Mechanical Engineering Composite Hybrid Electrode WESP Carbon fiber Lightweight, compact, corrosion resistant, inexpensive Hybrid Composite Electrode (HCE) were designed and tested for the purpose of replacing conventional metal electrodes for use in wet electrostatic precipitators (WESP). In this experimental study, HCEs were made out of carbon fiber composites and stainless steel mesh. Several concepts and configurations of HCE were tested outside and inside pilot ESP chamber. Electrical performance of HCEs and two well-known types of metal electrodes were examined outside ESP chamber by connecting to a transformer-rectifier. Particulate collection efficiency tests were conducted for RDE and HCE inside membrane-based cross flow WESP. Experimental result showed that HCE generated a uniformly distributed discharge corona at comparable or higher discharge current and voltage values. In addition, the result suggested that HCE outperformed RDE at closer distances to grounded plate. Increasing the gap between the electrodes had higher impact on the HCE performance than increasing the number of electrodes. Finally, the collection efficiency tests showed that HCE had values comparable to conventional metal electrodes with additional advantage of being more suitable for collecting ultrafine particles with low ozone generation. 2017-06-12 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1492188040079733 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1492188040079733 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
