THE UK RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPERS CHOICE
Heats
the Air
Heat that would normally be exhausted is instead transferred to the colder fresh air that enters the home via the Mechanically Ventilated Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit. The remaining heat is passed through the exhaust air heat pump which in turn also boosts heat into the space.
Depending on the performance of the property, an additional support electric radiator may be required to top up the heat on really cold days. This is controlled by the Compact P and is only used as a last resort.
Ventilates
the Space
The unit is built with a 95% efficient MVHR unit that constantly provides fresh filtered air to bedrooms, hallways, living and dining rooms, while extracting dirty and humid air from bathrooms and kitchen areas.
Heat is transferred to the incoming air via the MVHR’s heat exchanger while, at the same time, exhausting the stale air. The ventilation runs continuously using extremely efficient low wattage fans, ensuring the occupier gets fresh filtered air 24/7.
Heats
domestic Water
The included 180ltr insulated hot water cylinder is heated using the hot pipes coming off the integral heat pump. This can heat the water to temperatures in excess of 70c, particularly in summer when in cooling mode. The unit is commissioned to 55c and can produce circa 240ltrs of blended hot water; ample for a three bed property.
To ensure there is no risk of legionella, the cylinder comes with a 1.5kw backup immersion heater that can boost the water temp quickly over the 60c required. This can also act as a support during high demands for both heating and hot water.
