A decentralised MVHR unit is a compact ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR) that can ventilate one room at a time (decentralised). A decentralised ventilation unit with heat recovery provides your home with clean air while retaining the heat from your home. Because a decentralised MVHR ventilation ventilates one room, this is done in an optimal and efficient way. In addition, no duct system needs to be installed to all living spaces, making a decentralised MVHR unit an accessible solution for many applications!
How does a decentralised MVHR unit work?
For a decentralised ventilation with MVHR, only one feed-through is required in the wall of the living space in question. So no supply ducts or distribution ducts need to be installed. This makes a decentralised MVHR unit very easy to install.
But how does a decentralised MVHR both extract and supply air with just 1 duct? Because the air flow direction in the decentralized MVHR unit changes approximately every 70 seconds! The duct also contains a heat exchanger with a high efficiency that largely retains the heat from the extracted air and releases it to the incoming air. This allows you to ventilate your home while retaining as much of the heat from your home as possible!
Which rooms are suitable for a decentralized MVHR unit?
In particular, rooms that regularly become damp, such as the bathroom and the kitchen, and rooms where there are often many people or people stay for a long time, such as a living room and bedroom, are suitable for the use of decentralized MVHR units. In these rooms, it is essential that the air quality is good! With a decentralized MVHR you ensure that the air in these rooms is constantly refreshed. This prevents mold formation in damp rooms and ensures healthy and high air quality.
What are the advantages of a decentralised MVHR unit?
A decentralised MVHR unit has several advantages:
- Optimal ventilation of a single room: Because a decentralised MVHR unit only needs to ventilate one room, this is done in the most efficient and optimal way. This makes the decentralised MVHR very energy-efficient and quiet.
- Easy installation: Because only one passage through the wall needs to be made, no ventilation ducts need to be installed and decentralised MVHR units are very compact, a decentralised MVHR unit is an accessible option for installing a ventilation system!
- Low purchase costs: Installing a decentralised MVHR unit is a lot cheaper than a complete central MVHR installation! However, one decentralised MVHR unit can only ventilate a limited part of your home due to its lower ventilation capacity.
- Easy to maintain: A decentralised MVHR unit is a lot less complex than a central MVHR installation and is therefore much easier to maintain!
When to choose a decentralised MVHR unit?
A decentralised MVHR unit is extremely suitable for spaces where no ventilation system is connected, for example because there are no ventilation ducts available for this. However, because it only ventilates one space, you will need multiple units to optimally ventilate all the different critical spaces such as the kitchen, bathroom and living room. Using multiple decentralised MVHR units also means that there are multiple ventilation systems to maintain.
