Enter the power consumed by the precipitator (W) and the airflow (CFM) into the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency. 

Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency.

EPS = P / AF

Variables:

  • EPS is the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency (W/CFM)
  • P is the power consumed by the precipitator (W) 
  • AF is the airflow (CFM) 

To calculate the electrostatic precipitator efficiency, divide the power consumed by the precipitator by the airflow.

How to Calculate Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency.


  1. First, determine the power consumed by the precipitator (W). 
  2. Next, determine the airflow (CFM). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = EPS = P / AF.
  4. Finally, calculate the Electrostatic Precipitator Efficiency.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

power consumed by the precipitator (W) = 200

airflow (CFM) = 30

EPS = P / AF = ?
