DUCO Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
DUCOBOX ENERGY PREMIUM
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
The DucoBox Energy Premium takes MVHR-systems to the next level. Ideal for installations in an “energy-neutral” or “passive” home. The unit comes with automatic calibration and an (optional) integrated 2-zone operation, based on time- or demand control (CO2 / humidity). The DucoBox Energy Premium ensures ultra-quiet, intelligent and energy-conscious operations!
The most quiet MVHR solution!
The favourable positioning of the fan as well as the use of high-grade
absorbent material and a steel casing guarantee a whisper-quiet
operation , especially in the living areas where this matters most
(bedrooms and living room)!
zone control (optional)
The day and night zone are being controlled separately by a valve which is
integrated in the machine itself. Steering can happen based on time-schedules
or based on CO2 or humidity measurements, thereby significantly improving
the energy efficiency
AUTO calibration
The automatic calibration, which is based on the principle of constant
pressure, allows for a very fast and accurate calibration. This easily reduces
set-up time to 50%! This quickly means a saving of 40€ on the installation
cost for a standard calibration!
Distinguishing features
- Quietest sound power (air supply) on the market
- Patented 2-zone control guarantees maximum energy efficiency (60.5 W)
- Automatic calibration reduces setup time by at least 50%
- Modular surface mounted, all components are accessible at the front of the device
- Smart communication via connection through REST API (locally or via the cloud) or Modbus TCP
- Generate a ventilation repor t immediately after calibration through the Duco Installation App
A DucoBox for every home
Choose the DucoBox that fits your requirement based on the following possibilities:
Ventilation capacity| Two types of units with extraction and supply (at
150 Pa):
either up to 325 m3/h, either up to 400 m3/h.
---|---
Zonal control| Available with or without the internally integrated
2-zone valve allowing 2-zone control.
Frost protection| Via unbalance or combined with pre-heater.
Left / right version| The sloping side can be either left or right (on
the slope side,
one finds SUP “zone 1” and ETA connection).
Type of plug| With plug type G (UK) or plug type F (other European
countries).
ZONE
VENTILATION SYSTEM
Sensors closely monitor the occupant’s presence and activity in the dwelling
by means of CO2 and/or humidity-sensors. This allows for an automated
detection of when to ventilate, where to ventilate (day-zone or night-zone)
and how much to ventilate.
Controlling both zones separately with a built-in valve substantially reduces
consumption by the EC-fans, which translates into the highest energy
reduction and an A+ energy label.
