Study on Non-Static Collection Theory for Dust of Electrostatic Precipitator

In order to further improve the collection efficiency of ESP especially for high-resistivity dust and perfect electrostatic collection theory, how dust layer effects collection efficiency should be revealed more accurately. Taking dust layer as research object, the paper has theoretically analysed the charge distribution of dust layer based on basic principles of electrostatics and Ohm’s Law in order to deduce the formula of the amount of accumulated charge in dust layer. The formula of electric-field strength formed by accumulated charges in collection space was deduced according to the principle of constant voltage and the potential continuity principle of phase boundary. Then the formulas of calculating the effective collecting electric-field and the effective theory migration velocity of charged particles were obtained. The theoretical criterion of occurring back corona was proposed by theoretical analysis of distribution characteristics of electric-field strength in dust layer. Besides that, the elaboration of non-static electrostatic collection theory has enriched and developed the traditional electrostatic collection theory. The paper has player an important role in the design of structure and the selection of operating parameters of ESP, and in the direction to explore the new ways of improving collection efficiency of high-resistivity dust.
