How does a fragrance lamp work?

Fragrance lamps are used in homes and offices for their fragrance and for cleansing the surroundings. They come with a special alcohol based fragrance fuel, which burns at about 140∫ F to produce molecules that are responsible for destroying bad smells and bacteria in the surrounding.

The catalytic combustion process occurring inside the lamp when it is lighted moves large volumes of air through the lamps heat chamber. As the lamp is lighted, heat within the lamp rises quickly from the catalytic filter and this heat in turn mixes with the cooler surrounding air to create a continuous flow of air through the combustion chamber. In this process, air molecules that cause odors are filtered and then converted into oxygen. Within about 30 to 45 minutes, your entire house smells lovely, and is full of oxygen and free from bacteria.

The process used by fragrance lamps to fragrance the air, makes them better to use than candles. They can emanate fragrance into the air, while eliminating odors without a continuous flame. Since the fuel used in the lamp burns at about an ounce an hour, the lamp can be burnt everyday making it more economical to use than candles, since burning a candle everyday tends to be expensive. When the lamp is burning, you will notice some steam arising as it is oxidizing air particles. This is much safer and cleaner than candles, as candles release black soot into the air when burning. Also, candles need to have a melt pool in order to spread fragrance, which takes a longer time.

Perfumed candles only emit fragrances into the air. They do not help to increase the oxygen level in the surrounding environment and they are not capable of destroying odor and bacteria. If the candleís flame is left unattended, it may lead to fire accidents, while in the case of the fragrance lamps, you need to blow out the flame to set it working. Buying fragrance lamps is a better choice than buying candles as they are more environment friendly than candles.

Fragrance Oil Lamps have multiple parts to make them work.
