Hybrid Ventilation systems seek to provide the ideal trade-off between the controllability of mechanical ventilation and the low running costs of natural ventilation. An integral fan gives the system the ability to provide guaranteed levels of fresh air to the ventilated space, whilst mixing it with recirculated room air to maintain acceptable supply air temperatures without any supplementary heating.
Monodraught’s HVR Zero is the latest development in their goal to achieve zero carbon ventilation for indoor spaces such as classrooms and offices. HVR Zero is a hybrid ventilation unit that combines the benefits of natural ventilation with mechanical ventilation heat recovery designed specifically to minimise energy usage in the UK market.
Natural ventilation is low carbon and transfers fresh air without fans making it extremely cheap to run whist providing a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. During the summer months, hybrid ventilation switches on the mechanical fan to boost the natural ventilation and optimise indoor comfort. During winter periods, the hybrid system mixes warm internal air with fresh external air to deliver mixed tempered air, whilst utilising heat recovery to save energy.
HVR Zero can be used in single sided or cross flow ventilation strategies. It has an industry leading specific fan power (SFP), intelligent controls as standard, as well as inbuilt temperature and CO2 sensors.
The new “Acuity” central control system utilises a bus network to minimise wiring between rooms, and provides an interactive graphical interface with which to monitor and control multiple HVR systems
