Abstract
A two stage electrostatic precipitator air cleaner having electric field induced airflow. A plurality of spaced parallel fin-like accelerator plates charged to a relatively high negative potential are positioned between the positively charged ionizer wires and the collecting stage of the air cleaner. The electric field induced between the accelerator plates and the ionizer wires induces an airflow for bringing the particles charged by the ionizer wires into proximity with the collecting stage while at the same time charging particles aspirated by the airflow.
