Residential ventilation
Ventilation systems ensure optimal climate conditions, providing a cool, healthy, and comfortable environment for buildings of all sizes and applications.
In a completely sealed room within a building, air cannot easily enter or exit, so contaminants remain and accumulate. This can negatively affect the room's occupants. Ventilation is essential to reduce and eliminate these airborne contaminants.
A well-maintained ventilation system and an appropriate air exchange rate have proven to be an effective solution for protecting people from contaminants, including viruses.
These pollutants are generally:
- CO2
- Humidity
- Chemical emissions (VOCs)
We measure CO₂ and relative humidity in this way:
- CO₂ (PPM):
CO₂ is a gas present in the air that is produced by any living organism when it breathes. The average concentration of CO₂ in ambient air is between 300 and 400 ppm.
- > 1200 ppm = indoor air quality is POOR
- 1000–1200 ppm = indoor air quality is ACCEPTABLE
- > 1000 ppm = indoor air quality is HEALTHY
- RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH %):
This is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the equilibrium vapour pressure of water at a given temperature.
- > 70% = the air is TOO HUMID
- 30–70% = the air is GOOD
- < 30% = the air is TOO DRY
If humidity levels are above 70% you run the risk of:
- Growing mold and bacteria
- Stuffy conditions
- Overall discomfort
If humidity levels are below 30% you run the risk of:
- Catching a cold or infection
- Dry and itchy skin
- Damaging your house’s wood, siding, or paint
CHRV Technology Concept
Concept Of 'Centralized Heat Recovery Ventilation' (CHRV)
2-Zone Ventilation System
An automated detection of when to ventilate, where to ventilate (day-zone or night-zone) and how much to ventilate is available thanks to CO2 and humidity sensors that closely monitor the occupant’s presence and activity.
Controlling both zones independently with an integrated valve substantially reduces the consumption of EC fans, resulting in a higher energy consumption reduction and an A+ energy label.
Main Advantages of CHRV Technology
Energy Efficiency
- Fresh air passes through heat exchanger before being supplied
- Bypass for free-cooling capacity
- Possibility of 2-zones control system
Indoor Air Quality
- High capacity of filtration
- CO2 / Humidity sensors
Comfort
- Allows the return air to pass most of its heat to the incoming fresh air in winter time avoiding the sensation of “cold draft”
- Possibility to pre-heat the fresh air in winter time
Why DUCO?
One-stop-shop for your end-to-end ventilation solution
Complete range of Centralized Heat Recovery Ventilation (CHRV) units, ducts & accessories.
Smart demand control
The room is only ventilated when necessary and in the correct amount. CO2 concentration and air humidity are used as indicators. This helps avoiding unnecessary heat loss while guaranteeing an optimal indoor climate.
The quietest system
Quiet ventilation systems create a comfortable indoor climate. DUCO excels in acoustics for both supply and exhaust air.
Automatic Calibration
Automatic calibration, which uses constant pressure calibration principles for measurement and adjustment, always delivers a 100% guaranteed high-quality result and translates into a 50% time savings for the installer.
Connectivity
Thanks to the communication card, DUCO ventilation systems can communicate via Modbus and/or Ethernet. Modbus integration allows them to be linked to a building management system.
High Energy Conversion Efficiency
The combination of dynamic air distribution filters and high-performance heat exchangers results in a very high efficiency ratio.
Only at Daikin
Thanks to DUCO, Daikin offers Centralized HRV systems with an integrated 2-zone valve. With the 2-zone version of the DucoBox Energy Premium, Daikin’s product range is extended to a unique ventilation system with embedded 2-zone control. If a certain area of your house does not require ventilation, that area is not ventilated. Cost savings on heating, lower consumption and noise comfort of the unit itself (lower rpm) are the logical consequences.
Sensors meticulously detect the residents’ movements throughout the home. This makes it possible to automatically determine where, when and in what amount ventilation is required.
By controlling the two zones independently using an integrated valve, the consumption of the EC fans is considerably reduced, resulting in an A+ energy rating.
