100ml Aromatherapy Essential Oil Catalytic Diffuser, Berger Lamp

The Berger Lamp, also known as the Lampe Berger or Maison Berger, operates through a process called catalytic combustion. Here’s a description of how it works:

1. Filling the Lamp : The first step is to fill the lamp with a special fragrance oil or “Lampe Berger fragrance”. These fragrances are typically alcohol-based and come in a variety of scents.

2. Lighting the Wick: After filling the lamp, you light the wick and let it burn for about 2-3 minutes. This initial burn is essential to heat up the catalytic stone and get it ready for operation.

3. Blowing Out the Flame : Once the wick has been burning for a few minutes, you blow it out. The catalytic stone remains hot and starts to emit heat.

4. Catalytic Combustion : The catalytic stone, which is made of porous ceramic, acts as a catalyst for the fragrance oil. As the oil is drawn up through the wick to the catalytic stone, it is heated to a high temperature (around 140°F to 160°F or 60°C to 70°C). At this temperature, the fragrance molecules are broken down into smaller molecules, which neutralize any odors in the air.

5. Diffusion of Fragrance : As the fragrance oil is catalytically burned, it releases its scent into the air. The lamp not only eliminates odors but also adds a pleasant fragrance to the room.

6. Controlling the Intensity : The intensity of the fragrance can be controlled by adjusting the airflow with the cap on the lamp. Closing the cap reduces the airflow, making the fragrance more subtle, while opening it increases the airflow for a stronger scent.

7. Safety : The Berger Lamp is designed to operate safely, with the catalytic stone reaching high temperatures but not high enough to cause a fire hazard. However, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe use and never leave the lamp unattended while in operation.

Overall, the Berger Lamp offers a unique and effective way to purify and fragrance the air in your home.
