LoCO2 Heat will soon be offering Electrostatic filters for stoves. Below is more detail on the product and why they are beneficial.

An electrostatic filter, also known as an electrostatic precipitator (ESP), is a type of air filtration device that utilises static electricity to remove particulate matter, such as dust, smoke, and soot, from exhaust gases. They are highly effective in capturing even the smallest particles, making them a valuable addition to various industrial and commercial applications, including wood-burning stoves.

In the context of wood-burning stoves, electrostatic filters are used to reduce emissions and improve the overall efficiency of the stove by capturing and eliminating harmful particles produced during the combustion process. Here's how they work:

Ionisation: As the exhaust gases from the wood-burning stove pass through the electrostatic filter, they encounter a series of electrically charged plates or wires. These charged components create an electric field, which imparts a positive or negative charge to the particles within the flue gas.
Collection: The charged particles are then drawn towards a set of oppositely charged collection plates, where they adhere due to the electrostatic attraction. This process effectively removes the particles from the flue gas, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere.
Cleaning: Over time, the collection plates will accumulate a layer of particles that must be removed to maintain the filter's efficiency. Many electrostatic filters feature a self-cleaning mechanism that periodically dislodges the particles from the collection plates, which can then be easily removed and disposed of. In some cases, manual cleaning may be required.

When used with wood-burning stoves, electrostatic filters can offer several benefits:

Reduced emissions: By capturing and eliminating harmful particles, such as soot and ash, electrostatic filters can significantly decrease the emissions produced by wood-burning stoves. This results in cleaner air and a healthier environment.
Compliance with environmental regulations: Many countries have implemented strict regulations on emissions from wood-burning stoves. Installing an electrostatic filter can help ensure compliance with these regulations.

Overall, incorporating an electrostatic filter into the flue system of a wood-burning stove can greatly improve its environmental impact, making it an essential component for eco-conscious homeowners.
