PRIMA KLIMA fan 800 m3/h, 160 mm, with temperature control (PK160-TC)

Product detailed description

Prima Klima PK160-TC - quiet and efficient extract fan, 160 mm diameter and 800 m3/h

Prima Klima PK160-TC is a radial (centrifugal) fan designed for extraction with a carbon filter: it draws in air and easily overcomes the resistance of the filter and ducting. The ball-bearing motor with backward-curved blades runs quietly and with low power consumption; the body made of non-flammable polyamide (nylon) is resistant to impact and heat. The connection, capacitor and control system are hidden directly in the housing.

Built-in temperature control

The fan has a built-in thermostat: you set the target temperature and minimum speed, and the fan then automatically increases output when the temperature in the space or ducting rises above the limit, and slows down again as soon as the climate drops back. The built-in thermal protection protects the motor against overheating. The control is part of the body - you do not need any external controller.

Why it pays off

Automatic control saves both work and energy: the fan runs at full power only when needed, otherwise it maintains lower, quieter speeds. The radial impeller moves more air than standard axial fans at lower noise levels, so the setup remains discreet and the climate stable. German manufacture and a Swiss motor are a guarantee of long service life.

Which tent it suits and how to size it

With a maximum airflow of 800 m3/h, the fan is suitable for a 120x120 cm tent or a smaller grow room. The fan diameter, filter flange and ducting should all be the same (160 mm) - otherwise unnecessary resistance, loss of performance and noise will occur. A carbon filter and bends reduce the actual airflow, so choose the fan with a reserve above the needs of the space.

Suitable accessories for the fan

For odour extraction, fit the same-diameter Industry 160 mm carbon filter, distribute the air with 160 mm ducting and extend the life of the carbon with the V300S pre-filter. You can mount the fan securely on the wall bracket. You can find other sizes and ranges in the Prima Klima fans category - take a look, for example, at PK150-TC 760 m3/h.

Frequently asked questions

What size tent is the fan suitable for?

The maximum airflow of 800 m3/h with a 160 mm diameter covers a 120x120 cm tent or a smaller grow room. Allow for a reserve: a carbon filter and duct bends reduce the actual airflow of the setup, so choose the fan with more than enough capacity for the tent rather than exactly at the limit.

What is the difference between the -TC and -THC versions?

The -TC suffix means built-in temperature control: the fan automatically increases speed when the temperature rises above the set limit. The -THC version controls temperature and air humidity at the same time, keeping the climate within the target range (close to the VPD principle). For cultivation, humidity is just as important as temperature, so -THC is the more advanced variant.

Do I need an external controller for the fan?

No. The control is built directly into the fan body, regulates the speed itself and works without any additional device. Only owners of ECblue series models, which do not have built-in control, buy an external controller separately.
