Definitions
- This invention relates generally to electrostatic precipitators for air pollution control and, more specifically, concerns the electrical control of electrostatic precipitators.
- An electrostatic precipitator is an air pollution control device designed to electrically charge and collect particulates generated from industrial processes such as those occurring in cement plants, pulp and paper mills and utilities. Particulate laden gas flows through the precipitator where the particulate is negatively charged. These negatively charged particles are attracted to, and collected by, positively charged metal plates. The cleaned process gas may then be further processed or safely discharged to the atmos ⁇ phere.
- a precipitator should be operated at the highest practical energy level to increase both the particle charge and collection capabilities of the system.
- sparking i.e., a temporary short which creates a conductive gas path
- the electrostatic precipitator should constantly operate at its point of greatest efficiency.
- the conditions, such as temperature, combustion rate, and the chemical composition of the particulate being collected, under which an electrostatic precipitator operates are constantly changing. This complicates the calculation of parameters critical to a precipitator's operation. This is particularly true of the current limiting reactor (CLR) which controls and limits the current entering the precipitator and matches the precipitator load to the line to allow for maximum power transfer to the precipitator.
- CLR current limiting reactor
- the current limiting reactor has two main functions. The first is to shape the voltage and current wave forms that appear in the precipitator for maximum collection efficiency. The second function of the CLR is to control and limit current.
- SCRs Two SCRs are connected in an inverse parallel arrangement in series between the power source and the precipitator high voltage transformer.
- the power source is an alternating current (AC) sinusoidal wave form whose value is zero at the beginning and end of every half cycle, and is a positive value during one half cycle and a negative value during the next half cycle. For a power source with a 60 Hz. frequency, this would occur every 8.33 milliseconds. (10 milliseconds for a 50 Hz. power source).
- the automatic voltage control provides gating such that the appropriate SCR maybe switched on at the same point during the half cycle to provide power control.
- the SCR remains switched on or in conduction until the current passing through the SCR falls below a specified value for the device.
- the cycle is then repeated for the next half cycle and the opposite SCR.
- the SCRs cannot be switched off by the automatic voltage control. If the precipitator spark level is reached with no control of current to the precipitator, equipment damage can occur.
- the CLR provides a means of controlling and limiting the current flow to the precipitator until the conducting SCR switches off at the end of the half cycle. Because of its critical role in maximizing electrostatic precipitator perfor ⁇ mance, it is vital that the CLR be properly sized. In the prior art, the CLR is sized at 30%-50% of the impedance of the transformer/rectifier (T/R) set.
- the production output of many industries may be limited by the amount of pollution discharged.
- the government sets limits on the amount of pollution a facility may generate and discharge. In the event this limit is exceeded, a facility is subject to fines and temporary or permanent shut-down. Therefore, in terms of profitability, it is imperative that the electrostatic precipitator operate at its highest efficiency, and in the event of a malfunction, minimizing down time is a high priority.
- this invention provides an on-line means that accurately and dynamically measures fractional conduction for sizing the CLR, replacing the "trial and error" used in the prior art.
- Another accurate method of analysis is to measure the root mean square (RMS) value and the average value of the primary current, then divide RMS by average to obtain the form factor.
- the theoretical form factor in a purely resistive circuit is 1.11. It is well known in the art that at a low form factor of approximately 1.2, maximum power transfer and collection efficiency is achieved. Accordingly, an object of this invention is to calculate the form factor to provide a verifiable basis on which to measure electrical efficiency of the CLR and other electrical components. Since a form factor can be calculated using primary voltage as well as primary current values, it is also an object of this invention to give the user the option of using either value.
- the electrical efficiency of the precipitator is also dependent upon the secon ⁇ dary current waveforms. It is well known in the art that the length of time the secondary current waveform pulse is present during the half cycle is determined by the correct matching and proper design of the precipitator components. For example; the T/R set, CLR and the size of the precipitator field must be matched for the precipitator to have maximum attainable collection efficiency for the application. Prior art requires point by point measurement of secondary current waveforms using an oscilloscope or similar device. Fractional conduction is then calculated from the waveforms shown on the oscilloscope. The duration of the pulse relative to the maximum duration possible (8.33 milliseconds for 60 Hz. applications and 10 milliseconds for 50 Hz. applications) is known as the fractional conduction.
