Good - Better - Best​

Recirculation

 

The most important task for an extractor hood is to ensure that grease and odors from cooking are effectively removed from the kitchen. This is traditionally done with the help of flues to the open air. It is typically with the help of flex hoses that the hood transports the air out to a roof hood or a grate in the wall. But it can be difficult and expensive to establish a hole in the roof or wall. And in some homes it is not an option at all. Here you can choose a recirculation solution.

With recirculation, the purified air is sent back into the kitchen. This is traditionally done using a carbon filter which is mounted inside the hood. The food dose is first sucked through the hood's grease filter, as with normal extraction, where all the grease particles are filtered out.

And then the air is sent through the carbon filter, which, with the help of the active carbon inside the filter, binds the smell to the filter. And then the cleaned air is led out into the kitchen again.

This is done using different methods, depending on the type of hood the carbon filter is installed in. In the case of wall-hung hoods, there are usually grooves in the hood's chimney - via these the air is returned to the kitchen.

New construction of passive and low-energy houses

In the case of newly built passive and low-energy houses, it is extra advantageous to have recirculation, as a large amount of heated air is led out of the house with a traditional flue. This will naturally affect the energy balance negatively, as you subsequently have to reheat a corresponding amount of air.

 

For the same reason, recirculation is used to an increasing extent in these homes, as the requirements to lower energy consumption in the building regulations are continuously tightened. In addition, ventilation systems are always installed in newly built houses, which means that the moisture from cooking is removed via the heat recovery system.


 

There are hundreds of designs on a charcoal filter - Some must be mounted on the back of the grease filter. Others are mounted on the intake of the engine. And thus there are approximately as many charcoal filters as there are hoods on the market.

Because of this, Thermex has launched a new filter concept. The concept consists of 3 types of recirculation filters that can be used by any hood – Cabinet-mounted, free-hanging, ceiling-integrated, wall-mounted and even table-integrated hoods.

With the Thermex Filter concept, you are free to wonder which carbon filter the hood is "born" with. The only thing you have to think about is what quality and maintenance you want.

 

The Thermex Carbon & Hepa Filter is a universal carbon filter designed to fit any cooker hood. The black plastic filter has a conical design that maximizes the filter surface and ensures efficient air purification.
 
Properties:
Universal Compatibility: This carbon filter fits all cooker hoods, eliminating the need to find specific filters for your model.
 
Compact Design: The compact design makes it easy to install the filter either in the hood's chimney or in a wall cabinet.
 
Effective Air Purification: The carbon filter effectively removes odours with an impressive 80% efficiency.
 
HEPA Filter: In addition to the carbon filter, there is also a HEPA filter, which is known for its excellent abilities to remove microscopic particles from the air. The HEPA filter captures allergens, dust, pollen and other small particles, which significantly improves overall air quality.
 
Long Life: With a lifespan of up to 3 years, this filter lasts six times longer than a standard carbon filter, saving time and money on frequent replacements.
 
Dimensions: 166x203x423 mm (WxDxH), making it compatible with most cooker hoods. Minimum dimensions for the duct are 170x220 mm. Ø150 outlet.
 
Replaceable Filters: Both the carbon filter and the HEPA filter can be easily replaced once they have reached their end of life.
 
Easy Installation: The filter is easily installed on the hood's exhaust pipe, making it a simple upgrade for any user.
 
 
With Thermex Carbon & Hepa Filter, you get a high-performance solution that ensures fresh air in your kitchen and a significant improvement in air quality. This filter is ideal for those who want a long-lasting and effective solution without any hassle.

Thermex Mini Plasmex is a plasma filter that effectively purifies the air passing through it. Plasma filters clean the air significantly differently than regular charcoal filters. When the polluted air enters the filter, the air particles become electronically charged, making it easier for odors to be filtered out in the charcoal filter section. As a result, Thermex Mini Plasmex achieves an efficiency of up to 85%, which is much higher than what is possible with a typical charcoal filter. Therefore, it's groundbreaking that Thermex can now introduce Mini Plasmex at a very reasonable price in terms of quality, efficiency, and maintenance.

The Plasmex filter solution is still unknown to many, but Thermex was among the very first in the market to introduce the concept and has had many satisfied customers since 2017.

This is partly because, when compared to a traditional charcoal filter over a period of 5 years, Mini Plasmex is significantly cheaper because it doesn't need to be replaced. The lifespan of a Mini Plasmex is up to 5 years. Whereas in the same period, with a traditional charcoal filter, one would have had to replace it 10-15 times. So, it can definitely be worthwhile to purchase a Mini Plasmex. In addition to saving money, you also save the hassle of changing the filter in your extractor hood, and you also get much better filtration.

What is a Plasmex® filter? When you do not have the option of venting outdoors, or simply want to save on the heating bill, you can now install a THERMEX Plasmex® filter for your container. When the air passes through a Plasmex® filter, the air particles are affected with an electronic charge so that they are more easily captured by the carbon filter part of the Plasmex® filter. This means that the air returning to the kitchen is 96.5% clean of mados. This makes the Plasmex® filter twice as effective as a regular carbon filter. The lifetime of a Plasmex® filter is expected to be up to 10 years. It is approx. 20 times longer than a regular carbon filter.
