The invention relates to a multifunctional electrostatic precipitator, which includes an upper end plate, a lower end plate, a left insulating plate and a right insulating plate. High voltage plates, dust collecting plates, and tungsten wires are alternately arranged between the upper end plate and the lower end plate. 2 conductive shrapnels are mounted on the left insulating plate or the right insulating plate, and respectively connected to the high voltage plates and the tungsten wires. A high voltage insulating layer and a dust collecting insulating layer are respectively disposed on the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates by plastic coating. The alternating space L between the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates is 2-3mm, the width L1 of the high voltage plates is identical to L2 of the dust collecting plates, i.e. 110.5mm. According to the scheme involved in the invention, the high voltage insulating layer and the dust collecting insulating layer are respectively disposed on the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates by plastic coating to reduce electric discharge between the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates and reduce the ozone generation probability, so that the space between the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates can be reduced, the density of the dust collecting plates can be increased, and the dust holding capacity is also increased. Also, the width of the high voltage plates and the dust collecting plates is increased from the existing 80mm to 110.5mm, so that dust is difficult to escape, and the dust removal effect is improved.
