We use I mm plane to plane configurations, with or without dielectric barriers, on metallic electrodes to investigate the ac electric precipitation of charged submicronic particles of controlled electrical mobility injected in a laminar flow. The collection efficiency is calculated from concentration measurements for different voltages. Below the air ionization threshold, experimental and theoretical collection efficiencies are consistent. Above the air ionization threshold, the current and collection efficiency increase with frequency and voltage related to the number of microdischarges per second and per unit surface area. This study intends to study the influence of surface polarization due to the development of microdischarges on the collection of charged particles. Comparison between the theory of collection in a homogeneous ac field without microdischarge, on the one hand, and measured collection efficiency with microdischarges, on the other hand, proves that surface polarization by microdischarges does not improve the collection efficiency, but enables either an increase of charge by ion repulsion from the surface, whatever the frequency is, or an improved mixing at 60 kHz.
