPs. For ESPs with different discharge electrodes, the empirical equations are different since the ion concentration and electric fields are different. In this paper, a predictive method is developed to calculate the particle migration velocity and the particle collection efficiency equation eta(%) of multipoint-to-plane ESPs in the form of eta(%) = {1 - exp{-[beta(1)(N-De(beta 2)) + beta(3)(N-De) + beta(4)]}} x 100%, in which beta(1), beta(2), beta(3) and beta(4) are regression coefficients and N-De is the Deutsch number determined by the particle migration velocity. Good agreement is obtained between the present model predictions and the experimental particle collection efficiencies obtained from the literature. It is expected that the present model can be used to facilitate the design of efficient multipoint-to-plane ESPs for nanoparticle and sub-micron particles removal in the future.
