Electrostatic smoke precipitator Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-ES-12919
The Electrostatic Smoke Precipitator operates by mimicking the industrial gas cleaning processes found in modern power plants. Smoke is introduced into a transparent cylindrical chamber containing a central discharge electrode and a grounded collection cylinder. When connected to a high-voltage power supply, the intense electric field ionizes the air, charging the smoke particles and driving them to the collection walls, instantly clearing the chamber.
Constructed with durable, highly transparent acrylic and corrosion-resistant metallic electrodes, this model is built for repeated classroom use. It offers a highly visual, immediate result that bridges theoretical physics concepts with real-world environmental engineering applications, making it an essential addition to any physics lab apparatus collection.
Key Features
Transparent Acrylic Chamber: Offers a 360-degree unobstructed view of the smoke precipitation process for classroom demonstrations.

How to Use the Electrostatic Smoke Precipitator
Setup: Place the apparatus on a dry, non-conductive lab bench.
Connection: Connect the central electrode terminal to the positive outlet and the outer cylinder terminal to the negative/ground outlet of a high-voltage power supply. Do not turn the power on yet.
Generate Smoke: Light a piece of incense or a small piece of paper in the combustion spoon and insert it into the base of the chamber until the cylinder fills with opaque smoke.
Activate: Turn on the power supply and slowly increase the voltage to approximately 3–4 kV.
Observe: Watch as the smoke particles are ionized, driven to the cylinder walls, and the air rapidly clears.
Power Down: Turn the voltage to zero, switch off the power supply, and disconnect the cables before touching the apparatus.
Safety Note: This apparatus requires high voltage (EHT) to function. Only operate under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Never touch the exposed terminals or open the chamber while the power supply is active.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning the Cylinder: After multiple uses, carbon soot will accumulate on the inner walls. Wipe the interior gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.
Electrode Care: Ensure the central discharge wire remains straight and centered; a bent wire can cause arcing and reduce efficiency.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment. Moisture on the acrylic can create conductive paths that interfere with the electrostatic field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electrostatic smoke precipitator used for?
An electrostatic smoke precipitator is used in science labs to demonstrate how industrial exhaust systems remove fine particulate matter (like smoke and dust) from the air using high-voltage electrical fields.
What voltage is required to operate this model?
This demonstration model typically requires an external Extra High Tension (EHT) direct current power supply capable of generating between 3,000 to 5,000 volts (3–5 kV) for effective ionization.
Is it safe for high school classroom use?
Yes, it is safe for high school use when operated by a qualified teacher. The unit features insulated safety sockets, though standard high-voltage lab safety protocols must always be followed.
What material is the clear chamber made of?
The transparent chamber is manufactured from high-grade, durable acrylic, providing a clear, shatter-resistant viewing area for students.
Can we use normal paper to generate smoke?
Yes, smoldering paper, string, or commercial incense sticks can be used in the provided combustion spoon to safely generate the necessary smoke for the demonstration.
