Diesel engines emit fine particles, which are harmful to human and animal health. There are several methods for decrease particulate emission from a diesel engines, but up to now, these methods are not enough effective or very expensive. An electrostatic precipitation was proposed as an alternative method for control of a diesel particulate emission. Therefore, narrow electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) have become a subject of interest because of their possible application for a particle removal from diesel engines exhaust gases.In this paper, results of the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) flow patterns in circular and rectangular narrow ESPs with longitudinally-to-flow wire electrode are presented. The EHD secondary flow was measured using 2-dimensional particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. Moreover, results of the collection efficiency measurements of submicron particles are shown.
