8.0 User Operation
The Brookvent aircycle 1.2 is an extremely compact and highly efficient Mechanical Heat
Recovery Ventilation (HRV/MHRV) system, specifically designed for smaller dwellings and
apartments with restricted space.
The system should be run continuously 24 hours a day, and should only be disconnected
by a competent person during service or maintenance.
The system works by drawing stale air from ‘wet rooms’ such as Bathrooms, WC’s and
Kitchens, recovering up to
93%
of the heat from this air using a highly efficient heat
exchanger, before expelling the waste air outside the home. Simultaneously, fresh air is
drawn into the home, filtered and warmed by the recovered heat and supplied into the
‘habitable rooms’ such as bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms.
How your system is configured upon installation will influence how it can be operated at
the user level. Please ensure to refer to the commissioning certificate provided by your
installer for full details.
General Guidance
Your system may be set up to boost from trickle speed automatically via sensors (e.g.
Passive Infrared Sensors) or manually via simple switch controls. These may be timed
switches or push/pull switches. Boost options, if provided and if required, should be used
when excess pollutants are being generated within the home (Cooking, Bathing etc.)
With certain dwellings the system may be configured to operate at what is known as a
“constant ventilation rate”. This means that there is no boost required to ade
quately
ventilate the home and the system operates at one set level at all times requiring no user
input/control.
