Thermo–Electrical Performance Enhancement of a Lightweight Polymer–Metal Hybrid Electrostatic Precipitator Using Epoxy-Based Composite Housing for Industrial Particulate Control
Abstract: Airborne particulate emissions, particularly PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ produced by industrial activities and combustion processes, they continue to pose a significant threat to both the environment and public health. Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) are widely recognized for their ability to achieve high collection efficiencies; however, conventional metallic constructions often lead to increased system weight, higher fabrication costs, and long-term corrosion-related challenges. In this study, a lightweight hybrid material approach is proposed by …
