A quantum leap in terms of kitchen ventilation

How do you improve a system that already excels in performance and ease of assembly? By scrutinizing every detail, questioning everything and using state-of-the-art simulation software. Naber's engineers ensured that the COMPAIR PRIME flow® kitchen ventilation system can present even better performance.

Manufacturers of extractor hoods obviously do their utmost to ensure optimal extraction performance. "But it's what's behind that that really matters," Naber echoes. "Whether it's a classic range hood or a downdraft in a freestanding kitchen island, without optimum transmission of the extracted air, range hoods lose much of their potential. And that's where Naber jumps into the breach, not least with our COMPAIR PRIME flow® which we have continued to tinker with. The result is a big improvement in terms of aerodynamics. And that did not escape the organizers of the internationally renowned Red Dot Award either. The product received a Red Dot Award - Product Design 2023 trophy as a crowning achievement."

3D flow simulations

"Saving more energy is impossible," Naber says. "We tuned all components of COMPAIR PRIME flow® with state-of-the-art software to minimize air resistance and maximize efficiency. The guide vanes in the curves and the small turbulators (like on an airplane wing) work together to discharge large volumes of air. In addition, this is done with significantly lower noise generation and significantly lower energy consumption of the extractor."

Simply connect

The COMPAIR PRIME flow® kitchen ventilation system consists of several components that are connected together. Naber's engineering team simultaneously looked at its assembly and came up with some upgrades here as well. The core of the system is the universal connector that connects the various components with the N-click system. "Additional aids such as tape or adhesive tape are a thing of the past because this simple but ingenious click system creates an airtight circuit every time," echoes the manufacturer. "The assembly time is also less than half compared to the current system. In addition, each connector also has a flexible zone that allows directional changes of 15° in any direction. Thus, this connector is immediately also a problem solver."
