Abstract
A method of cleaning at least one collecting electrode of an electrostatic precipitator includes applying, in a first mode of operation, a first average current between at least one discharge electrode and at least one collecting electrode, and switching from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in which a second average current is applied between the at least one discharge electrode and the at least one collecting electrode, the second average current being a factor of at least 3 higher than the first average current, to achieve a forced cleaning of the at least one collecting electrode.
