Application of Electrostatic Effect for Cleansing Finely Divided Aerosol from Air

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The possibility of intensifying the processes in gas-dispersed systems with coagulated particles of different dimensions and the efficiency of air purification depend on the characteristics of the field created by electrodepositing plants. This work was carried out with a view of optimizing the parameters of electrodepositing systems to increase the rate of aerosol cloud deposition in an air medium. The theoretical and experimental studies are oriented to improving the methods of removing harmful aerosol formations in the air space by exposure to external electrostatic fields. This paper describes experimental investigation of coagulation and deposition of aerosol particles by inducing external fields in a closed volume with account for different technical parameters of devices for trapping different kinds of finely divided particles. To obtain the dispersed and concentration characteristics of aerosol, use is made of the method of searching for the solution in the form of a multiparameter function of the size distribution of particles realized as part of a laser measuring complex.
