3.0 PRE-REQUISITES
Owner’s fly ash removal system shall not be connected to the hopper.
Inlet and outlet duct connections shall be left open.
415 V, 3 phase, 50 Hz temporary electrical supply for conduct of the test shall be provided.
4.0 TEST PROCEDURE
Mount the Fan and motor arrangement in line with the Venturi-meter and connect it to the flange of any one of
hoppers. So that pressurization of ESP internals can be done through this arrangement.
Mount a ‘U’ tube manometer on a tapping provided on the hopper adjacent to
the pressurization equipment as shown in Fig. No. 1.

Once all known openings are close. Pressurise the ESP by fan and motor arrangement such that the constant
pressure differential is maintained in ‘U’ tube manometer mounted on the hopper (least count 1mm).
Observe the volume of air being pumped in, for constant pressure difference by the pressure drop across the
Venturi-meter.
Repeat the test for number of readings of different pressure and note down the corresponding pressure
differentials across the Venturi-meter.
5.1 THEORY
When stable conditions are established, the mass flow rate of air through the fan, Venturi-meter and the
precipitator must be constant.
mf = Q
Where
= x k vent x
where

M filter = 2 x
Where,
K filter = A constant to be determined.
Ps filter = Static pressure of air inside Electrostatic Precipitator (Pressure differential as observed in ‘U’ tube
manometer).
2 = The density of air at Electrostatic Precipitator condition.
1 x k vent x = 2 x k filter x
for practical purpose 1 can be taken as 2
Where
Q Leakage = K filter x
DOC.NO.: PAGE 06 OF 09
PN:TSX:257:00:2005
K filter = K vent x
Where,
Ps filter = Actual static pressure in ESP
filter = Density of gas at operating condition (0.874 kg/m3)
K vent = Venturi meter constant (0.143)
∆P = Pressure difference measured across venturi meter
Ps filter = ESP static pressure measured in U – tube manometer
EG:
PASS - A
PASS - B
Ps filter in mmWc ∆P Vent in mmWc K filter = K vent √∆P/Ps filter
100 3.5 0.027
150 5.5 0.027
200 8.0 0.029
250 9.0 0.027
300 11.5 0.028
K filter (Average) 0.0276

Thus the air in leakage is less than the guaranteed value of 1.21 m3/s.
