Abstract
In this paper, a pure theoretical method for calculating the onset vol tage of corona in duct-type precipitators that is independent of the a rrangement of discharge wires relative to the collecting plates is des cribed. This method is based on a criterion for self-recurring single electron avalanches in a known field distribution in the ionization zo ne surrounding the discharge wire. The results computed by this method are in reasonable agreement with those measured experimentally.
