FAQ

Q: What is the purpose of a heat recovery ventilation

system?

A: Heat recovery ventilation systems recover thermal energy from
the air inside your home and use it to pre-condition fresh filtered
supply air drawn in from outside. This helps increase the
temperature of the supply air in winter and reduce it in
summer.

Q: What are the mounting types available for the Aerofresh

range?

A: The Aerofresh range offers in-wall, horizontal ceiling, and
upright mounting options based on your installation requirements.
Please refer to the user manual for specific details.

Q: How do I control the Aerofresh units?

A: The Aerofresh 60 comes with a remote control for full control
in the palm of your hands. The Aerofresh 180 and 280 have their
respective controllers, which are multi-function remote control
panels with LCD displays.

Quiet Operation

Aerofresh provides a healthier, well ventilated indoor space with simple and quiet operation. Fantech Trade offers a broad range of units to suit air flow and installation requirements for most homes.
Heat recovery ventilation units recover thermal energy from the air inside your home and use this to pre-condition fresh filtered supply air drawn in from outside. In winter this increases the temperature of the supply air, while in summer this reduces the temperature of the supply air.

AEROFRESH 60
The Aerofresh 60 decentralised heat recovery unit provides continuous ventilation to ensure a home feels fresh and comfortable to live in. Home occupants can enjoy a healthier indoor environment as the Aerofresh will improve the air quality, while being energy efficient to run and very simple to operate. The Aerofresh 60 units are installed in synchronised pairs to provide balanced ventilation (non pressurised) and promote higher levels of air circulation.

Features
· Alternating exhaust/supply air flow direction (“push-pull”) ensures efficient energy recovery and air circulation
· Sleek modern internal diffuser is easily removed for cleaning
· Regenerative ceramic core heat exchanger with high thermal efficiency (up to 80%)
· Fitted with a high efficiency EC motor that is designed for continuous running
· Unique winglet-type impeller provides increased efficiency and low noise
· Integrated humidity control detects elevated humidity levels and increases flow rates
· Comes with a plastic grille with insect screen and an aluminium weatherproof hood with acoustic lining and insect screen
· 5 speed operation
· Insect screen is easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance from inside the home
· “Free cooling” function allows cool outside night air to enter during summer (night time purge)

AEROFRESH 60 HRV UNITS

Regenerative ceramic core heat exchanger with high thermal efficiency

Balanced energy recovery mode
Aerofresh 60 is installed as two synchronised units, providing the home with pre-conditioned fresh air.

How it works
· Aerofresh 60 units are installed in pairs in separate habitable rooms. Do not use in wet or odorous rooms (as this can circulate moisture and odour)
· Both units alternate their air flow direction every 70 seconds (approx.) and are synchronised with each other so while one unit is exhausting air the other is supplying air into the home
· The Aerofresh unit transfers the thermal energy from air inside the building to the incoming fresh air
· Helps maintain healthy indoor air as well as prevent condensation and mould growth
· 8 to 10mm door undercut allows air flow when doors are closed
· When installing in a bedroom, ensure to position away from bed heads

Filters are changed through a ceiling access panel and must be installed by the builder.

Features
· Well suited to shallow ceiling voids with a minimum height of 269mm
· Boost function enables rapid extraction of increased moisture or pollutant levels
· Automatic bypass for free cooling during the summer season
· Anti-frost protection to prevent frost build-up