- a fractional conduction of 1 would be considered ideal. That is, the secondary current pulse would be present for the entire half cycle of 8.33 milliseconds.
- Fractional conductions of .86 normally yield full rated average currents on a precipitator load. Fractional conductions less than .86 result in less than full rated average currents on the precipitator which decreases the collection efficien ⁇ cy. Therefore, it is a further object of this invention to continuously measure the secondary current waveform and report the fractional conduction so that adjustments can be made, either manually or automatically, in system components to maintain maximum collection efficiency. This ability to automatically measure and report secondary current fractional conduction is not available under the prior art. It is also an object of this invention to give the user the option of using either the form factor or the secondary waveform fractional conduction as a means to size the CLR.
- Another object of this invention is to provide these values in such a way as to facilitate manual or automatic adjustments to the CLR.
- a further object is to reduce start-up time by allowing programmable operating instructions that can be calculated and down loaded into the automatic voltage control. This will relieve the operator of initially having to calculate values and set the automatic voltage control, CLR, and other electrical components which will save time and reduce operator error.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a calculator from which the impedance of the CLR is calculated.
- Another important object is to minimize repair and troubleshooting time and expense by providing an automatic voltage control with the ability to diagnose fault conditions and suggest possible corrective measures.
- Another object of this invention is to reduce repair time and costs by locating often damaged components in an easily accessible location. All over-voltage protec ⁇ tion is positioned in a plug-in board. In the event that the automatic voltage control is damaged by over voltage, or modifications are needed for another application, this board can be removed and repaired without disassembling the entire automatic voltage control.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a portable, stand-alone form factor and fractional conduction meter for use separate from an automatic voltage control. This meter will calculate form factor or fractional conduction for any electros ⁇ tatic precipitator or similar equipment and immediately inform the operator how efficiently the equipment is performing.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a novel method for calculating form factor and fractional conduction.

- the primary embodiment of this invention is to work in coopera- tion with an electrostatic precipitator automatic voltage control device.
- a repre ⁇ sentative example of an electrostatic precipitator automatic voltage control is shown in my earlier patent U.S. Patent No. 4,605,424, issued August 12, 1986 and entitled "Method and Apparatus for Controlling Power to an Electronic Precipitator", which is incorporated by reference herein. It should be recognized that, while these two inventions may share hardware, the problems addressed by each are distinct.
- the '424 patent controls voltage or power to the precipitator while this invention addresses the inefficiency of improperly sized components of an electrostatic precipitator.
- input/output port 44 is utilized to communicate information to logic means 72 within computer 40. Communication may be accomplished through a built-in keyboard, portable lap-top computer, remote computer connected to the input/output port 44 directly or by modem, or by a similar means. Equipment size and power levels are communicated which allows initial calculations by logic means 72 to determine the proper setting of CLR 16 and other settings for other equipment. CLR 16 and other equipment may be set automatically, or the appropriate values may be sent to display 42 and the equipment set manually according to the previously calculated settings. The impedance of CLR 16 is calculated using calculator screens programmed into computer 40. The impedance is expressed as a percentage of the T R set.
- the desired spark rate, SCR firing angle, fault conditions and all other information required by the automatic voltage control to supply power to the precipitator is communicated through input/output port 44 to logic means 72. This relieves the operator from having to manually set the equipment and helps to eliminate operator error. Information and calculated values required for future reference are sent from logic means 72 to memory 74.
- the desired power level is sent from logic means 72, within computer 40, to
- SCR control circuit 24 where the power level is converted into an SCR firing angle. Power is applied to precipitator 22 in terms of SCR firing angle degrees.
- the sinusoidal electrical cycle consists of 360 degrees, and consists of a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle with respect to polarity. Each SCR can be fired anywhere from 0 degrees to 180 degrees in the electrical cycle, 0 degrees being full power and
- SCR 1 and SCR 2 The normal operating state of SCR 1 and SCR 2 is 180 degrees which allows 0 power from power source 10 to pass through to precipitator 22. After SCR firing circuit 24 translates the power level into the appropriate angle, this angle is sent to SCR 1 and SCR 2 which begins allowing the appropriate power to pass from power source 10 down line to step-up transformer 18 and full-wave rectifier 20, and even-
- a primary object of CLR 16 is to filter and shape the signal leaving SCR 1 and SCR 2.
