The purpose of this study was to investigate the collection characteristics of nanoparticles emitted from a diesel engine in an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). The experimental system consisted of a diesel engine (400 cc) and an ESP; residual fuel oil and light fuel oil were used for the engine. Although, the peak value of distribution decreased as the applied voltage increased due to the electrostatic precipitation effect, the particle concentration, at a size of approximately 20 nm, increased compared with that at 0 kV, in the exhaust gas, from the diesel engine with residual fuel oil. However, the efficiency increased by optimizing the applied voltage, and the total collection efficiency in the exhaust gas, using the residual fuel oil, was 91%. On the other hand, the particle concentration, for particle diameters smaller than 20 nm, did not increase in the exhaust gas from the engine with light fuel oil.
