Abstract

In a charging time period T 1 , a dry electrostatic precipitator outputs DCON that is a current for charging a collection target object from a high voltage power supply. Subsequently, in a second period of time T 2 - 2 after a first period of time T 2 - 1 passes from a time that a charging pause time period T 2 starts, the dry electrostatic precipitator outputs DCBC that is a current that is less than DCON and is greater than a current in the first period of time T 2 - 1 , from the high voltage power supply.

Claims (8)

1. A charge control method for an electrostatic precipitator whereas the electrostatic precipitator comprises

a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged to oppose each other along a circulation direction of a gas flow form an electrical field for charging a collection target object contained in the gas flow and collecting the collection target object by means of an electrostatic force, and

a power supply that applies a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode so as to repeat a charging time period and a charging pause time period,

whereas after a first period of time passes from a time that starts the charging pause time period, a second period of time occurs, and

the charge control method comprising method steps of:

in the charging time period, the power supply outputs a predetermined current for charging the collection target object and;

in the second period of time the power supply outputs a second current that is less than the current in the charging time period, which is the predetermined current, and greater than a first current in the first period of time;

wherein, a slope of an output voltage decreases after a time that the charging pause time period starts, the slope becomes equal to or less than a prescribed value, and the power supply increases an output current to obtain an output voltage that is equal to or less than the slope for the prescribed value and starts the second period of time.
