ABSTRACT:
In present days automobile
sector is developing drastically
increasing its production, which is resulting
in pollution due to the emission of exhaust
gas into the environment. Exhaust gas is a
composition of green house gases which
leads to global -warming .A recent report
says that the earths temperature is
increasing 2deg every year. When
compared with other automobiles the
exhaust gases coming from trucks/lorries
are enormous in our country. In order to
control such emission Electrostatic Smoke
Precipitator (ESP) technology can be
implemented. So developing and deploying
innovative technology is a must in order to
become efficient in controlling emission.
The idea being infused here is to control
excess emission using ESP. The sooty gas
coming through the exhaust pipe is allowed
to pass through the high negative charged
plate hereby the sooty particles pickup the
negative charge .On moving further there
are metal plates charged to a high positive
voltage. The plates are charged by the
battery of the vehicle. Since like charges
attract, the negatively charged
particles are attracted to the positively
charged plates and stick there. From time
to time, the plates have to be shaken to
empty away the soot; that can be done
either manually or automatically t but the
vibration produced in the vehicle is
sufficient to tap out the sooty particles. Our
design mainly consists of cylindrical pipe
by
battery, aluminium plate, copper plate and
collecting duct. This paper deals with
controlling the emission using this setup.

INTRODUCTION:
Emission control of carbon in
exhaust gas is a must because it plays an
important role in global warming, we are
mainly concerned of removing carbon and

PRINCIPLE:
Particles suspended in a gas
enter the precipitator and pass through
ionized zones around the high voltage
discharge electrodes. The electrodes,
through a corona effect emit negatively
charged ions into the gas. The negatively
charged gas field around each electrode
charges the particles causing them to
migrate to the electrodes of opposite
polarity, i.e. the collecting electrodes. The
charged particles gather on the grounded
collecting plates. Rappers dislodge the
agglomerated particulate, which falls into
the collection hoppers for removal.
WORKING:
The sooty gas pass through a
pipe consisting of aluminium plate (with
minute holes) charged to a very high
negative voltage. As the soot particles
move past the plates, they pick up a
negative charge. Further along the pipe
there are metal plates charged to a high
positive voltage. Since like charges attract,
the negatively charged soot particles are
attracted to the positively charged plates
and stick there. From time to time, the
plates have to be shaken to empty away the
soot; that can be done either manually or
automatically, but the vibration produced
in the vehicle is sufficient to tap out the
sooty particles. The sooty particles are
collected in the collecting duct. The cap of
the duct can be removed and the collected
particles can be disposed frequently.
Therefore the gas becomes ideal flue gas
with blackness of level 0.

FUTURE PLAN:

The extension of the

project in future is to use ceramic
material as an inner lining
(insulation) of the exhaust pipe
which will observe majority of the
gases present in the exhaust.
These results in pollution free and
eco-friendly gas released in the

preferred because it has high
thermal conductivity and
resistance to high thermal shock;
moreover ceramics are more
reliable than any other materials.
Ceramics are capable of
