Electronic Smoke Eater Secrets Are Uncovered. Industry Experts Verify Their Truths.

According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) standards, an electronic smoke eater is one of the most effective filter technologies. Electronic smoke eaters use a process called electrostatic precipitation to remove smoke particles from the air. Electronic smoke eaters ionize the air with a positive electrostatic charge. This captures smoke , fumes and dust particles into the incoming airstream and collected on a series of metal plates. Usually, electronic smoke eaters also use carbon and some other form of media filter to trap odor and larger particles. Ultraviolet filters can also be used in electronic smoke eaters.

SmokeEaters.org has collaborated with the big names in the electronic smoke eater industry to bring you their own personal reviews and opinions and make a helpful chart. With all of these resources at your fingertips, there won't be much grunt work to do before finding the right electronic smoke eater for you.

Electrostatic precipitation works like a magnet does with metal shards. The magnet is charged one way and the metal shards oppositely, so they stick together. The same is with electrostatic precipitation. The electrostatic precipitator plates are charged alternately (positive, negative, positive, etc..) and attract the particles to them. The trapped particles remain there until you simply wipe off the metal plates and reuse them. Simple, huh?
