Patent ID: 7267711

Claim:
An electrostatic precipitator for Diesel blowby filtration comprising, first and second separable shielded housings, a high voltage electrode in the first housing, the first housing having a connection for incoming gas and an outlet for gas that has passed by the high voltage electrode, a high voltage power supply in the second housing and having a low voltage input line connectable from an external low-voltage source, the high voltage power supply including a circuit generating an output of a substantially higher voltage than the low voltage source, the high voltage power supply including circuitry to limit output current in the event of an arc, and circuitry to reduce emission of electromagnetic radiation that can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment nearby, and a separable connector between the high voltage electrode and an output of the high voltage power supply such that when the two housings are brought together, the high voltage electrode and the separable connector become electrically connected, and become disconnected when the first and second housings are separated.
