Natural Ventilation – Hybrid Mode
Incorporating an ultra low power fan our new Mistrale ‘Fusion’ MFS might not immediately strike a full “natural ventilation” solution in the traditional sense however this modern fan assisted approach on natural ventilation does still allow us to harness this free natural cooling energy source reliably and efficiently with its “hybrid” features also delivering some significant added benefits.
One of the latest innovations in ventilation our new design “Fusion” terminal is designed to provide an extremely low cost ventilation solution with the added benefits of some element of heat recovery.
Unlike a normal full natural ventilation solution MFS is a dynamic hybrid that includes an ultra low power fan assistance feature. The fan is designed to energise in poor air movement conditions in order to ensure adequate ventilation can be maintained at all times. Whilst fan power assistance may seem at odds with a low energy ventilation concept it is important to point out that the fan is there to provide only occasional support and ensures that the terminal operates at all times to provide the intended heat recovery and ventilation requirements.
And it is truly energy efficient!
With an annual design consumption of just 34kw per classroom Mistrale MFS is a low energy solution yet still assures full operational ventilation and cooling efficiency at all times.
