B2B Engineering Desk: Electrostatic Precipitators & Process Air Filtration
CORE TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

Electrostatic & Mechanical Filtration Technology

KUSO AIR engineers high-voltage electrostatic precipitators (ESP) alongside industrial dry cartridge and fabric baghouse filtration systems. Below is an engineering breakdown of our core technologies, operating stages, and comparative selection criteria.

Operational Flow

5-Stage Electrostatic Air Purification Process

Applicability note: This multi-stage sequence specifically outlines the treatment chain within KUSO electrostatic systems (KOF Kitchen ESP, Oil Mist Collectors, and integrated commercial units with optional UV/carbon stages).

01
💨

Inlet Aerodynamic Inflow

Air containing sub-micron oil mist, welding fumes, or kitchen grease enters through perforated flow distribution vanes.

→
02
🔲

Mechanical Pre-Interception

Washable stainless steel or aluminum mesh filters stop coarse droplets, metal chips, and airborne fibers from entering the high-voltage zone.

→
03
⚡

Sawtooth Ionization

Staggered 304 stainless steel jagged pins energized at 12–15 kV create an intense corona field, imparting high-density positive charges.

→
04
🧲

Ground Plate Collection

Charged aerosols are attracted to grounded parallel aluminum collector plates, coalescing and draining into collection sumps.

05
✅

Downstream Deodorization

Optional post-ESP UV photolysis or pelletized activated carbon cells treat residual odor molecules before atmospheric discharge.

High-Voltage Solid-State Platform

Staggered Sawtooth Ionization & PWM Power

Conventional tungsten wires break easily and suffer from rapid oil wrapping that dampens electrostatic corona fields. KUSO's KOF and industrial ESP units utilize 304 stainless steel jagged-tooth ionization plates backed by solid-state PWM constant-current power modules.

  • Zero wire-break downtime and durable structural configuration.
  • Self-regulating high voltage prevents continuous spark flashovers during high humidity loads.
  • Fully washable aviation aluminum collector plates eliminate recurring filter media replacement costs.

Industrial Dry Dust Separation

Torit-Type Downdraft Cartridge Dynamics

For dry process dusts (welding smoke, metallurgical grinding, bulk powders) where electrostatic collection is not suited, KUSO's MLT Series introduces dirty air from the top chamber, allowing airflow and gravity to assist pulse jet dislodgement directly into the hopper.

  • Eliminates upward air resistance during cartridge pulse cycles.
  • Reduces pulse air consumption compared to vertical cartridge arrangements.
  • Horizontal cartridge mounting allows exterior tool-free maintenance without entering dirty air plenum.
VOC & Odor Destruction

Active Oxygen Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP)

Utilizing high-frequency dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) micro-plasma fields, KUSO deodorization equipment excites ambient oxygen into reactive single-atom oxygen species to break down volatile organic bonds.

  • Rapid oxidation of thiol, mercaptan, amine, and styrene odor compounds into trace CO₂ and H₂O.
  • Continuous room or duct disinfection with zero secondary chemical residue.
  • Compact footprint suitable for waste transfer stations, commercial restrooms, and processing plants.
