Compliance with Building Codes

The most recent laws introduced to reduce energy
consumption require compliance with a series of
constraints which concern the performance provided
and the energy consumption of ventilation equipment.
In particular, the 2006 Edition of the U.K "Building
Regulations Document F1": means of Ventilation (ADF
applicable in England and Wales) details 4 clearly
defined systems of ventilation to dwellings. System 4 -
Continuous mechanical extract with heat recovery
(MVHR) is complied with by the new VORT PROMETEO
HR 400 ultra-high efficiency whole house heat recovery
ventilation system.
In addition the unit fully complies with the requirements
of the 'Code for Sustainable Homes' which details 6
levels of C0 2 emission improvement over 2006 Building
Requirements. In order to operate in accordance with
ADF, the unit must be set by the installer to deliver air
volumes a stated in the Approved Document and as per
the extract of ADF on page 38 of this brochure.

Description and Operation

Vortice PROMETEO
appliance"), is an extremely high efficiency heat
recovery centralised ventilation system that can be
installed in a horizontal (using the supports provided),
and vertical position (resting on the floor or on the wall,
using the special metal brackets provided).
During normal operation the stale air is extracted from
the kitchen, the bathrooms, en-suites, wc's and the
utility rooms; at the same time, fresh air from outside is
supplied into the bedrooms, living and dining rooms.
The air flows required are detailed in current
regulations; in the England and Wales the "Building
Regulations Document F1" apply and in Scotland the
regulations are in the "Scottish Technical Handbook
2007: Section 3.14".
During normal operation the total volumes of air
extracted and air supplied back in are essentially the
same. The incoming and outgoing air flows are
separate and suitably filtered. During the cold season
the heat of the expelled air is transferred to the incoming
air flow, with an approximate efficiency of 95%. The
condensation created in the process, which is collected
inside the product, must then be drained off to the
outside.
The appliance ensures the silent and continuous
ventilation/extraction of the air from the home, removing
the "stale" air from all wet rooms and creating a
permanent air path, through the property, from the dry
habitable rooms. Air, drawn into the property by the fan
is routed through an integral high-efficiency synthetic
heat exchanger where warmth from the extracted air is
transferred to the incoming fresh air before it is supplied
to the habitable rooms. One of the most useful functions
HR 400 (henceforth
of the appliance is the capacity to ensure, in a
completely automatic mode, that the environmental
conditions set in the conditioned rooms are maintained
constant, while reducing energy consumption to the
minimum. This also ensures compliance with the most
recent national and European regulations and directives.
Temperature ranges
The external temperature range (that is the temperature
of the external air sent into the home, before the heat
exchanger and therefore not yet heated) compatible
with correct operation of the appliance is between -
30°C and +50°C (for external temperatures outside this
range the appliance stops, giving an error code).
The internal temperature range (that is the temperature
of the air extracted from the home, before the heat
exchanger and therefore not yet cooled) compatible
with correct operation of the appliance is between
+10°C and +50°C (for internal temperatures outside this
range the appliance stops, giving an error code).
