Abstract :
Static electrification characteristics of dimethyl ether (DME) were studied considering accidents during unloading (discharging) operations. Producing mist flow, static electrification by the mist was studied as a first step. Influences of flow velocity on the charge generation, produced potential, charge generation ratio, electrostatic energy, etc. were investigated experimentally. Although the produced charge is not too big, it will be requested to pay full attention during the handling process, considering the igniting characteristics of DME.
