Operating Principles
of Electrostatic Precipitators

Process gases laden with dust enter the electrostatic precipitator horizontally. The incoming gas is evenly distributed across the entire filter surface at a uniform flow rate. Spark discharge electrodes located between the collecting plates create an electric field that imparts an electrical charge to dust particles. As the charged particles travel through the electric field, they are drawn by electrostatic forces to the collecting electrodes, where they agglomerate with previously collected particles and are removed via mechanical shaking. The dislodged dust layer falls into a collection hopper and is discharged through the dust outlet. The cleaned gas then exits the precipitator through the gas outlet casing.

Within the gas flow channels are centrally mounted frame assemblies fitted with knife‑edge steel strip electrodes. Depending on the model, channel spacing may vary, providing high flexibility of application.
