Fragrance lamps, which operate on the process of catalytic combustion, are the quientessential answer to taking control of your home’s fragrance blueprint. The main function of these stylish perfume bottles is, first and foremost, to purify the air of household, pet and smoke odors, eliminate bothersome bacterias and germs, and ultimately increase oxygen levels while emitting beautiful fragrance. This process is what sets a fragrance lamp apart from candles, reed diffusers, oil burners, incense, room sprays and sachets. All of these other home fragrance products merely mask odors and in some cases, emit additional smoke and pollutants into the air.
HOW THE PROCESS OF CATALYTIC COMBUSTION WORKS
Fragrance lamps use a method of catalytic combustion to move large volumes of air through the lamp’s heat chamber (wick/stone). This heat mixes with the room’s cooler air creating a continuous flow of air, a process known as catalytic conversion. Airborne molecules that contain bacterias and cause odors are filtered through the lamp’s chamber and converted into oxygen. The catalytic burner reaches 140° Farenheit to combust a special alcohol based fuel. The burning fuel releases molecules (negatively charged ions) into the air that capture and destroy odors, resulting in purified air. In just 25-40 minutes of burn time, a fragrance lamp will deodorize and fragrance 1000-1400 cubic feet and the effects will last for hours.
HEALTHY WICK TIPS
The catalytic stone/wick is the workhorse of your lamp that works in conjunction with high grade fragrance oils specifically formulated to complete the catalytic conversion. The following information is vital to the proper operation and maintenance of your fragr
