Decentralized ventilation system
Ventilate individual rooms in your house: decentralized living space ventilation
Would you like to equip your apartment or house with ventilation, but installing a central ventilation system is too complicated for you? Or do you only want to ventilate certain rooms? Then we recommend decentralized living space ventilation. You can install this in individual rooms and can also easily have it retrofitted in existing buildings. In addition, installation is much easier than with centralized living space ventilation.
Just like a central system, modern, decentralized living space ventilation meets all the standards for tightly built low-energy houses. You also save on energy costs - especially with a model with a heat exchanger that transfers the heat from the exhaust air to the fresh air.
Decentralized ventilation systems are suitable for every building.
Installation of a decentralized living space ventilation system
Decentralized ventilation units with heat recovery are installed on the inside of an external wall, usually next to the window or in the area of the window sill. If you want to install decentralized living space ventilation without a heat exchanger, it is recommended that you attach it next to the window near the heater. This way, the heater can heat the fresh incoming air.
Another form of decentralized ventilation is the pure negative pressure or exhaust air system. Here, a fan creates negative pressure for the unit. For this type of controlled living space ventilation, planned air outlets are required for the inflow of outside air.
Are you wondering how many ventilation units you need for decentralized living space ventilation? The number of units required depends on the needs of the users and the room conditions. The decentralized ventilation system can be controlled either directly via a remote control or via a central control with a touch screen - depending on requirements and room usage.
How does decentralized living space ventilation with heat exchanger work?
A decentralized ventilation unit uses a fan to suck out the used air, filter it, and feed it to the heat exchanger. At the same time, another fan sucks in fresh air from outside through a filter and also feeds this to the heat exchanger. In the heat exchanger, used air and fresh air, separated by aluminum plates, flow past each other in a cross-flow. The heat from the used air is transferred to the fresh air. The heated supply air flows into the room, and the cooled exhaust air flows outside. Thanks to high-performance filters, dust, dirt, or pollen have no chance of getting into the room. In addition, decentralized living space ventilation removes pollutants (e.g. from furniture) from the room.
