Abstract

A rigid discharge electrode (2) intended for use in an electrostatic precipitator which, in addition to the discharge electrode, also includes one or more collector electrodes. A voltage source is provided for supplying energy to the discharge and collector electrodes, so as to create therebetween a high d.c. voltage and an electric field, causing dust to be separated from a dust-laden medium passing between the electrodes, this separated dust settling primarily on the collector electrodes. The discharge electrode comprises a rod-like member (10) having attached therealong a plurality of electrode parts (17,18) presenting one or more discharge tips. The electrode parts extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rod-like member and project beyond the outer defining surfaces thereof. The rod-like member (10) presents two mutually opposite and mutually parallel surfaces (19,19'), and elonagated electrode parts (17,18) presenting discharge tips (17a,17b) are attached to or fitted on these surfaces.
