The precipitator utilizes porous collecting surfaces which permit passage of gas while retaining suspended particles and means are provided to create an electrostatic field causing the particles to migrate toward the collecting surfaces. According to the invention, only a portion of the inlet gas flow to the precipitator, sufficient to provide aerodynamic forces to facilitate adherence of the particles to the collecting surface, is drawn through the porous collecting surfaces with the remainder of the gas flow being essentially parallel to such surfaces. The two gas streams are separately withdrawn and may be combined to provide a clean gas effluent. The invention also provides an improved method for removing suspended particles from gases by electrical precipitation. | |
