Lo-Carbon HR25
Overview
The through the wall Lo-Carbon HR25 range provides a low voltage solution for wet rooms and comes with 3 control options: pullcord, PIR and humidity versions, and available in two lengths. The units offer the latest technology featuring 84% heat recovery and easy, core drill installation. The 2-speed units are fitted with a 24V LoWatt Energy Saving DC motor with state of the art switch mode power supply. These units have the ability to operate at a power consumption of under 2 Watts running at trickle speed. A 5m cable is provided for fixed wiring the unit to the S.M.P.S. Requiring only 152mm core drill, the units are suitable for walls from 310mm up to 425mm thick.
Two speed performance: Low 20m³/h and High 55m³/h. For use in bathrooms and WC’s.
Typical Installation
The Lo-Carbon HR25 unit is designed for installation in a 152mm (6") core drilled hole. All installations can be carried out from inside the building. The standard units are suitable for external walls up to 310mm thick. For thicker walls extended models are available, suitable for walls up to 425mm thick.
Maintenance
Apart from removing odours, providing fresh air and recovering heat, this appliance extracts airborne impurities such as dust, dirt and grease. These gradually build up and detract from the efficiency and appearance of the appliance. Therefore to ensure peak performance, the appliance should be cleaned regularly. Filters should be replaced every six months or as conditions necessitate. The heat exchanger and grille should be washed in warm soapy water every twelve months or as conditions necessitate.
