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
The mass flow rate through the venture can be written as function of the pressure differential and co-efficient
of discharge for the Venturi.
= 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
The tests are conducted for different Ps filter (mmWc) conditions viz. 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mm of WC by
suitably varying the damper control of the fan. Calculate K filter from the known values of equation (1). It may
be inferred that K filter is a constant.
Q Leakage = K filter x

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