Abstract
The article gives results of a test program to determine the quantity and size distribution of rapping reentrainment emissions from a large pilot-scale electrostatic precipitator (ESP) at TVA's Bull Run steam plant. The ESP current density and specific collection area were varied during the testing. The data were compared to information from full-scale ESPs that had been used to derive generic relationships for rapping reentrainment incorporated in the mathematical model of precipitation. The studies showed that the character of the rapping emissions measured on the pilot ESP differs from the generic rapping used in the ESP model.
