ACTIVE HEAT RECOVERY VP 18 M2 ventilates the home via an active heat recovery function that recovers the energy in the hot air that is extracted from the home, transferring it to the supply air. Compared to a counterflow heat exchanger, which recovers up to 90% of the heat, the heat pump utilises 100% of the heat, both to heat the supply air and to produce hot water. The center of a ventilation system with active heat recovery is a heat pump that, in general terms, comprises of an evaporator and a condenser. The energy in the hot air extracted from the home is taken up by the evaporator before...

Discharge air When the VP 18 M2 system has recovered the heat from the outlet air, the used, moist air is extracted from the home. Fresh air Via an air valve in the home’s facade or roof, fresh air is drawn in from the outdoors and channelled to the VP 18 M2 system. VP 18 M2 The unit regulates air flows, heat recovery, production of hot water and any heating of the home that is required. It can be located in a utility or technical room. Sanitary hot water VP 18 M2 recovers the heat from the extracted air and uses it to produce hot water.

VP 18 M2 Product description The VP 18 M2 unit is designed for installation in utility or technical rooms and is suitable for homes with an air exchange requirement of up to 300 m3/h. The unit combines ventilation with active heat recovery, production of hot water and comfort heating, in one compact, space-saving solution. VP 18 M2 is the obvious choice for homes with limited space, as it does not require more space than an ordinary wall cabinet. This should be compared to solutions with separate ventilation, heating and hot water installations, which can soon fill up a utility or technical room....

ACCESSORIES Electrical pre-heating element (Frost protection) To prevent the highly efficient counterflow heat exchanger from freezing, we recommend that you fit an electrical pre-heating element. The element consumes very little energy but improves heat recovery. The net result is more cost-efficient operation. An EM-box allows heat recovery from the air from the range hood and thereby helps to heat the supply air. The EM-box is equipped with a special filter which efficiently cleans the range hood air of fat particles and thereby protects the system. A pollen filter class ISO ePM1 50-65% (F7)...
