Corona Power
SCA = (Total collection surface m2) / (The flow rate of Flue Gas in TPH)
Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of length to the height of an ESP.
This Aspect ratio is an important factor in reducing the rapping loss.
If the height of the collecting plate is more as compared to the length,
then during rapping, the dislodged dust particle is carried out by the gas
flow before it settles in the dust hopper. So, the collection efficiency
decreases.
In each section,
The effective length of the collecting surface is the sum of the length of
the plates
The effective height of the collecting surface is the sum of the height of
the plate.
If there are five sections, then the plate length is 3m, then the effective
length is given by 3*5 =15 m.
If the height of each plate is 10 m, then the aspect ratio, in this case, is
15/10 or 1.5.
For an ideal ESP, the Aspect ratio is kept approximately between 0.5
and 2.0.
