1.1 Domaplasma
®
technology - VDE certified air purification
You have spent a lot of time and attention on the design and choice for your kitchen. We
are therefore delighted that you have chosen our Domaplasma
®
air purification system.
Your decision shows that you find quality, functionality and energy efficiency just as
important as we do.
Domaplasma BV, specializing in air purifying solutions since over 10 years already, is the
developer and sole producer of the Domaplasma ® air purifying system, specially designed
for in-house applications in recirculating cooker hoods.
The Domaplasma-IQ-series plasma filters achieved excellent results during the many tests
that were performed by the certifying body VDE. Also, the mandatory ozone-emission tests
(according to the norm IEC/DIN-EN 60335-2-65 Ed. 2.1–32) had very positive results. Based
on the above results the VDE rated the Domaplasma system as a secure and functional
solution to clean the in-house and kitchen air. Thus, Domaplasma received (as the first
company in this field) the VDE-certificate Nr. 40046744 (see the first 2 pages, as well as the
CB-certificate Nr. DE1-58593). You will find these pages enclosed in this document. Fact:
the unique Domaplasma ® low temperature plasma technology is extremely effective,
powerful, widely scalable, multipurpose and very energy efficient and therefore your
certified emission-free and safe ultimate solution for air purification!
What is plasma? The basis of the Domaplasma ® process is similar to how Mother Nature
successfully purifies the global atmosphere.
By using high voltage energy, a so-called “cold plasma” is created in which oxygen- and
water molecules become instable, thus resulting in the creation of e.g. singlet oxygen and
hydroxyl radicals (OH•). The chemically extremely active hydroxyl radicals and the
somewhat slower acting other single radicals react, the very instant they are formed, with
the gaseous organic odour vapours flowing in between the Domaplasma
®
grids.
This chain reaction is a so-called “cold oxidation” process resulting, to a very high
percentage, into the oxidation products of the organic contents, as well as carbon dioxide
and water vapor as residues.
The Domaplasma ® technology applies dielectrically buffered high voltage – at approximately
2.5 to 2.8 kV - as an energy source (however with a significantly low total energy
consumption of below 10 What) on uniquely designed, durable and carefully produced high
quality ceramic Domaplasma ® electrodes in order to create a low temperature plasma
(whereas our nature applies sunlight - i.e. photons).
A variety of solutions, all powered by Domaplasma ® , is available in several standard models
and capacities which all are, because of a unique internal pressure-sensor, fully independent
regarding the electronic controls of whatever brand of cooker hood to be used with. When
suitable we can adapt shapes and capacities of the various Domaplasma ® models,
depending on specific uses and amounts.
