An experimental study on the characteristics of collection efficiency for electrostatic precipitator under the action of acoustic energy in the gas stream was performed. In the experiment, the acoustic energy which has 2 kHz and 141 dB was applied to electrostatic precipitator inlet, and the test parameters were used in terms of the magnitude of gas velocity. From the results of experiment, the collection efficiency of ESP was increased due to acoustic energy, and this effect was much clearer at high velocity. This means that the acoustic energy can play an important role in the enlargement of specific collection area of the electrostatic precipitator.
