Self-cleaning electrostatic precipitator ，Need to install a water heater?

    Many clients wonder whether an ESP electrostatic precipitator with an automatic cleaning function requires the additional installation of a commercial water heater or boiler in the kitchen. The answer is no.

    The DR.AIRE self-cleaning ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator) features an integrated, independent water supply and cleaning system. It connects directly to the commercial kitchen's ambient-temperature tap water and utilizes built-in high-pressure spray components to wash the collector plates. This eliminates the need for boilers or water heaters to supply hot water, thereby saving on the costs of purchasing, installing, and upgrading gas or electrical infrastructure for additional heating equipment. It also removes the requirement for a dedicated boiler room, significantly reducing the scope of kitchen renovation work.

     The system employs an automated, scheduled spray cleaning process to periodically rinse the electrostatic collector plates, dissolving accumulated grease and oil. This reduces the frequency of manual disassembly and cleaning, consistently maintains a 98% purification efficiency, and prevents performance degradation or fire hazards caused by grease buildup on the plates. The combination of cold water spraying and a specialized degreasing agent effectively removes grease deposits, fully meeting operational cleaning requirements.

Of course, if an existing hot water supply is available on-site, connecting it can accelerate the dissolution of grease and oil; while this serves as an optional optimization, it is not a strict requirement. The system is ready for use simply by connecting to a standard tap water supply and a power source, making it suitable for various commercial kitchens, including those in canteens, Chinese restaurants, and food courts. Featuring a modular design, the equipment is easy to install and minimizes the kitchen footprint; it eliminates the administrative burdens associated with boilers—such as annual inspections and safety compliance—while effortlessly meeting environmental emission standards.
