Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for carrying out measurement of gas distribution in an ESP and also relates to a gas distribution measurement system for measurement of gas velocities in an ESP. The gas distribution system (8) comprises probe carrier (9) that moves in the ESP 1, air velocity probe (10) that record the air velocity readings and a display controller (11).
Claims10
A method for measuring gas distribution in an electrostatic precipitator with at least one collecting electrode, comprising:
- a) installing inside the electrostatic precipitator on a surface of the collecting electrode, at least one remotely controlled probe carrier comprising at least one air velocity probe adapted to collect and record air velocity readings;
- and
- b) moving by remote control the probe carrier along the surface of the collecting electrode to cover an entire cross section of the electrostatic precipitator to capture and record a plurality of air velocity readings while moving the probe carrier along the surface of said collecting electrode.
A gas distribution measurement system for measuring gas distribution in an electrostatic precipitator having a plurality of collecting electrodes, the system comprising:
- at least one probe carrier comprising at least one air velocity probe adapted to collect and record air velocity readings;
- and
- a display controller comprising means for storing, calculating and reporting collected air velocity readings, and remote control means for controlling movement of the probe carrier remotely along a surface of a collecting electrode to cover an entire cross section of the electrostatic precipitator to capture and record a plurality of air velocity readings.
A probe carrier for measuring gas distribution in an electrostatic precipitator comprising:
- at least one air velocity probe adapted to collect and record air velocity readings;
- a control device adapted to receive air probe velocity readings;
- remote control means for controlling movement of the probe carrier remotely along a surface of a collecting electrode to cover an entire cross section of the electrostatic precipitator to capture and record a plurality of air velocity readings;
- and
- a motion and clamping mechanism adapted to allow the probe carrier to hold during movements.
