Overview

Vent-Axia LoCarbon fans feature LoCarbon long life DC energy saving motors that last 5 times longer than conventional motors, whilst delivering up to 80% energy savings. The extended life of Lo Carbon fans is due to the use of a new generation of high quality electronically controlled ball-bearing motors especially developed for this range. The motors are perfectly designed for the wet conditions of utility rooms and kitchens, extracting stale, moisture-laden air quietly and efficiently.

Shutters
Vent-Axia Lo Carbon fans have instant shutters using patented Integral Magnetronic Control (IMC) technology ensuring that the fan is only open to the outside world when it is working - with no extra power used to operate the shutter. This means that the only air to escape is the air extracted. When the fan stops the shutter closes firmly, until the fan operates again.

Installation
The range is suitable for installation in panels, walls or windows using the kits available. Lo Carbon fans are quick and simple to fit using reversible grommets and easy-wire terminals, and are suitable for wall or ceiling mounting at any angle.

150mm telescopic wall kits are available with a white or brown outside grille. The kit is supplied with a telescopic wall sleeve to fit walls 225–360mm thick.

Window fitting kits are available for use with all Lo Carbon 150mm models through single or double glazed windows up to 40mm thick. The range meets the requirements of the current Building Regulations Document F for the ventilation of utility rooms 30l/s and for kitchens 60l/s.
