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 […]

Dust Collector FAQs: Does the type of chimney matter when installing an electrostatic dust collector?

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 […]

Dust Collector FAQs: How does an electrostatic filter work?

The principle is similar to rubbing a balloon against your sweater. This creates an electric field that can make your hair stand on end. The electrostatic filter also creates a magnetic field with voltage, which it uses to charge the dust particles. The charged particles then stick to the wall of the chimney and clump […]

Frequently Asked Questions: Where can I buy an electrostatic filter?

You can buy an electrostatic filter from a stove builder, stove dealer or specialist dealer. The addresses of stove builders can be found on the Gesamtverband Ofenbau e.V. GVOB website at https://www.kachelofenwelt.de/service/kachelofenbauer-adressen/. It is important that the dealer also offers advice or carries out the installation. The more specialised a dealer is in fireplaces and […]

Dust Collector FAQs: What are the legal benefits of installing an electrostatic precipitator?

The Federal Immission Control Act and the 1st BImSchV Ordinance for stoves and tiled stoves stipulate that appliances tested between 1 January 1995 and 21 March 2010 must emit a maximum of 4 grams of carbon monoxide per cubic metre of flue gas and a maximum of 0.15 grams of particulate matter per cubic metre […]
