An analysis of the operation of EHAH electrostatic precipitators designed for cleaning gases and aspiration air from dust has been carried out. An upgrade of the electrostatic precipitator, which allows eliminating vortex generation, reducing the likelihood of particles slipping (due to their high velocity), improving the collection of purified gas, and reducing stagnant zones in the confuser, has been proposed. A rationally chosen value of the inclination angle of the plates ensures a decrease in the likelihood of a lifting effect, in which particles can slip into the upper electrode-free space. A local decrease in velocity in the outlet gas duct was established to be within 7%.
