The first use of corona discharge to remove particles from an aerosol was by Hohlfeld in 1824. However, it was not commercialized … Féach tuilleadh

The four main components of all electrostatic precipitators are:
• Power supply unit, to provide high-voltage DC power
• Ionizing … Féach tuilleadh

The following factors affect the efficiency of electrostatic precipitators:
• Larger collection-surface areas and lower gas-flow rates increase efficiency because of the increased … Féach tuilleadh

A wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP or wet ESP) operates with water vapor saturated air streams (100% relative humidity). … Féach tuilleadh

There are two main types of precipitators:
• High-voltage, single-stage - Single-stage precipitators combine an ionization and a collection step. They are commonly referred to as Cottrell precipitators.
• Low-voltage, two-stage - Two-stage precipitators … Féach tuilleadh

ESPs continue to be excellent devices for control of many industrial particulate emissions, including smoke from electricity … Féach tuilleadh

Electrostatic precipitators can be used to sample biological airborne particles or aerosol for analysis. Sampling for bioaerosols requires precipitator designs optimised with a liquid counter electrode, which can be used to sample biological particles, e.g. … Féach tuilleadh
