  • Abstract
    In electrostatic precipitation of high-resistivity dust, the voltage drop across the collected layer of dust on the large electrodes may be high enough to cause electrical breakdown. This and other troubles usually can be eliminated by operating at a higher relative humidity or by liberal use of adhesives.
