DCBL Suppression System™ is the industry’s first range hood
motor powered by direct current (DC) energy. An evolutionary
step from the traditional AC powered range hood, all Next
Generation Europa range hoods with DCBL Suppression™ provide
unparalleled performance and features.
Features like, Bloom™ HD LED light bulbs, the industry’s first
dimmable LED bulbs and an on-board computer that actively
optimizes your range hood’s performance.
This technology package has been pioneered by Zephyr engineers,
certified by UL testing authorities and reinforces Zephyr’s
leadership in the range hood market. This powerful combination
of technology delivers the MOST forcefully silent range hoods that
are also the most energy efficient.
With a 68-year lifetime, Bloom™ HD LED are an industry breakthrough.
Bloom™ HD LED light bulbs are untouchable in performance, light
emission and value.
Designed in partnership with commercial
camera lens designers, Bloom™ HD LED bulbs
amplify a 3-watt diode into 20 watt halogen-
like cooking light that evenly distributes light
on the cooking surface below. Bloom™ HD LED
light bulbs are the only range hood LED light
bulbs with near-halogen light warmth.
Bloom™ HD LED light bulbs are integrated into the on-board computer
where AC energy is converted into the DC energy LED light bulbs need
to operate and are cool to the touch. Bloom’s™ 1” heat sink dissipates
heat away from the LED giving the diode higher fidelity performance
over-time and keeping heat away from chef’s space.
With DCBL Suppression System™ we remove unwanted decibels from
your kitchen environment, increase your range hood’s performance with
true working speed benefits and help you do your part for the environment
by reducing your range hood’s energy consumption by up to 77%. DCBL™
uses a permanent magnet that allows electricity to be conducted without
the use of brushes or metal
contacts that cause heat and
friction – the main perpetrators
of parts failure, noise and
wasted energy.
This permanent magnet design
also allows us to increase the
motor’s torque at lower RPMs
so that your range hood can move up to 250 CFM on speed level one and
operate at 0.8 sones (working speed) to meet your everyday cooking needs.
Should you need more power, all range hood’s with DCBL Suppression™
technology are capable of moving 715 CFM on maximum speed.
Your range hood’s CFM levels are determined by the wattage applied to
the motor. All Next Generation Europa hoods with DCBL Suppression
System™ use a closed loop circuit in the on-board computer that allows
us to precisely control the wattage applied at each speed level. This
allows us to keep the range hood performance fully optimized and helps
limit the effect of increased static pressure resulting from out-of-scope
duct runs.
How do you improve on the classics?
When Zephyr introduced Europa to the US
market in 2001, it proved to be the first of
its kind in terms of design and value.
Through the years this has remained our
core strength but the time has come to
evolve the designs that Zephyr has made
iconic. And offer a new paradigm in range
hood performance.
