Lamp Berger: reviews, instruction

More than a hundred years ago, the French pharmacist Maurice Berger created a small device that allowed, without undue effort, but effectively clean the air of pathogens in hospitals. For this he received a prize from the French Republic. The invention is called the "Berger Lamp", and its properties are useful today.

Purification of air

The simplest version of the lamp is a glass vessel filled with isopropyl alcohol, a wick, a catalytic burner located in the neck of the tank. Also included in the kit are two caps: a mesh (also a protective frame) and one piece (the latter is called a flame arrestor). The method by which air is purified is called catalytic combustion. In such a process, the flame is not present, and the reaction proceeds due to the interaction of the catalyst and the reagent.

The catalyst is platinum, one of the most resistant to oxidation of metals, the reagent is isopropyl alcohol. Its thin layer is sprayed onto the lamp burner circuit. During the reaction, the burner heats up to 500 ° C. Due to heating and reaction on the surface of the catalyst, ozone and oxygen begin to be released. Ozone molecules are the best disinfectant, they bind and neutralize pathogenic bacteria and any odors. In the room where the lamp Berger worked, fresh fragrance is felt: this is soaring in the air after a thunderous summer rain.

Aromatization

Lampe Berger, in addition to purifying and ozonizing the air, aromatizes the room. If you fill the lamp with specially formulated fluids with composite odors, a pleasant aroma will be felt in the room. That is why the second name of the device is the aroma lamp BERGER. Aromas for use are best purchased from the manufacturer of lamps. Recognized all over the world, compositions are made only with the use of natural ingredients, which is the corresponding European certificate of quality and conformity.

The aroma is released during operation from the center of the burner, where the temperature does not exceed 200 ° C, which preserves and reveals the entire bouquet of the composition. The liquid for Berger lamps with aroma composition consists of isopropyl alcohol (85%), natural essential oils (10%) and distilled water (5%). You can try to make the mixture yourself, but almost always the experience turns out to be unsuccessful, and the burner needs to be cleaned. In addition, no one knows what kind of connection can result from the merger of the previous branded and artisanally created fragrances. It is often not possible to clean the wick.

Application

To get a good result and not to spoil an expensive device, it is worth to get acquainted with how correctly the Berger lamp is used. The instruction consists of several consecutive steps:

• Fill the selected aroma composition with the lamp. The liquid should occupy ½ the volume of the container.
• Close the lamp with a burner with a wick, the container should be sealed tightly, and leave for 10-15 minutes (this time is required to impregnate the wick).
• Set fire to the burner with a match or lighters.
• After 1.5-2 minutes. The flame becomes small. This means that the burner has reached operating temperature and should be extinguished. To do this, it is extinguished - just blow it.
• Put on the lamp a protective frame and enjoy the first notes of aromas. The device must be shut down after 10-20 minutes. This time is enough for cleansing and persistent aromatization of the room.
• After 15-20 minutes after the catalytic burner has started, the lamp must be switched off. To do this, the lamp is put on the cap - flame arrestor. With it, the catalytic process is interrupted, and the lamp stops working.

Rules of preservation

The Berger lamp is successfully used in offices, manufactures, medical institutions, at home. There are several nuances of using a lamp:

• If it is assumed that the Berger lamp will not be used for the next two or more weeks, it is necessary to disconnect the burner from the container. In this case, its aromas do not permeate with smells, which means that when the composition changes, they do not mix.
• If the burner has darkened (this occurs after 4-5 inclusions), it must be cleaned. The procedure is simple: fill the lamp with a neutral liquid and light it. The process will take 3-5 minutes, during which time the burner will acquire the original color, which means its purification. Put out the fire in the usual way. After that you can pour the composition you liked.
• The change of one flavor to another occurs through the purification of the wick and the burner: pour the boring liquid into the vial, pour a neutral composition into the lamp's capacity, light it and leave the lamp to work for 20 minutes. Extinguish in the usual way, wait until the device has cooled down and replace the neutral liquid with the mixture of interest.
• Change the Lampe Berger burner through 200 ignitions or do it once a year.
