Different to the majority of mechanical filters that simply capture la rge airborne particles, ZEPPELIN
electronic purifiers attract and retain pollutants like strong magnets. Millions of dust, smoke and pollen
particles travel through the air towards the purifier.
The electrostatic precipitator filters are based on the fact that electrically charged particles that are subject to
an electric field are attracted towards the electrodes that create such field and deposited upon them.
ELECTROSTATIC FILTER
PERFORMING SCHEME
The separation of the particles that are suspended in the air requires three fundamental stages:
1) The ionization of the particles that are suspended in air is achieved by making them pass through a system
of electrodes constructed with strings of tungsten that is 0.2 mm of Ø and aluminium plates.
2) Capture of particles: once the charged particles pass through an electrostatic field, created by aluminium
plates that are connected alternately to different potentials, they move towards the electrodes where they are
deposited. In the case of liquid drops, coalescence is produced and the liquid film slides through the length of
the aluminium plates.
The efficie ncy of this type of filter is related to the passing velocity of the contaminated air. If velocity of
contaminated air in the first stage is high, the ionization process becomes difficult and some particles may
not be ionized. In the second stage, that velocity makes it so that the inertia of the ion cannot be counter-
buffed by the force of the electrostatic field and the ion will not be retained in the collection plates.
The migration velocity, that is to say, the velocity with which the ion is directed toward the collection plates
depends on the force of the electric field. Because of this, it is important to work at the maximum voltage of
the electrode. Although, there is a moment in which the voltage should not be increased because frequent
discharges between the plates can be produced making the precipitator non-efficient.
Taking in consideration that the velocity of the migration increases with the size of the particles, some could
think that the efficiency would be reduced for small particles, but in practice this reduction is not remarkable.
Other variables that affect the process of electrostatic precipitation are the viscosity of the particles that may
produce a decrease of efficiency. The efficiency increases when the air temperature decreases.

BASE DESIGN
For a correct dimensioning of our equipment, we start from the following formulas of electrostatic
precipitation,
F = q ⋅Eρ
Where: F = force.
q = charge upon particle.
Eρ = force of electric field.
q = ρ ⋅Ec ⋅a2
F = ρ ⋅ Ec ⋅ E ρ ⋅ a 2
F = 6π ⋅ d ⋅ µ ⋅ ω
Therefore,
ρ ⋅ Ec ⋅ Eρ ⋅ a
ω=
6⋅π⋅µ

Its usage in hospitals is considered of vital importance. It should be
used as a pre-filter to the absolute filters to extend their duration.
These absolute filters, as we know, are not able to regenerate. Used as
a post-filter to the absolute filters, we can guarantee the destruction of
all micro-organisms.

INDUSTRIAL ELECTROSTATIC FILTERS
In every industrial process, for instance, cooking of food in bars and restaurants, it is generated a series of
sub-products that have been proven to be harmful to our health and well-being, besides they deteriorate the
atmosphere as well. These filters are created to palliate these effects.
We have created two versions of these filters to be used depending on the amount of contamination. The
difference between them lies in the width of the collecting plate. The normal version is a plate that has a
width of 200 mm. and it is named with initials AV. The special version is a plate that has a width of 250
mm. and it is known with the initials AVL.
The dimensions of the filtration units, as well as the capacity of the power equipment, let us to offer these
two versions with double ionizing cells.
The standard presentation of this equipment is done with RAL-9002 textured paint. It is constructed with a
metal sheet 1.5 mm. thick.

Due to its zigzag disposition, the velocity of the contaminated air as it passes through the filters is about 0.35
