Precision-Engineered Discharge Electrodes for Reliable ESP Performance

Discharge electrodes are a critical component of an Electrostatic Precipitator. They operate at a high electrical potential relative to the collecting electrodes and generate the corona discharge required to electrically charge particulate matter in the gas stream. The charged particles then migrate towards the collecting electrodes under the influence of the electrostatic field.

The Product

The electrode that charges the dust.

Aeon Tech Solutions supplies precision-engineered discharge electrodes for Electrostatic Precipitators. These electrodes are designed around the required corona-generating geometry, mechanical configuration and ESP operating conditions.

Different discharge-electrode configurations can be supplied for new installations, replacement requirements and retrofit applications, subject to customer drawings, OEM specifications and project requirements.

The discharge electrode sits centred in the passage between two earthed collecting plates. Corona forms at the electrode; the dust ends up on the plates.

How the Spiral Electrode Works

A section across one gas passage, gas flowing into the page. The blue glow is the corona — the visible ionisation at the electrode surface that gives the dust its charge. Discharge electrode charges; collecting electrode collects.

Corona intensity, ion density and migration are shown schematically to explain the process. Actual field behaviour depends on the ESP design, gas conditions and applied voltage.

Discharge Electrode Configurations

Corona-generating geometry differs between configurations, and so does the mechanical arrangement that carries it. The right choice follows the precipitator design, the electrode spacing and what the existing installation was built around.

Electrode configurations can be supplied or developed according to customer drawings, OEM specifications and ESP design requirements.

The illustrations above are schematic representations of electrode families for identification and discussion. Manufactured geometry follows the approved drawing or the sample supplied for a given order.

Spiral electrodes are a specialised discharge-electrode configuration used in certain ESP designs. The continuous helical geometry presents a corona-emitting profile along the whole active length of the electrode, rather than at discrete points.

The exact geometry, pitch, diameter, length and mounting arrangement depend on the ESP design and on the field the electrode is being fitted into.

Spiral discharge electrodes are manufactured to suit the specific electrical and mechanical requirements of the ESP. Geometry and dimensions can be configured according to customer/OEM drawings and application requirements.

Materials & Manufacturing

Material follows the duty, not the catalogue.

A discharge electrode has to hold its corona geometry and its alignment through thermal cycling, rapping shock and whatever the gas stream contains. Material selection depends on:

Operating temperature Gas chemistry Corrosion environment Mechanical loads Electrical operating conditions Expected service conditions

Aeon Tech Solutions can supply according to the specified design and material requirements.

Technical Specifications

Every line set by your installation.

Discharge electrodes are defined by the field they hang in — the passage width, the suspension arrangement, the energisation and the dust being handled. Nothing below is a stock figure, and we would rather work from your drawing or a sample than guess.
