Parameter Tests
The previously described parameters had been tested to clarify the influence on the
overall process. A process yield of 2-30mm has been defined to produce chip size
material. To achieve stable discharges for all tests the min. voltage of 170kV has been
chosen.
Figure 4:
Parameter 1 - Conveyor speed influence on the throughput
Increased conveyor speed leads to bigger particles sizes and increased throughput.
Figure 5:
Parameter 2 - electrode gap
2-30mm was the target particle size fraction.
