EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

4.1 CASING

The casing constitutes an important part of the electrostatic precipitator


installation. Its design has a big influence on the total price, the erection.Time and
the civil foundation work needed. Casing design is an all welded gas tight
construction consisting of prefabricated wall, roof and gable panels. The casing
is of rigid construction designed for limited deflections. This ensures that the
alignment remains perfect during all specified operating conditions .

The panel construction means that the main part of the manufacturing work
can be carried out in the workshop which results in better tolerance and more
efficient control.

4.1.1 STEEL CASING - IB DESIGN

This type of casing is designed with horizontal self supporting wall


elements and internal bracings.

The roof loads i.e. main loads, are distributed from the roof beams via
the top panel into vertical corner columns directly down to the foundations. By
using this wall design the numbers of supporting points are kept to the minimum.

For larger precipitators, internal central columns are used for sharing
the roof loads alongwith wall columns. Internal bracings are designed to carry the
horizontal loads due to wind orearthquake.

This kind of casing is not be used when extremely sticky dust is


expected.

4.1.2 STEEL CASING - LQ DESIGN

This type of casing is designed with vertical wall panels without internal
bracings. Thereare two complete frames per field, consisting of columns, roof
beam and bottom beam to take up theloads. As there are no columns and bracings,
frame members are having longer span resulting into higher sections and design
will therefore be heavier and more limited in size. The roof design is similar to the
design used for IB design. This casing is considered when sticky dust is expected.
