Abstract
A system for controlling an electrostatic precipitator includes a computer control system with a computer and a controller in operative communication with an electrostatic precipitator. The computer control system is operative to control performance of the electrostatic precipitator by controlling one or more of: a) a power supply that controls voltage between an electrically grounded vertical plate and a metallic wire electrode in the electrostatic precipitator; b) a first feeder valve and a second feeder valve in a hopper; and c) a power supply to an electrical coil in operative communication with a rapper.
Claims16
A system for controlling an electrostatic precipitator comprising:
- a computer control system that comprises a computer and a controller in operative communication with an electrostatic precipitator;
- and
- the computer control system operative to control performance of the electrostatic precipitator by controlling one or more of:
- a power supply that controls voltage between an electrically grounded vertical plate and a metallic wire electrode in the electrostatic precipitator;
- a first feeder valve and a second feeder valve in a hopper;
- and
- a power supply to an electrical coil in operative communication with a rapper.
A method for controlling an electrostatic precipitator comprising:
- transmitting a signal from an electrostatic precipitator, a measuring device for determining flue gas particulate matter content, a rapper system, and a hopper associated with the electrostatic precipitator, to a -computer control system 215, where the computer control system comprises a computer and a controller;
- and
- transmitting a signal from the computer to the controller for controller adjustment to the electrostatic precipitator based on historical data capture or based on correlations between transmitted signals.
