SlimAIR has received Passive House certification

 

SlimAIR has received Passive House Institiute certification!

When applying for projects that require Pasive House certification, you may want to consider our HRU-SlimAIR-250-H in the category Ventilation systems < 600 m3/h.

When building a house with low energy consumption, otherwise known as a passive house, it is necessary to use the highest quality components that will allow us to achieve high energy savings relative to conventional house design. One of the 3 pillars of passive houses is mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. Recuperation provides fresh and clean air, and thanks to the high efficiency of heat exchange - significantly reduces heating costs.

It was tested at 100% efficiency with the  maximum airflow of 242 m3/h. What’s also noteworthy: Dimensions of the unit are extremely flat with a height of 242 mm. 
As a result, the unit can be hidden in the dropped ceiling. Get to know the SlimAIR range of heat recovery units.

Meet the SlimAIR family of recuperators:

  • efficiency 250 / 350 and 500 m3/h,

  • only 242 mm in height (model HRU-SLIMAIR-250),

  • lightweight design - from 25 kg,
  • heat recovery up to 95.2% (model HRU-SlimAIR-500),

  • built-in RH sensor.

Wider selection of SlimAIR


A wider selection of SlimAIR heat recovery units is now available.

The new models are the HRU-SlimAIR-350 and HRU-SlimAIR-500, with capacities of 350 and 500 m3/h, respectively. Ceiling-mounted heat recovery units can be equipped with an enthalpy exchanger (moisture recovery) and a CF module (constant air flow). The maximum heat recovery for the HRU-SlimAIR-350 is up to 94%. The version with enthalpy exchanger (the HRU-SlimAIR-350E) is characterized by heat recovery up to 91% and moisture recovery up to 87%.

The heat recovery efficiency of HRU-SlimAIR-500 heat recovery units is up to 95.2%, and for the version with enthalpy exchanger (the HRU-SlimAIR-500E), up to 89% heat recovery and up to 85% moisture recovery.

Universal installation is a unique feature of SlimAIR heat recovery units: they can be wall-mounted horizontally, vertically, or suspended horizontally (HRU-SlimAIR-250 and HRU-SlimAIR-350). In the case of HRU-SlimAIR-500, this unit is designed to be either ceiling- or wall-mounted, vertically.

HRUs are equipped with pleated filters with increased filtration area, which generate low pressure drops. The filters are classified as ISO Coarse 70% according to ISO 16890. ISO ePM1 55% fine filters are also available.

Compact housing - MinistAIR fits

 

New version HRU-MinistAIR 

HRU-MinistAIR residential heat recovery units are a new version of a well recognized model, based on a completely new design. Airflows of 250 or 325 m3/h and self-supporting casing made of EPP, acting as thermal and acoustic insulation at the same time. Counter-flow heat exchangers, made of PET, are responsible for heat recovery and enthalpic exchangers (E) recover moisture. In addition, the built-in RH sensor will take care of moisture level in the building. Left and Right version, together with horizontal installation, will allow you to adapt the unit to almost each project. Moreover, 56 cm width will allow installation in narrow spaces or wardrobes.

Wireless communication is used, likewise other series, both for controllers and IAQ sensors. Control is possible also via a mobile application.

 

Key performance features:

  • Heat recovery: HRU-MinistAIR-250 - up to 96%, HRU-MinistAIR-325 - up to 95.5% 
  • Mounting in 3 configurations- wall-mounted: vertically, horizontally and standing on the floor 
  • Left-hand and right-hand units (mirror image of the connections) 
  • A horizontal model for both left and right configuration 
  • Two condensate drains. By designing the inclinations in EPP, excess water can flow freely to the drain connector 
  • Replacement of filters is easy without opening the cover 
  • Compact dimensions. The unit's width is only 560mm. Units can be installed in standard 600mm cupboards thanks to these dimensions 
  • Modulated by-pass 
  • Free-cooling functions – also referred as Passive Cooling (no energy is needed) or Night Cooling (mostly happens during night), can be used to cool a building with outdoor air, when the room temperature is higher than the outside temperature 
  • Free-heating functions - also referred as Passive Heating (no energy is needed), can be used to heat a building with outdoor air, when the room temperature is lower than the outside temperature 
  • Performance tested according to EN 13141-7 standard

SMART Ventilation System with Zoning

 

What is the SmartAIR system?

SmartAIR heat recovery system with zoning is the most intelligent, efficient system on the market. Why is it intelligent?

The ventilation system works independently, based on readings from sensors. Besides knowing how many people are in the house, the system also knows where they are.

Thus, it provides the right amount of air at the right time and place. A situation like this can be achieved by zoning, i.e. by dividing the house into day and night zones in accordance with the natural cycle of the day of the household members.


Here's how it might look:

  1. At night, we ventilate the night zone, e.g. bedrooms located on the 1st floor.
  2. In the daytime, we ventilate the day zone, which includes the living room and dining room.

Obviously, this is a simplified representation of how the algorithms may work. An intelligent HRV system requires sensors spread across multiple rooms to work (min. 2 sensors).

CO2, humidity, and motion detectors measure the air quality level (IAQ), as well as the presence of household members. Once they determine the air demand in a given zone, they send a signal.

As a result, the heat recovery system blows only as much air as is required by the residents, and not as much as the installer intended.


Would you like to live in a smart house? Choose the SmartAIR system

How about the most efficient system that uses as little energy as possible? Are you interested in smart technologies that minimize energy consumption? This mechanical ventilation system with zoning is the solution for you.


Ventilation designed for people, not buildings 

Control in the ventilation system with zoning is fully automatic. No resident interaction is necessary.

Installation needs to be adjusted only once. It will then regulate itself to meet the actual needs of the household. The sensor readings will be transmitted to the air handling unit in real-time, so the ventilation system operation will reflect actual needs.

Using that information, the heat recovery unit will deliver the right amount of fresh air at the right time and place.

As long as one of the zones is ventilated, the regulating T-piece sends a signal to the air handling unit to proportionally decrease the airflow, drastically reducing the electrical consumption. The reduced efficiency of the air handling unit reduces the power consumption as well as the energy used for heating.


Benefits of the SmartAIR system:

  • Saves energy - the heat recovery unit uses less electricity,
  • Enhanced comfort - the HRU is quieter,
  • High efficiency - a controlled level of fresh air, as required,
  • Less energy needed for heating,
  • ECO - the most energy-efficient way to control a heat recovery system,
  • SMART - the system designed to adapt to your needs,
  • You are always in control - monitor all parameters in the app.
