Abstract
The invention provides an electrostatic particle filter in the case of which the collecting electrode is structured in order to make possible a reliable separation of the particles from the gases. The collecting electrode is so designed that a number of windshadow areas formed by spaces are provided in which the electrostatically attracted particles are able to be trapped without being entrained by the main current. A powerful corona discharge ensures simultaneous oxidation of combustible particles if the gas current contains oxygen.
