Frequently Asked Questions
What is a smoke eater for commercial HVAC, and how does it work?
A commercial smoke eater is an electronic air cleaning device installed in an HVAC system to capture smoke particles, ultrafine pollutants, and airborne contaminants. ECOairflow's units use patented Electronic Polarization Technology (EPT), creating a polarized electromagnetic field across a glass-fiber mesh pad so each fiber acts as a magnet for incoming particles — capturing smoke and particulates as small as 0.001 microns.
What MERV rating do ECOairflow commercial smoke eaters achieve?
ECOairflow's Dynamo 2" Model 2300 achieves MERV 14 powered, while the M-Series 2" Hybrid EAC is available in MERV 13, 14, 15, or 16 configurations. The M-Series maintains its full rated MERV performance whether powered, unpowered, or under ASHRAE Appendix J conditioning — a unique capability critical for healthcare and mission-critical facilities.
Are ECOairflow smoke eaters ozone-safe for occupied commercial spaces?
Yes. All ECOairflow commercial electronic air cleaners are UL 2998 Zero Ozone Certified, emitting less than 0.0005 ppm (5 ppb) of ozone — well below the UL 867 regulatory limit of 0.005 ppm. They are recommended by the US CDC and US EPA for use in occupied buildings including hospital ORs, classrooms, offices, and retail spaces.
How does the pressure drop of ECOairflow smoke eaters compare to traditional filters?
ECOairflow's Dynamo 2" Model 2300 delivers a pressure drop of just 0.13 in.w.c. at 300 FPM, compared to 0.6–1.2 in.w.g. for traditional hospital MERV 8 + MERV 14 bag filter trains. This dramatically lower resistance reduces fan energy load and extends HVAC equipment life, directly supporting ASHRAE 90.1 fan-power compliance.
What green building certifications do ECOairflow commercial air cleaners support?
ECOairflow commercial smoke eaters support LEED EQ credits, WELL Building Standard, International Living Future Institute (ILFI), National Green Building Standard (NGBS), and Passivehaus certification. They also comply with ASHRAE 62.1 (2022) IAQ Procedure, ASHRAE 90.1 fan-power limitation, and ASHRAE 241 (2023) infection-control filtration requirements.
Can ECOairflow air cleaners be used in hospitals and healthcare facilities?
Yes. The M-Series 2" Hybrid EAC is ASHRAE 170 and CSA Z317.2 compliant for hospital emergency rooms (MERV 14A), operating rooms, and high-acuity procedural spaces (MERV 16A). It is also ASHRAE 241 (2023) infection-control compliant, Appendix J certified, and exceeds ASHRAE 170 emission standards for both ozone and formaldehyde.
How often do the filter pads need to be replaced in commercial applications?
In typical commercial applications, ECOairflow glass-fiber mesh pads are replaced approximately every 3–6 months, though replacement frequency varies with air quality conditions and face velocity. The permanent aluminum frame is a one-time capital investment — only the low-cost replaceable pad requires periodic maintenance, significantly reducing total lifecycle cost compared to pleated or bag filter systems.
