Abstract:
A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model has been developed that allows a realistic calculation of the precipitation efficiency of tube electrostatic precipitators, which are designed for use in residential biomass heating plants. The motivation for this work is especially the steady decrease of particle emission limits, which increases the interest in the application of cost-effective electrostatic precipitators for small biomass boilers. The details of the model are described. For validation, the model has been applied to a small-scale electrostatic precipitator, and the results of the simulation are compared to the data of corresponding test runs. Good agreement is found between simulation and measurements.
