Novel Hybrid Composite Discharge Electrode for Electrostatic Precipitator

摘要: ABSTRACTOver the last few decades, electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have emerged as effective air pollution control devices for treating coal-fired power plant exhausts. Among components of ESP, discharge electrodes are extremely important in determining collection efficiency ESP. Typically, wet ESPs, used must be made corrosion-resistant alloys, which makes them expensive and heavy. Hybrid composite potential to lightweight substitute traditional metal alloy ESPs. In this experimental study, a novel hybrid electrode (recently patented at Ohio University) is presented The samples were fabricated by using carbon fiber composites, combined with mesh, shape long thin tape. electrode’s electrical response was evaluated open atmospheric condit...
