Soot Treatment by Using High Voltage Pulse Energized Electrostatic Precipitator

This paper presents the design and construction of the electrostatic precipitator for treated soot from the exhaust pipe by using corona plasma technique that generates from high voltage pulse energizing to excite the electric field between electrodes. Therefore, the electrons between electrodes have energized into high energy in electrode gap. From a comparative study of the field exciting between high voltage pulses energizing and high voltage direct current energizing, it was found that high voltage pulse energizing not only used lower energy but also had higher efficiency. Moreover, the relationship between varying high voltage and treating soot has been discussed. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
