Indoor climate solutions manufacturer, Zehnder Group UK, has unveiled the Zehnder ComfoAir Flex – its latest energy efficient mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR), designed for tight spaces and challenging installation environments.
Small in size, the company says it is narrow enough to be ceiling mounted, the new ComfoAir Flex is a solution for improving indoor air quality in urban apartments, small houses and student accommodation, where space is at a premium.
The ComfoAir Flex has a heat recovery efficiency rate of 96%, and the new system performs to current and future EPB requirements at energy class A+.
Working alongside the system’s ceiling-mounted design are four, 45 degree turnable bends for versatile duct installation. Each air connection can be individually turned to connect to a duct inline with the unit or rotated 90 degrees.
Stuart Smith, Commercial Director at Zehnder Group UK said: “The ComfoAir Flex brings a potential revolution to the UK construction industry. Its unique attributes could significantly alter the industry’s approach to environmental sustainability and occupant comfort, addressing the critical need for energy-efficient, space-conscious buildings in the urban landscape.
“This new system exemplifies our commitment to the Passive House standard – a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in building design – reducing its ecological footprint. With its high heat recovery efficiency, that adheres to these principles, it will ensure a significant reduction in energy consumption, thereby lowering CO2 emissions.
“The introduction of the ComfoAir Flex into the European market was met with enthusiasm, and we anticipate similar success in the UK. The product has been appreciated for its energy efficiency, health benefits, user-friendliness, and adaptability in various installation scenarios. It’s going to be a game-changer in providing better indoor air quality for smaller living spaces.”
The ComfoAir Flex unit is available in two versions – Zehnder ComfoAir Flex 250, for properties up to 200m² and Zehnder ComfoAir Flex 350, for properties up to 250m².
