MRXBOX With Cooling Solution
What Is The Solution
Internal temperatures targeted year-round by conventional MVHR, even those with summer bypass, can contribute to internal heat buildup in summer.
Nuaire’s MRXBOX Hybrid Cooling System combines year-round high levels of indoor air quality with the added benefit of summer cooling to mitigate overheating. This added cooling significantly lowers the temperature of fresh air supplied into the dwelling, helping maintain comfortable internal temperature levels even in city centre apartments on the hottest days of summer.
Understanding Overheating
Daytime internal heat build-up leads to night-time temperatures too high for comfortable sleep, adding to heat stress and increasing the risk to health. Single aspect dwellings with large glazing are particularly susceptible. The move to ever higher levels of thermal insulation and airtightness, coupled with external factors such as environmental and noise pollution make it difficult to control internal temperatures by natural means. Overheating in apartments presents a challenge to developers and causes misery for occupants. As global temperatures rise, the problem will only get worse.
Why Choose a MVHR System
MVHR systems are a year-round, whole-home ventilation solution. They are a proven low-energy and highly efficient ventilation method, typically installed in a utility room.
MVHR is fast becoming the most common method of whole home ventilation for new build properties. Our MRXBOX systems work by combining supply and extract in one unit, moisture-laden, stale air is extracted from ‘wet’ areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms. The heat from this stale air is recovered via a heat exchanger, and this tempered air delivered into the living areas of the home.
The MVHR unit recovers heat with up to 95% efficiency, making it the most effective range currently available. In warmer months when cooling is required to maintain comfort levels, Nuaire’s MVHR Eco range offers 100% automatic bypass with no reduction of airflow. What’s more, MVHR systems provide continuous trickle ventilation to ensure a consistent level of fresh filtered air into the property to maintain adequate indoor air quality.
