| Heat recovery ventilation from Vent-Axia |
OverviewThe Sentinel Kinetic from Vent-axia is the next generation of whole house heat recovery ventilation systems. It will effortlessly remove your home’s polluted air and provide a constant supply of clean filtered air, allowing you and your family to live in an ideal indoor environment. Air Minder Plus is available in two models; F (Filter) and FB (Filter and Summer Bypass). Sized correctly, it will gently ventilate the property at a rate of about half an air change per hour, removing moist air and unpleasant smells from the kitchen, bathrooms and toilets and extracting it to the outside. Why should you install a heat recovery ventilation system onto your new home? If you insulate your building to high standards, install good quality double glazing and low heat loss glass, make the building airtight and do everything possible to help reduce the cost of heating your home; don’t you think it’s crazy to drill 2 x 6" holes in the wall of each room in order to provide ventilation? Depending on the wind direction, you may be losing excessive heat or not ventilating your home at all. If you install a heat recovery unit, you can block up those 6" holes and lets fans gently and constantly ventilate the house, while extracting any usefully heat from the exhaust air from kitchens and bathrooms. Where most people notice the benefits of the system is in the morning and after a party. Some bedrooms can smell stale in the morning and you need to open the window to ventilate the room. With the HRV system installed, bedrooms are fresh in the morning and the house doesn't smell after you have a party because when you were sleeping, the system has been working hard to remove all the stale smells and replace the air with fresh, filtered and heated outdoor air. Fresh filtered air is drawn into living spaces such as bedrooms and living rooms, providing continuous ventilation even when the house is sealed up for the day. By keeping humidity levels low and introducing warmed fresh filtered air to replace contaminated air, the quality of the internal environment is significantly improved. You can actually feel the freshness in the air within the house.
Continuous whole house ventilation can help reduce relative humidity to below 70% RH, which inhibits the ideal living and breeding conditions of the house dust mite. Air Minder Plus can be used with a wide range of Vent-Axia controllers and sensors. Ranging from remote controllers to wired remote sensor Air Minder Plus can control your indoor air quality letting your home breathe. Features and Benefits• Manufactured in the UK An easily accessible heat recovery cube protected by Product SpecificationThe Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Plus has 2 fully adjustable speeds and a purge setting - maximum. On the front of the unit is a digital controller that can be used to pre-set the speeds to any required air-flow within the performance range. The Sentinel Kinetic Plus models can be mounted vertically in a roof space or on a suitable wall. When mounted in an unheated area ducting should be insulated. Ducting can be attached to the unit horizonally, vertically or both. Performance
