Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) play a crucial role in removing harmful particles in various industries. Ongoing studies continuously strive to improve their performance and efficiency, leveraging the inherent advantages of ESPs. Researchers are exploring various types of collecting and discharge electrodes to achieve this. This study specifically focuses on comparing two types of collecting electrodes, Semicircular Corrugated Plates (SCPs) and inverted Semicircular Corrugated Plates (InvSCPs), against Flat Plates (FPs) as a reference case. Three distinct forms of ESPs were simulated, and the SCP and InvSCP designs were evaluated against the FPs, specifically assessing the impact of modifying the collecting electrode design on key electrostatic precipitator characteristics, such as electrical field distribution, space charge density distribution, particle trajectories, and particle collection efficiency. Notably, the study found that using SCP resulted in the highest particle collection efficiency compared to InvSCP and FP for the same range of particles.
