Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0030321A1] 1. A process for optimizing the expenditure of energy in an installation consisting of a plurality of electrostatic filters, characterized in that the electric energy levels (E1, E2) fed to the individual electrostatic filters (1, 2, 3) are iteratively automatically changed in such manner that the total energy sum (sigma E) tends towards a minimum for a given dust charge (Ds ) at the output of the installation.
