The Range:
New building regulations are striving to improve energy efficiency in the home and reduce CO2 emmissions.
Part L places greater emphasis on airtightness in new homes to reduce the energy loss through uncontrolled air leakage, so the need for an intelligent controlled ventilation strategy is becoming more critical.
Wholehouse ventilation with heat recovery, is often referred to as MVHR.
It provides a constant background flow of fresh tempered air to the living spaces of a ‘tight home’ whilst extracting condensation, smells, tobacco smoke and volatile organic compounds via kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. The resultant lower humidity deprives the house dustmite the conditions in which to breed, thus contributing to a healthier environment.
The Xpelair Xcell 270 is one of a new breed of high efficiency MVHR units designed to save energy and function reliably with extremely low running costs. It maintains a cosy indoor environment during the colder months and provides an ‘aired’ feeling even when the building has been closed up for long periods.
The Xpelair cell is housed in an insulated cabinet and integral filters are designed to make access to the cell unnecessary – keeping maintenance to a minimum.
Xpelair LongLife DC fan units not only ensure a low running cost but they are also much more efficient than ac motors – keeping energy usage down.
A choice of ten preset performance programmes enables flexible control over air quality and when combined with a manual switch or automatic sensor, the ventilation rate can be increased temporarily to reduce humidity – perfect for bath and shower rooms.
Fitted with a fan failsafe interlink, if one fan is stopped, the other will automatically switch off - particularly important in homes with open fires or unvented boilers.
Housed in a stylish cabinet, the Xcell 270 can be unobtrusively mounted in an airing cupboard, on a kitchen wall or within a roof space.
