Describes a new, patented turbulent flow precipitator process that takes advantage of turbulent velocity fluctuations, or eddies, to carry micron and submicron-size particles from turbulent dust flow into narrow and deep spaces lying alongside the turbulent gas, where the particles are deposited on the collector surfaces. Presents and discusses test results with three different types of process. For two types the collection efficiencies based on weight of dust collected were between 80% and 90% and for the third type average dust arrestance was 96%.
