In this paper. an experimental study, for method of increasing the efficiency of electrostatic precipitator for the collection of submicron-sized particles has been studied. All AC electric field was used to induce agglomeration of bipolory charged Particles. .4 bipolar AC-agglomeration system. consisted with a multineedle-mesh discharge system with a control grid, was proposed and investigated. Systematic experiments were carried out to investigate the agglomeration ratio of the AC-agglomeration system as a function of the different grid spacings and grid resistances for the submicron particles generated from liquid prorhane gas burning. The agglomeration ratios, which indicate the particle numbers before and after agglomeration of the test particles in number concentration base, were found to be 0.87, 1.80, 3.86, 9.50 and, 11.00 times for the particle sizes of 0.3. 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, and 2.0$mu$m at applied voltage of 3.5kV, respectively which showed that the fine particle numbers were decreased while the larger particle numbers were increase greatly.
