Novel Wet Electrostatic Precipitator for Sub - Micron Particles

The waste incineration plants, power generation utility, chemical industry, etc. require the efficient removal of submicrometer particles from raw gases. Wet electrostatic precipitators (WESP) are the most effective control device for fine aerosol from the humid raw gases. They use less energy than mechanical collection devices, have no moving parts to wear, their maintenance costs are lower, p...

A Digitally Controlled Power Converter for an Electrostatic Precipitator

Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are devices used in industry to eliminate polluting particles in gases. In order to supply them, an interface must be included between the three-phase main line and the required high DC voltage of tens of kilovolts. This paper describes an 80-kW power supply for such an application. Its structure is based on the series parallel resonant converter with a capaci...

Power Electronic Modelling and Emulation of an Electrostatic Precipitator

In this paper a power electronic emulation of an electrostatic precipitator is presented. Precipitator power supplies can be tested under real power and operating conditions up to 200 kVA. Energy consumption of the system is very low, because the energy which is drawn by the emulation converter is fed back into the power grid. Therefore, just the power losses have to be provided by the grid. It...

Removal of Serratia marcescens aerosols using an electrostatic precipitator.

We characterized the efficacy of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) air-cleaner in reducing the concentration of Serratia marcescens in an enclosed space. We used an experimental room (4.5 x 3 x 2.9 m) in which electrostatic aircleaners were located. Two air-cleaners enhanced the equivalent ventilation rates in the chamber by about 3.3 air changes per hour (ACH) over the 2 ACH provided by the ...
