The award winning Sentinel Kinetic® Advance from Vent-Axia is the nextgeneration of heat recovery ventilation systems. It is designed to offer thehighest level of comfort and control available ensuring the best possiblecustomer experience.

A whole new experience

The highly sculpted interior surfaces, designed using the latest CFD techniques, ensures airflows are maximised through the unit, minimising noise and energy use. This feature alone provides an experience which we are confident will delight home owners and fulfil our ambition of providing the most discrete and efficient ventilation available.
With the widest range of options available, installers can now order a system that is tailored to their client’s needs.

Air Quality and Health

We have strived to make the Advance system the most flexible solution available on the market. Optimisation has been targeted in every aspect of the design to ensure that it really does improve quality of life. Whatever the outside environment, we a have a method to help reduce air pollution from entering the living space. Our range of filter options, up to and including ePM2.5 (F7), ensures that even homes in heavily urbanised areas have the opportunity to filter out the impurities and help protect their family from respiratory issues.

Low noise levels

The most common concern with home owners is that ventilation devices create noise. With Advance, absolute optimisation of every element does everything possible to minimise generation and transmission of both motor and airflow noise. We believe that we have one of the quietest units available. The Sentinel Kinetic Advance Acoustic Solution is also available for scenarios where noise is critical; an Acoustic Enclosure will reduce breakout noise and the Top Box will reduce in-duct noise at key frequencies.

Ventilation how you want it

The Vent-Axia Connect smartphone application, available on iOS and Android, allows the multitude of functions to be adjusted from the comfort of your sofa.
We have spent our time considering every element of the ventilation control.
Should you want to run the system at certain times and a various speed, all the options are available. With smartphone compatible controls, you are in full control of your ventilation all year round, for example increasing the ventilation rate during hot periods in the summer or reducing the speed while away to minimise running costs.
Simultaneously, the smart logic built within our controls also ensures that your system operates optimally, with automated functions such as frost protection and summer bypass, ensuring your comfort is the number one priority.

Airtight Buildings

Low energy buildings typically have very low leakage rates (below 3m³/(h.m²) at 50Pa). This reduces the effectiveness of the standard frost protection strategy which imbalances the airflows. For airtight buildings in cold climates it is advisable to use the Sp models with built-in pre-heater.

Consultant’s Specification

Specification
The supply and extract ventilation unit shall be the Sentinel Kinetic Advance as manufactured by Vent-Axia and shall be sized as indicated on the drawings and shall be in accordance with the particular specification.
The unit shall be fully insulated for thermal and acoustic performance and shall incorporate a counterflow multiplate heat exchanger with independently verified thermal efficiency up to 93%. The heat exchanger shall be protected by ISO 45% Coarse (G3) Grade filters on intake and extract air-flows. The unit shall have the facility to accommodate ISO ePM10 (M5) and ePM2.5 (F7) filters. The filters shall be accessible via tool-free access doors. The heat exchanger, motors, summer bypass and all other serviceable parts shall be accessible through the front of the unit.
Supply air to the room shall be pre-heated by the extract air via the integrated composite plastic counter-flow heat recovery cell. The Sentinel Kinetic shall automatically vary the ventilation rate via EC/DC motors, as it receives signals from optional or in-built sensor inputs. When a signal is received, the fans shall either vary their speed proportionally or on a trickle/boost principle.
The unit shall have the facility to commission the supply and extract fans individually via in-built minimum and maximum speed adjustment, or alternative wired remote control unit. The fans themselves shall have independent, infinitely variable speed control.

Unit Specification

The unit shall be manufactured with an ABS Outer case construction, with the ability to alter the spigot configuration via the on-board controller.
The unit shall have a high efficiency composite plastic counter-flow heat exchanger, supply and extract filters (up to ISO ePM2.5 (F7)), automatic 100% summer bypass, integral minimum and maximum infinitely variable speed controls with facia mounted failure indication.
The unit shall have low energy, high efficiency EC/DC fan/motor assemblies with sealed for life bearings. The impellers shall be high efficiency backward curved centrifugal type, achieving an SFP as low as 0.38W/l/s (EN 308).
The unit shall have a heat exchanger cell with a thermal efficiency of up to 93% when tested to EN 308. This shall be protected by ISO 45% Coarse (G3) grade synthetic filters on supply and extract, with the option of ISO ePM10 (M5), ISO ePM2.5 (F7) or external carbon activated filters. The unit shall come with both a 22mm and 32mm connection for draining condensation.
The unit shall have wireless control capabilities as standard, using RF858 connectivity, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth low energy 4.2. The unit shall use RF858 to connect to a wide ecosystem of wireless sensors including but not limited to CO2, temperature, and relative humidity.
The unit shall be able to engage Wi-Fi to connect to local devices and create a local area network to allow for a larger network to be created for commissioning. The unit shall have Bluetooth low energy 4.2 to allow connectivity onto compatible smart phone devices.
The unit shall be constructed with a removable tool-free front panel which gives access to the removable on-board controller and other accessories. The EPS panel can then be removed with 4 screws allowing full maintenance access. This shall provide access to the following:

√  Supply or extract fan
√  Heat exchanger
√  Access to the electrical connections

To reduce breakout noise, the MVHR unit shall be provided with an Acoustic Enclosure of steel construction lined with class ‘0’ acoustic foam. To reduce in-duct noise, the top of the MVHR shall be fitted with an Acoustic Top Box to provide attenuation to the 4 ducts of the unit. This Acoustic Top Box shall be of steel construction lined with acoustic class ‘0’ foam with the MVHR spigots linked to the Top Box via 4 separate attenuated ducts. The acoustic enclosure and top box shall each be independently tested for noise to BS EN 13141-7.
Access shall be provided for wiring termination and setup/commissioning.
The unit can be supplied with either a backlit user interface or a blank plate, both of which shall be removable for remote mounting if required.
Filters shall be accessed via the two pull out drawers near the top of the unit.
Units shall be as manufactured by Vent-Axia Ltd.
