MVHR Controls
Intelligent ventilation control for your home Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery System is an important consideration when choosing a suitable ventilation solution for your home. At CVC Ltd we are happy to offer advice on the energy efficiency and controllability of your heat recovery unit. We use the following controllers for installed MVHR Units.
Brink Home App
All Brink MVHR systems are supplied complete with an onboard remote control interface as standard. Previously when consumers had a fault with the device, they often found it difficult to find the manual or understand the fault code.
The Brink Flair models are now integrated with an App for maximum system control and flexibility for the home user. The Brink Home App, allows the user to easily adjust the heat recovery unit or find and rectify any faults that may occasionally occur. The App also allows the user to access a list of dealers and installers.
The App will alert the consumer when a filter needs replacing. The Brink App also provides general information and news about Brink MVHR Systems along with a list of frequently asked questions.
Another very useful addition to the Brink Control App is the ability to link the MVHR System through voice-activated external devices such as Alexa Echo / Dot, enabling flexible climate control in an easy and user-friendly way.
The Benefits of using the Brink Smart Control Solution are:
Optimal Use
- Adjust the ventilation rate for your personal needs.
- Switch to a different control mode.
- Set the ventilation to absent / holiday mode.
Control the status
- Ventilation rate and flow.
- Bypass open/close.
- CO2 percentage.
- Relative Humidity (RH) percentage.
- The temperature inside/outside.
- 2 zone demand control active.
- Frost protection active.
- Filter status.
- Service announcements.
Efficient service
- Send the service announcement to your installer.
- Let the installer watch your system from a distance.
- Assess what is necessary and find a solution.
- The installer has a clear picture of the setting and parameters.
Brink SMART App Solution advantages at a glance:
- Check the status of your ventilation system at any time.
- Provides the installer with instant access to monitor your Brink Climate system from a
- distance.
- Remote control your system from home or when you are on your way home.
- Know how your system is working via the App on your Smartphone or tablet, or with the portal on your PC.
Other MVHR Controls include:
A wall-mounted 4-way switch to manually adjust ventilation rate. The Brink speed control switch allows the user to control the speed of airflow for when the building is occupied, not occupied or when a boost is necessary. The flow rates can be adjusted (preset at installation) depending on the size of the property and the ventilation requirements. The red LED warning light illuminates when filters need checking, this same LED will flash to indicate a fault on the machine.
The Brink Air Control Unit is a clock control unit that offers a higher comfort level and even higher energy savings.
With this system, you no longer have to think about when you need to ventilate because the Air Control module makes it possible to ventilate at pre-set times.
The Brink Air Control is suitable for the Renovent Excellent 400 and 300. The Renovent Sky 150 and 300 are already equipped with this control module.
The Brink Relative Humidity Sensor adds demand control ventilation to the Brink MVHR range. The sensor allows the MVHR to vary airflow based on relative humidity levels in the building.
- It saves electrical energy use (more important when running in summer bypass mode)
- It prolongs intervals between filter cleans/changes
- Ensures adequate ventilation when relative humidity levels higher than normal
- No need for occupants to remember to turn controls up or down.
With a CO2 sensor, the ventilation can be adjusted to the presence of CO2. At a high CO2 level the ventilation is increased. Conversely, the CO prevents over ventilating, which in turn contributes to extra energy savings.
The CO2 sensor has a long service life, is self-calibrating and has high stability. The CO2sensor comes as standard with a built-in version with an E-bus connection.
Up to 4 sensors can be connected to one device, with the highest co2value leading to an increase in ventilation.
