DOIAbstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the use of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) for controlling the emissions of particulate matter (PM) from small-scale heating units, specifically boilers that combust solid fuel with a heating power output of <300 kW. The equilibrium between the required precipitation efficiency and the structural parameters of the ESP in combination with the applied voltage were determined. This study presents a method of optimising the applied voltage alongside the specific ESP structural parameters while retaining the required precipitation efficiency. The ESP was designed, optimised, and integrated into a 15-kW boiler without expanding its volume. The theoretically predicted voltages and resulting ESP efficien...
