A Prototype Electrofilter Design and Fabrication for Electricity Generation and Emission Reduction from Flues
A Prototype Electrofilter Design and Fabrication for Electricity Generation and Emission Reduction from Flues
With the increase in population and the rapid development of industrialization, there has been an increase in the use of fossil fuels. As a result of this use, some harmful gases and materials such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and particles are emitted to the environment. If these harmful pollutants are not cleaned, the air quality of the relevant place will be adversely affected. Especially, environmental pollution has occurred with harmful particle release from the flues in the facilities. In addition, heat release in the flue is lost for the system. In this study, it is aimed to decrease pollution and to contribute to energy efficiency by using electrofilter, which is an electronic method. Experimental studies are carried out on the prototype created in the laboratory. The performance of electrofilter is studied for different properties of electrodes such as width, length, and the number. According to the results, it is seen that the amount of emission can be reduced by increasing the electrode surface area. Electricity can also be generated by harvesting waste heat inside the flue with appropriate electronic equipment and it can be used to energize the system when necessary. Besides, prototype has a user interface and wireless communication features. Thus, an environmentally friendly and remotely observable system is acquired.
