It is designed to handle a maximum flow rate of 620 m³/h, with optimal efficiency around 475 m³/h. A lower flow rate does not compromise its performance and avoids excessive back pressure, ensuring both good filtration and increased longevity of the filter.
- What extractor airflow should be associated with this 160mm carbon filter to optimize filtration without pressure loss?
To optimize filtration with the Prima Klima carbon filter Ø160 mm - L40 cm (max capacity 620 m³/h), you should pair it with an extractor that has a nominal airflow close to 600 m³/h. This helps avoid excessive pressure loss and ensures effective filtration without overloading the filter.
An extractor significantly exceeding this airflow, such as an 800 m³/h model, could decrease the filter's performance and increase noise. Therefore, the best compromise is an extractor suitable for the 160 mm diameter with an airflow equal to or slightly below 620 m³/h.
- compatible with 160mm standard extractors for optimal performance?
The filter Prima Klima Ø160mm - L40cm - Carbon filter - Max 620m³/h is perfectly compatible with standard 160 mm diameter exhaust fans. This diameter is a common standard, ensuring optimal sealing and maximum performance between the filter and the extractor. By combining this filter with a Ø160 mm extractor, you benefit from guaranteed efficiency for air treatment and circulation in your setup.
- What is the pressure drop level (in Pa) on a 160mm extractor actually capable of pushing 620m3/h with this 40cm Prima Klima charcoal filter?
The pressure drop level (head loss) on a 160 mm extractor capable of pushing 620 m³/h with the Prima Klima charcoal filter Ø160 mm - L40 cm is approximately 150 Pa. This value represents the resistance the filter induces at this flow rate, which is standard for this size and length of filter.
To ensure proper operation and maintain optimal flow, it is recommended to use an extractor that can provide a static pressure of at least 150 Pa to compensate for this loss and thus ensure effective and durable filtration.
- What ventilation power do you recommend to optimize the efficiency of the Prima Klima filter Ø160mm 620m3h without exceeding its maximum capacity and limiting pressure loss?
To optimize the efficiency of the Prima Klima carbon filter Ø160mm - L40cm - Max 620m³/h without exceeding its capacity or significantly losing pressure, we recommend a fan with a nominal flow rate between 600 and 680 m³/h. Indeed, while the filter supports up to 620 m³/h, the resistance generated causes a drop in effective flow between 430 and 500 m³/h.
It is therefore essential to choose a robust extractor capable of providing this power while maintaining sufficient static pressure to overcome the pressure drop of the filter. For example, a Prima Klima inline fan Ø160mm with a maximum flow rate around 680 m³/h guarantees an ideal balance between performance and filter longevity.
Finally, a careful installation (with suitable ducts and sealing) as well as regular maintenance of the filter (changing the activated carbon every 6 to 12 months depending on usage) are essential to maintain this optimal efficiency over time.
- What is the pressure drop in Pa measured with a calibrated extractor at 600m³/h on this Prima Klima Ø160mm L40cm filter to optimize airflow efficiency without excessive loss?
The charcoal filter Prima Klima Ø160mm - L40cm is designed for a maximum flow rate of 620 m³/h, with optimal efficiency around 475 m³/h. At a flow rate of 600 m³/h, we are close to its maximum capacity, which results in an estimated pressure drop of 100 to 150 Pa. This range is typical for this type of filter and allows a good compromise between effective filtration and airflow.
To optimize performance without excessive loss, it is advisable to set the extractor a bit below 620 m³/h, ideally towards 475 m³/h. This reduces back pressure, prolongs the filter's lifespan, and maintains good air quality.
