Diameter Characteristics of Particulate Matter Indoor Air Pollution in Food Storage by Electrostatic Precipitator

Abstract

The objective of research is investigation on reduce of smoke/dust on the food storage room using electrostatic precipitation (ESP) filter. The filter of ESP is a technic of filtration device that removes fine particles gas using the force of an induced electrostatic charge and corona discharge produced by DC high voltage. The experimental research is conducted with the ESP Filter and smoke chamber.  Artificial smoke was injected in the chamber and ESP charges the particle by corona discharge that applied to reduce diameter of particulate matter (PM). The variable of DC high voltage, type of material and distance between plate are also investigated. From the result obtained, it can be observed that the cooper plate with 15 mm and 7500 DC Voltage was effective reduce of diameter of PM
