Particles suspended in a gas enter the precipitator and pass through ionized zones
around the high voltage discharge electrodes. The electrodes, through a corona effect
emit negatively charged ions into the gas.
|
The negatively charged gas field around each electrode charges the particles causing
them to migrate to the electrodes of opposite polarity, i.e. the collecting electrodes.
|
The charged particles gather on the grounded collecting plates. Rappers dislodge the
agglomerated particulate, which falls into the collection hoppers for removal.
