Description: An electrostatic precipitator used in conjunction with a recirculation duct was developed to remove airborne swine dust within an environmental chamber. The collection efficiency of the electrostatic precipitator was evaluated by varying applied voltage and airspeed levels. The three applied voltage levels were: -10.3, -11.0 and, -12.1 kVDC. The three airspeed levels were 0.55, 0.76, and 0.95 m?s" . The overall collection efficiency of the precipitator ranged from 18.5% at an applied voltage of -10.3 kVDC to 96.4% at an appliedvoltageof-12.1 kVDC. Applied voltagehad a significant effect (P < 0.05) on collection efficiency. Airspeed did not have a significant effect (P < 0.05) on collection efficiency. However, re moval efficiency was highest at 0.76 m?s"' for all applied voltages. An applied voltage of -12.1 kVDC produced ozone levels of 0.21 ppm which exceeded the recommended TLV of 0.1 ppm.
