Simulation of Airflow Distribution of Parallel-Type Electrostatic Fabric Filter in Coal-fired Power Plant

This paper introduces the status of parallel-type Electrostatic Fabric Filter was researched, and the factors influencing collection efficiency were analyzed in this paper. Using software Gambit, which also meshed the calculating region, a three-dimensional structure model of the precipitator was established. And then the numerical simulation of the air distribution characteristic was carried on with the software of fluent 6.2, which sets the boundary conditions, standard k-ε 2-equation model and SIMPLE algorithm; Then draw the path line and contour chart of the cross-section, obtained the mean square deviation value, analyzed the airflow distribution situation and the reasons for why its uneven. By setting an appropriate opening rate for the airflow distribution plates and collection plates to improve the air distribution. The results show that the airflow distribution can be uniformed by improving the opening rate of the collection plates. The numerical simulation result is more reasonable and can be used as the reference of optimizing the structural design of Electrostatic Fabric Filter.
