The Catalysis

LAMPE BERGER undertakes constant research to improve the performance of its products. Its work concerns catalysis, i.e. the Lampe Berger operating system, the catalyst, the catalysis medium, the home fragrances, which feed the combustion and the lamps.
Lampe Berger has committed to the A.I.S.E industry initiative Air Fresheners Stewardship Programme www.aise.eu/airfresheners.

Catalysis
Catalytic combustion is a flameless combustion, which takes place because of the action of a catalyst.

Generally a catalytic system is made up of: 
• a porous medium  which must have the largest possible specific surface, because the reaction takes place at the interface between the gaseous fluid and the solid.
• an active phase, generally a metal or an oxide which provides active sites, where the chemical reaction takes place.

The catalytic medium chosen by LAMPE BERGER is the ceramic in the AIR PUR System 3C® burner. It is the result of several years of research. Its regular, constant porosity plays an important part in ensuring  efficient cleansing of the air and the quality of the diffusion of the home fragrances.

1. The catalyst chosen by LAMPE BERGER  is a precious metal : platinum. It is present on the outer part of the burner.

The ceramic medium, equipped with the catalyst or catalytic burner, will make cleaning of the air in the home and destruction of odors possible.
