TACKLING MOULD

Good indoor air quality continues to be essential for our well-being.  Ineffective ventilation contributes to mould growth; dank, musty smells; condensation on windows and walls; and a general deterioration of the fabric of the building.  It is known that mould growth is a particular health hazard.   An increase in the incidence of house dust mites – leading to allergy problems and poor respiratory health – is another consequence of inadequate ventilation.

Thus, mechanical ventilation is even more of a necessity for the 21st century home.  A well-thought out, professionally designed, efficient, quiet and economic ventilation system is vital.  Vectaire’s whole house heat recovery products are aimed at controlling all the above problems.  They can be installed in all types of dwellings, and are designed to ensure that ventilation is always delivered at the optimum (and most economic and energy efficient rate) for the comfort of residents.  They provide continuous ventilation by extracting pollutants and humidity and maintain a constant intake of fresh, filtered air whilst meeting the latest requirements for energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and economy.

Vectaire has both vertical and horizontal MVHRs within its range.  They are all low energy products with EC motors and are manufactured using the latest technologies to ensure optimum ventilation, good air quality,  low noise levels, low running costs and excellent SFP ratings.  Commissioning is via an LCD screen.

The upright models– the Midis and the Maxis – offer the option of an integral LCD or a remote LCD commissioning unit.  The “BY-AT” models incorporate integral acoustic attenuation to ensure really low noise levels.  The in-line EVOs, Mini and Studio are commissioned using the remote LCD unit.  Thus, the commissioning engineer can easily adjust detailed unit functions including, for example, the trickle, purge and boost speeds for each motor, the length of the boost speed over-run time, the time delay before the boost speed kicks in, holiday mode and night-time boost inhibitor times.  The user can see the speed at which the fan is operating, the relative humidity etc, and when the filters need replacing.  The user can also set the unit to holiday mode for energy saving when the dwelling is not occupied.  These units are all manufactured in our Andover factory to ISO9001 and are SAP PCDB Listed.

Vectaire’s single room heat recovery unit, HREC1003, is a versatile unit (available in three tube lengths; can be rotated into four positions; incorporates a summer bypass and frost-stat) and has the added advantage of saving both money and heat with a 75% heat exchange efficiency.

Slim in-line MEVs are available – good for where space is limited.  All these in-line units are for loft or cupboard installation and have variable choice of trickle, boost and purge speeds.

Vectaire’s axial or centrifugal dMEVs are particularly suited for toilets, bathrooms, en-suites, kitchens or utility rooms – everywhere steam or odours are generated.  All these continuous running products are economic to run and will properly ventilate all residential properties.

All the products mentioned above are SAP PCDB listed.
