ABSTRACT:
An emission control device and method are provided for treating exhaust gases to reduce gaseous pollutants contained therein. The device includes a treatment chamber through which the exhaust gases pass. First and second metal screens are disposed within the chamber a predetermined distance from each other. AC voltage is supplied to adjacent the first screen with, for example, an electrode device. A timing circuit is provided for pulsing the AC voltage at a predetermined pulse rate. A temperature sensitive device may be interfaced with the treatment chamber and timing circuit so that the pulsed voltage is only supplied to the screen within a predetermined temperature range.
