Abstract
In this paper, the results of the particle image velocimetry measurements of the flow velocity fields in an intermediate spacing wire-to-plate type electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with a single positive polarity wire electrode are presented. The observation plane was placed perpendicular to the wire electrode at its half-length. The investigation showed significant influence of the electric field and charge on the flow patterns in the intermediate spacing ESP under an extreme large electrohydrodynamic (EHD) number. The EHD forces cause the formation of strong vortex pairs in the upstream and downstream ESP regions for Ehd/Re2>1.
