Abstract

A wetted parallel plate collecting electrode arrangement which increases the maximum electric field intensity possible without having water draining off the lower edges of the collecting electrodes forming small droplets which are accelerated towards the opposite electrodes. An electrically conductive partition plate maintained at a voltage intermediate the voltages on the electrodes is disposed between the lower edges of oppositely charged electrodes and extends above and below the lower edges of the electrodes. Preferably, the partition plate is electrically "floating" and receives its voltage due to the effects of the electric field between the collecting electrodes.
