The Homevent
systems, by using the principle of variable air volume, provide sufficient
air changes in a building to ensure humidity levels remain low enough
to prevent the formation of condensation. The basic Homevent system
intended for pitched roof buildings consists of a fan unit which is
typically installed over the landing, drawing warmed air from the roof
space and distributing it through the dwelling. The Homevent/F incorporates
a heat exchanger and is designed for fiats, and maisonettes; this unit
is intended to be installed in an outside wall, typically in a kitchen
or bathroom and has combined intake and extract grilles at each end
of the combined heat exchanger/fan unit. The heat exchanger will transfer
80% of heat contained in the extracted air to the induced air. During
normal operation, the unit provides trickle ventilation but, under the
control of a humidistat, it switches to boost operation to extract moist
air. The moist warm air is sucked into the unit parallel to the wall
surface while the warmed fresh air is directed to the centre of the
room. Also available is a range of axial fan units available in 2 sizes,
intended for ventilation and humidity control in bathrooms and kitchens.
The units can be wall or window mounted and are controlled either manually
or by an integral humidistat. In addition Haynes Manufacturing can design,
supply and install light commercial ventilation for clubs, offices and
shops. The company can also supply a range of roof and tile vents for
use in pitched roof; models are available which can be connected to
soil pipe duct-work.
