Product detailed description

Prima Klima Industry K1610 - premium carbon filter 200 mm with a 4 cm bed of carbon

Do you need to reliably remove odours from outgoing air even during long operation? Prima Klima Industry K1610 belongs to the premium Industry Line, which is separated from the more affordable Eco Line by just one, but crucial, thing: a 4 cm deep bed of activated carbon instead of 3 cm. A larger layer of carbon means a longer contact time between the air and the carbon, higher adsorption capacity and a longer service life - that is why the Industry Line is suitable for continuous and more demanding operation, where the thinner filter will wear out sooner.

Why a 4 cm bed of carbon (difference compared with Eco Line)

Both ranges are filled by Prima Klima with the same high-quality highly activated CTC75 carbon with an internal surface area of over 1200 m2/g. The difference is in the thickness of the bed layer: Eco Line has 3 cm, Industry Line 4 cm. The thicker layer extends the time during which the air is in contact with the carbon, so the filter captures more odour molecules and its filling lasts longer. You therefore justify the premium price with a longer service life and reliability under load - the filter is also refillable, so the carbon can be replaced once exhausted instead of buying the whole filter.

How the filter works

Air passes through the bed of activated carbon and odour (organic) molecules are captured - adsorbed - inside the porous structure of the carbon. Capacity is gradually used up by the airflow, much like a battery discharges. The lower the actual airflow through the filter and the cleaner the air, the longer the filling lasts. The filter is lined with a fabric pre-filter that catches dust and protects the carbon, and it can be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Parameters and sizing

Choose the filter, fan and ducting at the same 200 mm diameter. Size the fan with a reserve above the tent's requirement - carbon creates resistance and reduces the actual airflow of the assembly, so the fan alone will always extract more air than the assembly with the filter fitted. The optimal airflow of around 1150 m3/h indicates the mode in which the filter works most efficiently and for the longest time; 1650 m3/h is the upper limit.

Which fan to use and how to complement it

For matching diameters, the Prima Klima 200 mm EC fan and 200 mm ducting are directly suitable. You can find the full range, including larger and smaller sizes, in the category Prima Klima Industry carbon filters.

Which size to choose

This filter is sized for large tents and smaller rooms (200 mm flange, up to 1650 m3/h). If you need a different output, choose the neighbouring size: the smaller Industry K1608 for lower airflow or the more powerful Industry K1611. The mechanics and carbon work the same across the whole range; only the diameter, length and airflow differ.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Industry Line differ from the cheaper Eco Line?

By the thickness of the carbon bed - Eco has 3 cm, Industry 4 cm. The carbon is the same in both (CTC75), but the thicker layer in the Industry Line extends contact time, increases capacity and service life. That is why the Industry Line is the choice for more demanding and continuous operation.

How long does the filter last?

It cannot be given in months as a fixed figure - the service life of the filling decreases with higher airflow and more polluted air. As a rough guide, double the airflow means roughly half the service life. The filter is refillable, so you can simply replace the carbon after some time.

Which fan should I choose for the filter?

Always the same flange diameter, i.e. 200 mm, and with a reserve above the tent's requirement. Carbon increases resistance and reduces the actual airflow, so the fan should be chosen with more power than would correspond to the bare volume of the space.
