The invention discloses a novel spray type electrostatic precipitator. The novel spray type electrostatic precipitator comprises a shell, stand columns, an upper bracket, a lower bracket, an air inlet, an air outlet, anode tubes, cathode lines, a high-voltage power source, an ash hopper, spray pipes and cone spray nozzles. The ash hopper is arranged at the lower end of the shell, and a plurality of spray pipes are evenly arranged above the upper bracket. The cone spray nozzles are uniformly arranged below the spray pipes, and the spray pipes communicate with a water supply device. Valves are arranged on communicating pipes of the spray pipes and the water supply device, and the spacing of the cone spray nozzles is equal to the spacing of the spray pipes. The cone spray nozzles are locateddirectly above the anode tubes, and the spraying angle of the cone spray nozzles can be adjusted to 60 degrees, 90 degrees and 120 degrees. The cathode lines are hung on a top plate of the shell through upper hanging pipes, and the spray pipes are arranged away from the upper hanging pipes to ensure a safe discharge distance. A plurality of dust collecting plates are placed in parallel in the shell, and the dust collecting plates are connected with the cathode lines. The novel spray type electrostatic precipitator can reduce the flow rate of gas, reduces the amount of water used for spraying,reduces operating costs, and improves the purification effect.
