An electrode arrangement for creation of a corona. The arrangement includes a corona driving portion and a corona emitting portion in electrical contact with the corona driving portion. The corona driving portion is much larger in size than the corona emitting portion such that corona from the electrode arrangement is emitted essentially from the corona emitting element in a direction away from the corona driving element. In the illustrated embodiments of the invention, the corona driving element comprises a rod with a chain-like corona emitting element suspended adjacent to the rod. In another embodiment of the invention, the corona driving element comprises a flat disc and the corona emitting element comprises a tapered ring at the outer circumference of the disc.
