Description:
The paper details the ways in which waveform effects in electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are modeled. he effects of waveforms on particle charging, space charge corona suppression, and sparking are examined. he paper shows how the models extend these results to the case of intermittent energization. lectrical energization waveforms were discovered to have an unexpectedly large role during the development of two ESP programs, ESPM and ESPVI 4.0. he model that predicted laboratory voltage/current curves superbly gave unacceptably high current densities for large scale ESPs. his is primarily due to the waveforms: ure dc in the laboratory and pulsating dc in the field.
