Description
Summary:A healthy and comfortable indoor environment is the most basic requirement of human beings. The importance of indoor air quality has been increasing day to day. Although ventilation systems have an essential role in improving indoor air quality, it is inevitable to clean the particulates, microorganisms and pollutant gases in the outside fresh air before being transferred to the indoor environment. Electrostatic precipitators are commonly used for collecting particles mostly in industrial plants. This paper presents a review of electrostatic filtration technology. In this study, theoretical and technical developments of electrostatic precipitators, design parameters that effect filtering performance, advantages, challenges, and limitations are discussed.
