In this paper two electrohydrodynamic (EHD) devices for gas pumping and cleaning are presented. In both cases to induce an airflow in these EHD devices corona discharge was used. The discharge was generated between the spiked electrodes set parallel (the first case) or in series (the second case) and the plate electrodes. An asymmetric electric field and generated discharge result in unidirectional gas flow through the EHD device. The EHD secondary flow and the average airflow induced in the device duct weremeasured using 2-D PIV method. Obtained results showed that investigated EHD devices were capable of producing significant unidirectional airflow with velocity up to 0.6 m/s.
