Abstract
A system is disclosed for removing particles from a gaseous medium and comprises an upstream precipitating stage followed by a downstream precipitating stage having one or more electrically charged shells with corona discharge apparatuses therein which produce ions at predictable, generally uniformly spaced locations. The shells have flat sides and openings at the upstream and downstream ends so as to permit a portion of the gaseous medium to flow through the interior of the shell and flat sides which act as collecting means. The flat sides of the shells are generally parallel to collecting side plates for providing a uniform electric field between the shells and collecting plates, the sides of the shells having openings to permit the passage of ions generated in the interior of the shell.
