An electrostatic air cleaner is a device that removes polluting particulates, thus
purifying air. As an example, contaminated air carrying a particulate, with a mass
of 3.15 ´ 10-9 kg, will first pass through a charging grid, removing an electron and
charging the particulate with a +1 charge. These positive particulates are then
removed by being attracted to the negative grid and remaining on the grid as the
rest of the clean air passes through.
