Abstract. The scientific purpose of this study is to optimize 3 main parameters: hammer mass (m), hammer drop height (h) and filter chamber inlet dust concentration (η) of the Electrostatic precipitator (ESP), to meet the dust removal acceleration (a) and the hammer rapping force (F), ensure the working life span of the discharge electrode frames and the collecting electrode plates. This issue is evaluated as a multi-objective problem. The cyclic impact force (F) not only creates an acceleration (a) to remove the dust from the discharge frame but also causes fatigue damage to important parts of the dust filter chamber such as the discharge frames and collecting plates. To solve the scientific problem mentioned above, the article has applied the standard [2], the theoretical basis of empirical study of the author's [1], experimental results on the static and actual models of the filter chamber, and the theory of fatigue curve construction based on experiments [4,5,6].

Keywords: Dust filter chambers, Hammer rapping system, Discharge electrode.
