With a high voltage applied to the discharge electrodes a strong electrical field is created between the electrodes and the flue gas is ionised, plus-ions migrate to the negative electrode and minus-ions migrate to the ground electrode. On their way through the particulate laden gas the ions collide with and attach themselves to particles and drag them to the electrodes.

How do the electrostatic smoke precipitators work?

It sucks in smoke Smoke is made up of mostly solid substances dispersed in a gas. The electrostatic smoke precipitator generates static electricity, this then gives the solid particles passing through them a negative charge. The particles then pass through to two positively charged conducting plates and, due to their negative charge, they are attracted to the plates where they collect and form a layer.


How does an electrostatic precipitator work and what does it remove?

An electrostatic precipitator works by using an electric charge to remove particles like dust and smoke from the air. The device attracts the particles to metal plates, where they collect and can be removed.


How does a electrostatic generator work?

An electrostatic generator works by using mechanical energy to separate charges, creating a difference in electrical potential. This potential difference generates an electric current when a conductive material is connected to the generator. This process is based on the principles of electrostatic induction and friction.

Why technology doesn't work without science but science can work without technology?

More a philosophical question but most likely the answer would be that science is the basis of technology not the other way round. Technology is the practical use of science. You can still understand science without using it in practical terms.


How do electrostatic air filters work to improve indoor air quality?

Electrostatic air filters work by using static electricity to attract and trap particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander as air passes through them. This helps to improve indoor air quality by removing these pollutants from the air, making it cleaner and healthier to breathe.
