Electrostatic precipitators are the preferred technology for dust removal at the head of sintering machine. The vibration acceleration used for dust removal directly determines the efficiency of this process as well as the service life of the equipment. Excessive vibration acceleration can cause secondary fugitive dust,and if it is too small,the dust cannot be thoroughly cleaned,both of which will reduce the dust removal effect. In the context of increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements,the influence of vibration acceleration on dust removal efficiency is reviewed,the technical demand of vibration acceleration in the market is summarized,and the actual experimental testing of the vibration acceleration of the ultra-large electrostatic precipitator is carried out,and the reasonable range of cathode and anode vibration acceleration under different working conditions is sorted out. The results show that for the electric field of 6. 4 m × 5 m (height × width),the vibrating hammer with a diameter of 125 mm can be used to make the vibration acceleration of 150g ~1 100g in the anode,the vibration acceleration can be 50g ~ 400g by using a vibrating hammer with a diameter of 95 mm in the cathode,and a vibrating hammer with a diameter of 90 mm can be used for the 13. 2 m height maze dust collection device, which can make the vibration acceleration to 50g ~200g . Finally, the test standards and limit values of vibration acceleration are developed,and group standards are formed and relevant industry standards and national standards are revised to provide reference for the selection and design of electrostatic precipitators.
