From a product to an intelligent system
Everyday activities in bathrooms, bathing rooms and kitchens generate humid air. When moisture accumulates, it can adversely affect both indoor comfort and the well-being of occupants. RIMERA intelligent fans by DOSPEL were developed as an effective response to this common problem.
Based on innovative microprocessor control systems and LED technology, RIMERA fans combined efficient air extraction with intelligent operation. Their distinctive design also turned a functional ventilation device into a stylish element of a contemporary interior.
RIMERA was a series of fans with a distinctive modern appearance, designed to complement bathrooms, kitchens and private bathing areas. The products stood out not only because of their unconventional aesthetics, but also because of the innovative engineering incorporated into each model.
The fans were equipped with an electronic control system that continuously monitored external light signals, the level of humidity in the room and the speed of the motor. The motor could operate in two different configurations. The first activated the fan when the defined humidity threshold was exceeded, while the second responded to the appearance of a light signal.
These two operating modes allowed the system to be adapted to the individual preferences of the occupants. Timer Support provided an additional layer of control: after the input signal disappeared, the motor continued to operate for a programmed period.
Another advantage was DOSPEL’s specially developed and patented hybrid impeller profile. Working together with the airflow guide, the impeller formed a precisely matched aerodynamic system.
As a result, the fan operated very quietly, with a noise level not exceeding 26 dB. The carefully shaped overlapping blades and their increased number also delivered a greater volume of airflow.
The DOSPEL fan featured IPX4 protection, achieved through precisely engineered components and a robust housing manufactured from ABS plastic and polycarbonate. RIMERA fans were additionally equipped with an intelligent anti-flooding system, a moving drainage mechanism and a digital control panel.
The panel enabled the user to adjust the activation threshold of the humidity sensor, the fan overrun time, the illumination colour and the lighting mode.
RIMERA domestic fans
The designers of the RIMERA series created a distinctive collection of interchangeable decorative panels that combined practical performance with visual appeal. One of the most attractive features was AMBIENT lighting, which produced a subtle glow around the fan in a choice of 100 colours.
Using the digital control panel, the illumination colour could also be used to indicate the humidity level in the room. A simple removal system made it possible to replace the decorative panel quickly with any other design from the extensive RIMERA collection.
The RIMERA Art range included restrained metallic colours as well as more saturated shades of red, orange and yellow. The panels were developed in line with contemporary technical requirements and interior-design trends.
Models in the Art series combined an original appearance with robust finishing. Colourful shaded panels with clearly defined textures were further enhanced by raised steel details arranged symmetrically across their surfaces. This expressive design was intended to emphasise the scale and individual character of an interior.
RIMERA Art was created for customers looking for an unconventional finishing element for a bathroom or kitchen — one that performed an essential technical function while contributing to the overall design.
Designed with interiors in mind
RIMERA Classic fans were developed for minimalist interiors. Their understated design appealed to customers looking for a traditional, functional and dependable ventilation solution. The smooth decorative cover was available in a selection of subdued colours that fitted naturally into rooms dominated by white, black and grey.
RIMERA Classic also complemented the steel elements commonly used in bathroom and kitchen fittings. The simplicity of the model helped designers create coherent and carefully considered interiors.
For customers seeking a more distinctive solution, the RIMERA Exclusive Series introduced decorative covers made from stainless steel and brass, enriched with Swarovski crystals. The range combined original detailing with simple geometric forms.
RIMERA Exclusive Series panels were distinguished by unusual textures and an unconventional visual language. Their character was intended to appeal to people who preferred non-standard and futuristic bathroom or kitchen interiors.
The quality and aesthetics of the Exclusive Series offered an attractive solution for customers wishing to break the visual monotony of their surroundings. Intelligent engineering combined with distinctive decorative design allowed RIMERA fans to improve the indoor climate while giving each room a more refined character.
The broad choice of models made it possible to create an individual arrangement for a modern bathroom, bathing room or kitchen without treating ventilation as a purely technical afterthought.
