A system and method for extracting and separating botanical oils and compounds from botanical material without the use of solvents, having a vaporizing section which is further coupled to a centrifugal electrostatic precipitator for collection and segregation. The vaporizing section receives the botanical material through which a temperature-controlled inert gas is passed to evaporate specific vaporization temperature oils or compounds from the botanical material. The extracted vapor passes to the centrifugal electrostatic precipitator where the oil or compound is reduced back to the liquid state and is collected and segregated. The oils having the lower vapor temperature are collected first and the remaining oils are collected by specific and progressive vaporization temperature control. In some examples, selected vaporized compounds are waste exhausted as vapor by bypassing the centrifugal electrostatic precipitator at specific known vapor temperatures, thereby eliminating potentially toxic or undesirable oils or compounds from being collected.

An electrocyclonic particle collector (EPC) for removing particulate matter from a gas includes an EPC gas inlet, an EPC gas outlet, and an EPC gas flow path between the EPC gas inlet and the EPC gas outlet. A first section is downstream of the EPC gas inlet and includes a first cyclonic particle collector in the gas flow path for cyclonically removing particles from the gas. A second section is in series with the first section and includes a rotational flow chamber in the gas flow path, and at least a first electrode in the gas flow path for facilitating electrostatic removal of particles from the gas stream in the rotational flow chamber.

An electrostatic filter, for filtering solid and liquid particles in gases composed of a case (3); concentric collectors (15), concentric diffusers (10); electrodes (2); insulated supports (7), distributor disc (8), thermal insulator (17), electrical resistors (4), main collector (9), filter cap (1); the concentric diffusers (10) host along their internal and external wall the electrodes (2); the insulated supports connect the filter cap (1) to the distributor disc (8) which in turn supports the concentric diffusers (10); the electrical resistors (4) are located around the case (3) as clamps and are covered by the thermal insulator (17); so that the gas flows through the filter from the filter inlet (14) located tangentially at the external face of the case (3), towards the insulated outlet (5) located in the central part between the distributor disc (8) and the filter cap (1), thus optimizing the space and surface of the constituent materials and a very high filtration efficiency of liquid and solid micron particles contained in gases at any temperature up to 900 C.

The present invention relates to a dust removal apparatus and, more specifically, to a dust removal apparatus preventing a raw material from absorbing water when coming into contact with the outside air by separating the raw material from dust through an electrical reaction.

A filter for filter air for an internal combustion engine and methods of operation are described herein. The air precleaner is configured to use electrostatic attraction or repulsion to move ionized particles towards an inner wall of the air precleaner, where the particles eventually exit the air precleaner through a particle exhaust. The particles are ionized using a positive charge plate and a negative charge plate. The positive charge plate creates a positive charge field, creating positive ions that ionize particles in the air with a positive charge. The negative charge plate creates a negative charge field, creating negative ions that ionize particles in the air with a negative charge. The air precleaner can also include a cyclonic section that causes the air to rotate about a central axis of the air precleaner, imparting a centripetal force on the particles. The centripetal force and the electrostatic force act together to filter the air.
