Methods and electrostatic precipitators achieve efficient separation. Scrapers are specifically designed to clean the electrodes in the electrostatic precipitators. Particulates are collected from an entrained air stream by keeping both the discharge and collection electrode surfaces clean during the precipitation process so that the electrical corona discharge remains constant and the electrical field flux lines are maintained. This is accomplished using a plurality of vertical disc electrodes and a plurality of horizontal discharge electrodes preferably combined with the ability to keep the electrodes clean during the exhaust process.

An electrostatic precipitator integrated with a double-skin facade of a building, includes: an outer window installed at an outdoor side of the building; an outer upper opening and an outer lower opening installed at upper and lower portions, respectively, of the outer window for indoor ventilation; an inner window providing a hollow layer between the inner window and the outer window by being installed at a room side facing the outer window; an inner upper opening and an inner lower opening installed at upper and lower portions, respectively, of the inner window for ventilation; at least one discharge electrode charging particles introduced into the hollow layer through the outer lower opening by being installed in the hollow layer; and dust collecting electrodes precipitating charged particles by being installed in contact with the hollow layer.
