Development of Very High Intensity Precharger of Electrostatic Precipitator for Diesel Particulates

디-젤배진용 강력전치하전장치의 개발

A novel high intensity charging device has been developed for the control of the submicron particles, such as the diesel soot particulates, which are very hard to charge highly by any means of the conventional charging device. Having new corona electrodes of a multineedle disk with the corona field-control electrodes in the outer-cylinder electrode, extremely intense and stable coronas on there sharp points expanding both radially and axially are established in the corona charging region between the multi-corona -needles and an outer-cylinder electrode. As a result, the maximum corona field intensity and current density of the charging device of the standard one on soot load in laboratory tests have been 8.5KV/cm(E=$2V_m$/D(1nD/d)) and $6.5{\mu}A/cm^2$ which enhance greatly the charging of soot particles about several 100 times higher than those obtained in conventional cylinder precipitators.
