Cooking is a great pleasure, but vapors, grease and odors are always very unpleasant.
The most commonly used kitchen solutions are hoods with an outdoor vent or recirculating hoods. With outdoor vents, in addition to odors, the hood extracts hot air from the kitchen during the winter and cool air during the summer, thus increasing heating and air conditioning costs. Recirculating hoods with activated carbon filters also have limited odor elimination efficiency, and maintenance costs are high because the activated carbon filters need to be replaced frequently.
At Frasa, we're constantly searching for a technological solution that allows us to work in an odor-free environment and is a pioneer in air filtration. In this constant search for innovation in the market, natural AIR emerges as an advanced solution to eliminate the traditional problems of odors and impurities in the kitchen.
What is natural AIR?
Natural AIR is an advanced air purification technology that uses an ionized gas composed of a mixture of electrons and ions. Unlike traditional filtration methods like activated carbon, Natural AIR creates a "cold combustion," breaking down germ molecules, odors , and allergens at the molecular level, resulting in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
The basic principle is simple: supply sufficient thermal energy to air molecules, dissociating them and ionizing atoms and molecules. This process makes the air cleaner and free of unwanted impurities such as bacteria, viruses, and allergens.
How does natural AIR work?
In range hoods that use natural AIR , kitchen air first passes through a grease filter, where larger particles are trapped. The filtered air then enters the natural AIR filter, where pollutants are oxidized. The result is clean, odor-free air with an elimination efficiency of up to 95%. This process not only removes odors but also eliminates germs and allergens, creating a healthier environment.
One of the great advantages of this technology is that the system does not require maintenance or filter replacement for 10 years, unlike activated carbon filters, which need to be changed every 3 or 4 months.
Check out the 7 advantages of recirculation exhaust using natural AIR technology:
- Aesthetic design - Eliminating the need for external chimneys provides a cleaner, more modern look for kitchens.
- Savings on installation costs – Exhaust fans with AIR natural recirculation technology do not require additional works or costs for installing outlet ducts.
- Energy cost savings - By avoiding the release of hot air in winter and cool air in summer, heating and cooling costs are lower, offering significant savings throughout the year.
- 95% odor removal efficiency - While activated carbon filters only remove between 50 and 60% of odors, plasma filters reach 95%, providing much purer air.
- Eliminates 99.9% of viruses and bacteria - In addition to eliminating odors, AIR natural plasma technology is extremely effective against viruses, germs, and allergens, something traditional filters cannot do.
- 10-year durability - Natural AIR lasts up to 10 years, without the need for replacement or maintenance, which reduces costs and inconvenience for the customer.
- Constant - Unlike carbon filters, whose efficiency degrades after use sessions, plasma technology maintains its 95% effectiveness for many years (10-year warranty).
