Meaning of sneakage | Babel Free
Definitions
The situation where gases carrying dust bypass the active electrode system of an electrostatic precipitator.
Examples
“Improved performance is obtained by reducing gas flow⟳ unevenness, dust flow⟳ unevenness, dust reentrainment, and gas sneakage.”
“Sneakage and poor gas flow⟳ distribution adversely affect⟳ the collection efficiency. Sneakage occurs when a portion of the gas bypasses the electrified regions of the ESP by flowing through the hopper area and high voltage feed-through areas.”
“Gases flowing between the very outmost collector plates and the wall of the housing, and gases flowing above and below the electrode systems, carry⟳ dust and give⟳ rise⟳ to sneakage.”
