Vortice VORT HR 200 BP, Instruction Booklet

Page: 24 / 52

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 HR 200 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 C02 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
VORT HR 200 (henceforth “the appliance”) is an
extremely high efficiency centralised heat recovery
ventilation system that can be floor mounted using the
special optional kit or wall mounted using the special
hooks provided.
Normally, stale air is extracted from “service” rooms
such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries; at the same
time, fresh air from outdoors is ducted into rooms that
are normally lived in such as bedrooms, studies and
sitting rooms. The air flows required are detailed in
current national regulations; in the UK, the
UK “Building
Regulations Document F1 ” apply.
During normal operation the total volumes of air
extracted and air fed back in are essentially the same.
The incoming and outgoing air flow are perfectly
separate and suitably filtered. During the cold season,
heat from expelled air is transferred to incoming air. The
condensation created in the process, which is collected
inside the product, must then be piped to the outside.
The appliance silently and continuously ventilates the
house removing stale air and replacing it with filtered
fresh air from the outside. Inside the heat exchanger,
which is the key element in the appliance, heat is
exchanged between the two flows of air and this
guarantees the energy savings that the VORT HR 200
offers.