- the shape of the secondary current filtered wave will be a broad, rectified sinusoidal waveform since
- CLR 16 is set so that its inductance matches total circuit
- Full-wave rectifier 20 converts the AC signal which passes through SCR 1 and SCR 2 into a pulsating DC signal.
- the positive output of full-wave rectifier 20 passes
- Fig.2 The circuitry that is principal to this invention can be found in Fig.2. Primary current and voltage along with secondary current and voltage each enter input scaling and signal conditioner 28. Primary current from current transformer 26 is introduced and flows to averaging circuit 46 and RMS circuit 48.
- the first half of averaging circuit 46 is a precision rectifier consisting of an operational amplifier 50 and two diodes 52 and 53. This precision rectifier provides a DC output that is not offset by the voltage drop of the diodes.
- a second operational amplifier 51 provides an averaging circuit such that the input of the total circuit 46 is AC and the output of the total circuit 46 is DC, proportional to the average value of the AC wave.
- the output of averaging circuit 46 is routed to computer 40.
- the primary current also enters an RMS circuit 48.
- Operational amplifier 54 provides an input buffer and signal conditioning while RMS converter 56 changes the AC input to its RMS value and this value is routed to computer 40.
- Computer 40 now has primary current in two forms: average and RMS.
- Transformer 30 provides primary voltage to input scaling and signal con ⁇ ditioner 28.
- the primary voltage enters RMS circuit 58 which changes the AC input to its RMS value, in the same manner as RMS circuit 48, and this value is routed to computer 40.
- resistors 60 and 62 are provided. When resistor 60 is short and resistor 62 is open, the input scaling and signal conditioner 28 is configured to read the true RMS value and average value of the primary current for measuring form factor. By opening resistor 60 and shorting resistor 62, the true RMS value and average value of the primary voltage can be used to calculate form factor. At all times the true RMS of both primary voltage and primary current are provided. Resistors 60 and 62 allow the option of calculating either the average of the primary current or the average of the primary voltage so that the form factor can be calculated using either current or voltage.
- Secondary current and voltage signals from circuitry associated with current meter 34 and voltage meter 39 both enter input scaling and signal conditioner 28. Secondary voltage passes through operational amplifiers 64 and 65 which provides isolation and scaling before it is routed to computer 40. The secondary current signal from resistor 32 is routed through resistor 37 to voltage comparator 41. Voltage comparator 41 compares the voltage proportional to the secondary current in precipitator 22 with a reference voltage. Ideally, the reference voltage would be zero volts. Preferably, since voltage comparator 41 is not an ideal device, and therefore, has some input offset voltage, the reference voltage is set slightly above zero volts.
- the output of voltage comparator 41 will become positive when the secondary current present in precipitator 22 is greater than zero.
- the output of voltage com- parator 41 will become zero volts when the secondary current present in precipitator 22 is zero. Therefore, the output of voltage comparator 41 is a pulse width that is proportional to the length of time that the secondary current pulse is present in precipitator 22. This pulse width is routed to computer 40.
- Computer 40 is pre-programmed with the maximum duration of pulse width possible for various line frequencies, or, alternatively, computer 40 could calculate the maximum pulse width possible for a desired frequency. For example, 8.33 mil ⁇ liseconds for 60 Hz. and 10 milliseconds for 50 Hz. Computer 40 measures the duration of the pulse width received from voltage comparator 41 and divides the measured pulse width by the maximum duration of pulse width possible for selected line frequency to obtain fractional conduction. It should be understood that although division is preferred, the actual and theoretical values may be compared in another manner to obtain fractional conduction data.
- Fractional conduction data is stored in memory 74 of computer 40 so that is can be subsequently retrieved.
- the data can be displayed locally on display 42. In addition, it can be transmitted to a remote computer or other display or control device. If the fractional conduction is not sufficiently close to a preferred level, corrective equipment adjustments are made to yield a more efficient output.
- Fractional conduc ⁇ tions of .86 normally yield full rated average currents on a precipitator load.
