Discharge Electrodes
There are various type of discharge electrodes in the industry. Round wire, flat strip with triange shapes, pointed nails are most of the discharge electrode types.
Discharge electrodes are manufactured as sharp steel parts.
Discharge electrodes can be produced with different type of connection parts according to the electrostatic precipitator ’s design. In recent years, especially rigid type of discharge electrodes are used for electrostatic precipitators due to the tear resistance.
For some applications especially in corosive ambient, stainless steel discharge electrodes can bu used succesfully.
The smoothness and rigidity of the discharge electrodes are just as important in the efficiency of the electrostatic precipitators as the straightness of the collecting plates. For this reason, the necessary precautions should be taken considering the sensitivity of the discharge electrodes
both during the manufacturing process and during the assembly phase.
