Orcon WTW HRC-360-OptiAir-Eco

The Orcon HRC-360 OptiAir Eco is a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery designed for larger homes and apartments with higher ventilation demands. The system operates based on demand control, recovering heat from the exhausted indoor air to preheat the fresh incoming air. With a maximum capacity of 360 m³/h and a thermal efficiency of 89.5%, this unit is the more powerful variant within the OptiAir Eco range. Like the 260 model, the Eco version uses imbalance as frost protection, eliminating the need for a separate preheater.

Advantages and Features

360 m³/h capacity for larger homes: the HRC-360 OptiAir Eco ventilates spaces with higher air flow requirements, such as larger family homes or multi-storey dwellings.
Thermal efficiency of 89.5% and energy label A (A+ with additional sensor): the system recovers nearly all the heat from the extracted air and transfers it to the incoming fresh air, substantially reducing heating energy demand.
Modulating 100% bypass for passive cooling: during warm summer nights, the bypass fully opens to allow cool outside air to enter the home directly, bypassing the heat exchanger.
Constant volume control with 1% accuracy: airflow remains stable regardless of duct resistance, ensuring each room receives the correct amount of air.
Three installation options in one compact unit: the unit (1070 x 830 x 320 mm, 23 kg) is suitable for ceiling, wall, or floor mounting, making it adaptable to diverse building situations.
Expandable with wireless RF control: connect CO2 sensors, humidity sensors or an HRC Display wirelessly to the unit to enable room-specific demand control and achieve energy label A+.

Powerful Ventilation with Low Energy Consumption

At a maximum capacity of 360 m³/h, the HRC-360 OptiAir Eco consumes 85 W. The ePM1 70% filter class on the supply side screens fine dust from outdoor air, contributing to a healthier indoor climate. Thanks to its demand-controlled operation, the system runs mostly at lower speeds, reducing both energy consumption and noise levels compared to a system running at full load continuously.

Installation, Maintenance and Applications

The HRC-360 OptiAir Eco is suitable for new build properties and renovation projects requiring high ventilation capacity. The duct connections are 4 x 180 mm, compatible with larger duct diameters typically used in spacious homes. The unit comes with a mains cable fitted with grounding. Ceiling mounting is the default configuration, and using separate wall or floor mounting kits increases installation flexibility. All filters and maintenance-sensitive components can be accessed without dismantling the unit or removing it from the ceiling. Airflow per ventilation position is adjustable via dipswitches on the control board.
