Abstract: An air-cleaning apparatus is mounted on a wall to collect particulates suspended in the air through electrical control. In the air-cleaning apparatus, a box is mounted on a wall to house therein a dust-collection unit and an air fan such as cross-flow fan for blowing air. The dust-collection unit collects the particulates suspended in the air by imparting a corona electric charge to these particulates, i.e., by rendering them an electrostatic charge. The box of the air-cleaning apparatus is provided with an air outlet in its lower section and also provided with a forward-protruding air duct in its upper section. The forward-protruding air duct is provided with an air inlet in its leading edge portion.

Abstract: A collection device for collecting, under electrical control, particles (10) in an exhaust from a diesel engine is disclosed. The device has a needle electrode (8) having a needle tip (8a) for charging up the particles (10) by creating a corona discharge around the needle tip (8a) collecting electrode (11) for collecting the charged particles (10a) by electrostatic force and a high voltage power source (13) for applying prescribed high voltage between the needle electrode (8) and the collecting electrode (11), the high voltage power source (13) electrically being connected with the needle electrode (8) and the collecting electrode (11).
