Numerical Simulation and Experimental Studies for High Gas Velocity Electrostatic Precipitator

The high gas velocity electrostatic precipitator (HGVESP) is simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. The SIMPLE algorithm is used to calculate and the geometry model is divided by pre-processing software ICEM. The relationship of gas velocity, dust particle size and voltage is examined by FLUENT. The results suggest that with the improvement of applied voltage and dust particle size, collection efficiency increases. The results show that HGVESP with transverse plates can not only have a high efficiency, but also increase treatment capacity, which achieve miniaturization. Then the correctness of the model is verified by experiments.
