In this paper, a pure theoretical method for calculating the onset voltage of corona in duct-type precipitators that is independent of the arrangement of discharge wires relative to the collecting plates is described. This method is based on a criterion for self-recurring single electron avalanches in a known field distribution in the ionization zone surrounding the discharge wire. The results computed by this method are in reasonable agreement with those measured experimentally., A pure theoretical method for calculating the onset voltage of corona in duct-type electrostatic precipitators that is independent of the arrangement of discharge wires relative to the collecting plates is described.
