Dust Collector FAQs: What is particulate matter?

Particulate matter consists of tiny particles in the air that are produced by natural processes and human activities and can be inhaled. Particulate matter from wood-burning appliances, such as fireplaces and tiled stoves, is of particular concern.The burning of wood produces particles and gases that form particulate matter. Depending on their size, these particles can […]

Dust filter FAQs: Does the chimney sweep need to clean systems with dust collectors more often?

No. If the chimney is cleaned as recommended every heating season, this should be sufficient in most cases.In fact, the use of a dust extractor does not affect the frequency of cleaning, but the intensity of cleaning.The amount of ash will increase significantly – this amount has simply been blown through the chimney without a […]

Dust Collector FAQs: Can the chimney sweep continue to clean the flue as normal?

Even with a dust collector, the chimney can still be cleaned normally and regularly without much effort.The chimney sweep can either clean from the bottom or, if there is a cleaning opening, from the top.In most cases, this opening can also be retrofitted with an adapter, for example for dust extractors on the roof. To […]

Dust Collector FAQs: Does an electrostatic filter need to be cleaned?

Some electrostatic dust extractors have an automatic cleaning function. A shaking mechanism ensures that the trapped particles fall back down the chimney as ash. However, all electrostatic dust extractors need to be cleaned manually on a regular basis. It is usually sufficient to open the collector and quickly clean the electrode and other components, for […]

Dust Collector FAQs: Can the oven be operated with the separator switched off, e.g. in the event of a power failure?

No, but there can be positive effects. For example, if the separator has a chimney fan, the draught is optimised and the stove burns more efficiently. You need less wood to produce the same amount of heat.

Dust extractor FAQs: Do I need a power supply?

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.

Dust Collector FAQs: What is the price trend for dust collectors?

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 […]
