Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow Wall Mounted Kit

Designed to mitigate overheating conditions in the warmer months meeting the requirements of Residential Part O and TM59 standards. Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow is Vent-Axia’s latest flagship mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system combined with our Intelligent Econiq Cool-Flow Module. Designed in the UK, it offers the highest level of comfort and functionality all year round.

Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow is a self-contained solution designed to fit within a POD or standard utility cupboard. Connection to the unit will be made utilising the 200mm spigots and Vent-Axia’s Thermflow ducting which will have a thermal conductivity of no less than 0.038 W/(m·K).

In the cooler months the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow provides up to 93% Heat Recovery ensuring heating bills are kept to an absolute minimum, in the warmer months our Intelligent 100% summer bypass will ensure free cooling is used wherever possible to ensure the internal comfort temperature is not exceeded. 

If the 100% automatic intelligent summer bypass is not able to utilise internal/external free cooling conditions to reduce overheating, 
Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow will automatically detect excessive increase in temperature within the dwelling. This will operate until the internal dwelling comfort temperature is met to ensure the dwelling does not overheat beyond Part O and TM59 parameters or the comfort temperatures set by the user.

Manual boost is also possible for the end user if they wish to override the automatic cooling mode as is the ability to turn then cooling on/off.

Air Quality and Health
The MVHR filter options offer numerous benefits, including improved indoor air quality by removing allergens and particulate matter. They maintain the system’s energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, and enhance the overall longevity of the system. Additionally, they capture bacteria, viruses and VOCs, promoting a healthier living environment. Regular filter maintenance extends the system’s life span and ensures uninterrupted operation.

Whatever the outside environment, the system can help improve the indoor air quality by filtering out impurities, with ISO 60% Coarse (G4) supplied as standard, which can filter out sand, fine hair and particles larger than 10μm. Additional filtration can be achieved with a selection of optional filters, such as ISO ePM10 (M5), which can filter pollen, stone dust and particles smaller or equal to 10μm and ISO ePM2.5 (F7), which can filter out mould spores, bacteria and particles smaller or equal to 2.5μm.

The various sensor options allow for flexible installation in individual rooms, supporting effective management of the air in the home. For example, a wireless temperature sensor located within a habitable room helps ensure a healthy and safe environment. A humidity sensor located in the bathroom detects high levels of moisture can support good indoor air quality. CO2 sensors can ensure the ppm levels are managed to help promote cognitive function.

Low Noise Levels
The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow is one of the quietest combined MVHR and cooling systems on the market. The range is designed with an integral acoustic enclosure, made of steel, foam and expanded polypropylene (EPP), minimising breakout noise. The highly efficient motors are mounted on anti-vibration mounts to mitigate vibration transmission. 

MVHR Demand Control Ventilation
The Vent-Axia Connect smartphone application allows a multitude of functions to be adjusted from the comfort of the sofa, available on iOS and Android. With smartphone-compatible controls, the homeowner is in full control of their ventilation all year round. They have the flexibility to increase the ventilation rate during hot periods in the summer or reducing the speed to minimise running costs while away. The Sentinel control logic built within the MVHR ensures the system operates optimally with automated functions such as frost protection, summer bypass and cooling providing comfort in the home. 

The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq is Vent-Axia’s latest flagship mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system. Designed and developed in the UK, it offers the highest level of comfort and functionality all year round.

Introducing a full range of products, with air performance suitable for all types of homes, the new Sentinel-X wireless controls platform delivers complete control over the home environment, provided through a full range of wired/wireless sensors and a smartphone app. 

Cooling Unit Control Strategy
The MVHR controller shall automatically switch between heat recovery, summer bypass and active cooling via the Econiq Cool-Flow Module, continuously measuring internal & external temperatures to maintain comfort thresholds efficiently. The Econiq Cool-Flow Module can only be activated if both MVHR fans are running. In addition to the standard automatic cooling, provision shall also be made to allow active cooling to be disabled and enabled: 
Cooling permanently switched off – the user may choose to isolate the Econiq Cool-Flow Module from the mains. As such the power supply should be monitored so as to not flag a fault under these (intentional) conditions 
Cooling disabled off by schedule – the user may choose either a weekly or databased schedule (e.g. Holiday mode) to prevent Econiq Cool-Flow Module to be active for the duration. 
Cooling enabled user override – Such as using a switch input on the MVHR overriding demand for cooling regardless of settings/schedules. The cooling unit will have additional temperature sensors built-in and flow rates may be increased automatically to ensure internal component temperatures are not exceeded, Econiq Cool-Flow Module may be temporarily disabled for a period to allow the compressor to cool down in extreme cases.

A Whole New Experience
The highly sculpted interior surfaces, designed using the latest CFD techniques, ensure airflows are maximised through the unit, minimising noise and energy use. This feature alone provides an experience, that will delight homeowners, providing the most discrete and highly efficient ventilation available.

Integral Humidity Sensor
The integral humidity sensor increases speed in proportion to relative humidity levels, saving energy and reducing noise. The sensor also reacts to small but rapid increases in humidity, even if the normal trigger threshold is not reached. This unique feature ensures adequate ventilation, even for the smallest wet room. The nighttime relative humidity setback feature suppresses nuisance tripping as humidity gradually increases with falling temperatures.
