4.3 Connection of Condensate Drain
4.31 WALL MOUNT
HRV systems generate considerable amounts of moisture due to their high Heat
Recovery Efficiency; this moisture must be drained from the system to a suitable
discharge location.
The aircycle 1.3 is supplied complete with a centralised drainage connection on the
bottom of the unit.
Brookvent recommend the use of a 32mm “Waterless Dry Trap” on HRV systems (
as
shown above) to prevent the back flow of air into the HRV unit from the waste discharge
system.
It is imperative that there is a gravitational fall from the unit to the discharge point
ensuring that the water drains from the unit. A minimum fall of
5 Degrees
should be
ensured throughout. Drainage piping/ connections should be insulated if located in cold
roof spaces. NB. Dry trap (Not Incl.) must be fitted with a
5 Degree
fall at that point.
Drainage piping/ connections should be insulated if located in cold roof spaces.
DO NOT connect other condensate pipes from the system or other systems BEFORE the
“Waterless Dry Trap”
