In this paper the electrohydrodynamic (EHD)device for gas pumping and cleaning is presented. To induce an airflow in this EHD device corona discharge was used. The discharge was generated between the one-sided spike electrodes and the plate electrodes. An asymmetric electric field and generated discharge result in unidirectional gas flow through the EHD device. The current-voltage characteristics were measured and the corona discharge power was calculated. The EHDsecondary flow and the average airflow induced in the device duct were measured using 2D PIV method. Obtained results showed that investigated EHD device was capable of producing significant unidirectional airflow with velocities up to 0.64 m/s.
