Working Mechanism

• The electrostatic precipitator uses high voltage to charge particles in the exhaust. Electrostatic Precipitator
• Charged particles attach to negatively charged collection plates, allowing clean air to exit. Collection Plate
• The process involves controlling the velocity of the exhaust to ensure effective attraction of charged particles. Exhaust Velocity

Conclusion

The electrostatic precipitator is crucial for maintaining air quality by filtering out harmful pollutants before they are released into the atmosphere. Air Quality
