Achilles system for filtering smoke emitted from a wood stove chimney
- The smoke emitted from wood stove chimneys is made up of various toxins, including black carbon particles, respiratory particles, and other toxins.
- According to environmental agencies around the world, there are over 100 million active wood stoves and demand is growing.
- 33% of the world's air pollution comes from black carbon - respirable particles - resulting from the use of wood stoves.
To enable high-quality and pleasant heating without air pollution, health hazards, odors or neighbor disputes – we have developed an innovative and groundbreaking system that significantly reduces air pollution from wood stoves.
How does the system work?
- The "Achilles" system easily connects to the chimney of any type of stove and is installed on the roof near the end of the chimney.
- Installation is simple and does not require replacing the existing chimney, so the normal operation of the stove remains uninterrupted.
- From the moment the stove is lit, the system operates automatically, absorbing the smoke and filtering the emitted particles, while separating particles, black carbon, and toxic gases.
- The particles (25-70 kg per season) are washed out of the system using water, which simultaneously cleans the internal components.
- This water can then be discharged into the home sewage system or into the garden.
The advantages of the ACHILLES system
- The system does not require maintenance . (It cleans itself automatically )
- The system requires a simple and one-time installation similar to installing a small home air conditioner.
- The system effectively cleans between 70-90 percent of the emissions of toxins and carbon emitted from the chimney from the moment the stove is turned on until it is turned off.
- The system significantly masks the odors emitted from the chimney.
- The black carbon is emitted from the system through a simple irrigation pipe that descends from the roof to the garden or connects to the sewage system of the house.
- The amount of material emitted varies according to the size of the wood stove and the duration of use. On average, the wood stove will emit between 25 and 75 kg of dry matter (black carbon) per season
