PRIMA KLIMA fan 1100 m3/h, 150 mm, EC motor with thermal control (PK150EC-TC)

Product detailed description

Prima Klima PK150EC-TC - quiet and efficient extract, 150 mm diameter and 1100 m3/h

Prima Klima PK150EC-TC is a duct radial fan with an efficient EC motor. It draws in air and easily overcomes the resistance of a carbon filter and ducting; the impeller with backward-curved blades and the aerodynamic housing made of non-flammable polyamide (nylon) keep operation quiet and reliable. The connection and control technology is integrated into the housing.

What EC motor means

EC motor (electronically commutated, from the German manufacturer ebm-papst) is a type of motor - efficient, quiet and with smooth electronic speed control built directly into the motor. Unlike a classic AC motor, the speed is not throttled by a lossy dimmer, so the fan draws only as much energy as it really needs for the given airflow - even at lower speeds. The result is lower consumption, less noise and longer service life. EC refers to the motor, not the way it is connected to another device.

Built-in temperature-based control

The control unit is built directly into the fan body and is operated by three rotary controls: target temperature (range 20-30 deg. C), maximum speed and minimum speed. The fan maintains the set minimum, and when the temperature exceeds the target, it smoothly increases up to the set maximum. It does everything on its own, without an external controller.

Why it pays off

The combination of EC motor and built-in control means the lowest operating costs and peace of mind: the fan uses only as much energy as the given airflow requires, and noise stays at a minimum even at higher output.

Which tent it suits and how to size it

With a maximum airflow of 1100 m3/h, the fan is suitable for a large 150x150 cm tent or a smaller growroom. The fan diameter, filter flange and ducting should be the same (150 mm) - otherwise unnecessary resistance, loss of performance and noise occur. A carbon filter and bends reduce the real airflow, so choose the fan with a reserve above the space requirement.

Suitable accessories for the fan

For odour extraction, fit the same-diameter Industry carbon filter 150 mm, distribute the air with 150 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 at PK125EC-TC 680 m3/h, PK160EC-TC 1180 m3/h, THC version with humidity control.

Frequently asked questions

How large a tent is the fan suitable for?

The maximum airflow of 1100 m3/h with a 150 mm diameter covers a large 150x150 cm tent or a smaller growroom. Allow a reserve: a carbon filter and duct bends reduce the real 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-based control: the fan increases speed on its own when the temperature rises above the set limit. The -THC version controls temperature and air humidity at the same time, so it keeps 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, controls 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.
