White, H J

An essay on the art and science of electrostatic precipitation was presented by Harry J. White in November 1982 at a symposium in Tokyo for the Institute of Electrostatics Japan. The paper is written in a philosophic rather than a scientific vein in order to express a personal viewpoint distilled over many years on the subject. In examining the roles of art and science in electrostatic precipitation it has been shown how both are operative and essential. The long-term trend is for less dependence on the art phase, and more on the science. But there is no indication that art and intuition will not continue to be very important. This is especially true in precipitator design which even today is almost as much an art as it is a science.
