The annual power consumption depends heavily on how the woodburning stove is used. On average, the dust collector uses about 30 watts per hour in operation and about two watts per hour in standby mode. This is about the same as a modern flat screen TV. The vacuum cleaner operates at high voltage, usually between […]
In principle, the separation of particles is silent, but there are operational noises. If the vacuum cleaner has an automatic cleaning system, you can usually hear the cleaning process. Some units ‘shake’ for a few seconds every few hours during operation as standard. The closer you are to the separator, the clearer you will hear […]
Yes, the Electrostatic Dust Collector requires electricity to operate. However, a simple 230 volt household socket, which is often already available in the loft, is sufficient. Otherwise, a specialist electrician can usually install a suitable socket or cable quickly and easily. Be sure to discuss this in advance with the company installing the extractor.
Electrostatic precipitators are usually installed by companies specialising in chimney construction. A list of companies is provided by the German Chimney Contractors’ Association (Fachverband Schornsteintechnik e.V.). Some stove builders also offer installation services; specialised companies can be found among the members of the Gesamtverband Ofenbau e.V. (GVOB). Your chimney sweep may also be the person […]
In principle, any woodburning stove can be retrofitted with an electrostatic dust collector. In principle, an electrostatic filter can be installed anywhere between the stove and the chimney outlet. Retrofit solutions for existing woodburning and tiled stoves are usually installed on the chimney or in the last section of the chimney. If the woodburning or […]
Dust collectors are currently relatively expensive because they are not produced in large quantities. We know from other areas of technology, such as the automotive industry, that unit prices fall rapidly once they are in mass production. Also, unlike biomass boilers, there is currently no subsidy for electrostatic precipitators for wood-burning or tiled stoves (from […]
In principle, any type of chimney suitable for a wood-burning stove can be fitted with a dust collector, whether it is made of metal, concrete or brick. It is important that the chimney is in good condition and structurally suitable for the installation or construction of a dust collector. In some cases, a chimney renovation […]
It is difficult to give a general answer as the installation of the collector is very individual. For example, the total cost depends on where the collector is installed, how accessible the installation site is, and whether other work is required, such as a chimney renovation (which is usually overdue anyway) or the installation of […]
