The “Energy Noise Control” is a real answer to the most important consumers’ needs. The research Best in the area of advanced motor control electronics has achieved significant results in:

Noise
We have focused our efforts to those air capacities normally used in household conditions (up to 500/ m3/h). The results have been significat and have been reached without the use of noise absorption materials. The reductions in noise perception go from a minimum of 30% at 500 m3/h to 65% at 300 m3/h. We have measured values of 34 dbA at 280 m3/h, 41 dbA at 380 m3/h and 47 dbA at 500 m3/h. Wihth such values the noise perception is reduced to a minimum, while the air recirculation garantees a kitchen environment free from odours.

Energy Consumtion
The pefect electric balance of the ENC motor and its advanced electronic control have allowed a drastic reduction of energy consumption. The saving has been in the order of 70% compared to traditional motors. We have measured 18 W at 280 m3/h, 44 W at 500 m3/h, 149 W at 770 m3/h.

Air Capacity Power
The hoods equipped with the ENC system have  a real 1000 m3/h air capacity at the maximum speed (1100 m3/h in the hoods with a tall casing). This is a real reserve  of power for use in critical or emergency conditions.

The “ENC System” is applicable to many cooker models. In the section “ENC System” of this catalogue, you can find only some examples of its application: please ask for further information about it.
