BASIC APPROACHES TOWARDS PROLONGING THE SERVICE LIFE OF ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS

摘要

Approaches designed to prolong the service life of electrostatic precipitators, such as decreasing the strength of the impact action on the electrode systems, reducing the influence of stress concentrators in transition sections and welded joints, and estimating and selecting operating regimes to support service life and cleaning efficiency, are evaluated. Studies of the dynamic behavior of the electrodes in order to identify structural designs intended to reduce losses of the impact energy from the hammer device to the elements of the electrodes were carried out. New engineering designs for the construction of the electrodes were developed and limits on increasing their service life were estimated.
