How does an electrostatic precipitator work in 5-7 steps?

Electrostatic precipitator is a device used to remove dust particles from a gas or any other reasonable source. We apply a high-voltage electrostatic charge in order to do so.

Explanation:

Electrostatic precipitator is a device used to remove dust particles from a gas or any other reasonable source. We apply a high-voltage electrostatic charge in order to do so.

Electrostatic precipitators force dirty gas inside a pipe or smokestack.

The first electrode is charged to a very high negative voltage.

As the dirt particles move, they get negative charge around them.

Second electrode is charged to a high positive voltage.

So the charges attract to the respective plates depending the charges.

After this is done the plates are shaken to remove the waste.

In this way the dust particles are removed.