- Multiplexer 66 accepts each of the output signals of input scaling and signal conditioner 28. Upon a signal from logic means 72, multiplexer 66 allows one of the input signals from input scaling and signal conditioner 28 to pass. This signal passes through buffer 68, is converted to a digital signal at the A/D converter 70 and enters logic means 72. When logic means 72 receives both an RMS value and an average value for either primary current or primary voltage, the RMS value is divided by the average value to obtain the form factor. It should be understood that the RMS and average values could be compared in another manner to obtain form factor data. The form factor value is then transmitted to display 42. Display 42 can be a liquid crystal display or similar digital display, a CRT displaying the value graphically, a printed numerical or graphical representation or similar display.
- the form factor value can be transmitted to input/output port 44 and obtained remotely. An operator evaluates whether this form factor value is sufficiently close to the 1.11 ideal value. If not, equipment sizing is manually adjusted. It is also understood that this can be a closed loop system where the CLR 16 is automatically adjusted upon the determination of a poor form factor.
- help screens are employed.
- the programs diag- nose fault conditions and display help screens on display 42.
- the help screens suggest possible corrective measures to the operator so that appropriate corrective adjust ⁇ ments may be made to increase system operating efficiency to a desired level.
- All four inputs to multiplexer 66 are retrieved and analyzed by logic means 72 rapidly and continuously.
- logic means 72 determines that current meter 34 experienced a sudden increase in current, a spark condition in precipitator 22 is analyzed.
- logic means 72 transmits information to SCR control circuit 24 to not energize again until the spark is extin ⁇ guished. Since SCRs cannot shut off until the current passing through the SCR falls below a specified value for the device, up to an 8.33 millisecond delay, CLR 16 limits the current to precipitator 22 until the SCRs actually stop conducting.
- the time delay before re-energizing and the procedure for determining the appropriate firing angle with which to start energizing the SCRs is part of the automatic voltage control logic sequence and is detailed in the '424 patent.
- the '424 patent also details how fault conditions are recognized and power shut down attained. But, in the '424 patent, determining what type of fault, the cause, specific location of the fault and potential solutions is left to the operator.
- the present invention incorporates diagnostic capabilities which greatly reduce down time.
- computer 40 is fitted with non-volative memory 74, a device capable of retaining information when the power is removed.
- non-volative memory 74 a device capable of retaining information when the power is removed.
- the memory device containing its pre-programmed information informs the com ⁇ puter 40 of a short condition.
- Computer 40 analyzes the condition, retrieves the proper wording for a short and the corrective measures pre-programmed into memory 74, and routes them to display 42.
- a major problem with the prior art has been that automatic voltage controls are connected to a precipitator that operates on a number of voltages.
- the line voltage is normally from 380-575 volts, 50-60 Hz.
- the secondary voltage is roughly 50,000 volts.
- the automatic voltage control runs on five (5) volts.
- the electrical supply is 120 volts.
- This invention provides the automatic voltage control with a plug-in input circuit board where all the scaling and over-voltage protection is contained. When the automatic voltage control is wired into the system, it does not have to be removed to be repaired. This results in significant time and cost reductions.
- Fig.4 shows a form factor and fractional conduction meter as a stand-alone device.
- This device consists of sensor 76 which can typically be a clamp found on many present current transformers.
- Sensor 76 will sense the primary current of an electrostatic precipitator or similar device and provide this as an input to input scaling and signal conditioner 28.
- Input scaling and signal conditioner 28 will convert this current measurement to the average current and true RMS values.
- the true RMS value and average current value will be sent to computer 40 where the form factor calculations will be performed.
- sensor 76 detects the secondary current in the precipitator.
- Input scaling and signal conditioner 28 receives the secondary current signal and converts it to a pulse wave signal with a pulse width representing the duration of time secondary current is present in the precipitator. This converted signal is sent to computer 40 where the fractional conduction calculations are performed. Once the form factor and fractional conduction are determined, these values will be transmitted to display 42 for the operator to read and analyze the efficiency of the equipment being measured. Power source 78 will be available to drive each of these components. As a stand-alone portable device, this form factor and fractional conduction meter will be valuable to quickly and safely determine the present operating efficiency of electrostatic precipitators and similar equipment. From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all end and objects hereinabove set forth together with the other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
