Fränkische’s new MVHR ventilation unit has been specifically developed for mid-sized dwellings.

Fränkische has added a new ventilation unit to its flex product line for mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR). The compact profi-air 360 flex is flexible both in terms of installation and air connection. The high-performance product completes the ventilation specialist’s range of devices.

The complete profi-air system contains all the components required for a sound and energy-efficient MVHR installation, including advanced pipe systems, well thought-out accessories and ventilation units for any requirement. Specifically developed for mid-size homes, the latest addition to the product range is profi-air 360 flex with air volumes of up to 360 m3/h. “Our new profi-air 360 flex ventilation unit boast exceptional performance and is flexible in terms of installation and use, and it can be easily operated by digital means,” said Tobias Fraas, Product Manager of Heat Recovery Ventilation in Fränkische’s Building Technology Division. “This is why it perfectly complements our range of products.”

Switchable air connections for profi-air 360 flex
The easySWITCH function is a standard feature. The air connections are changeable, which means that the ventilation unit can be easily set to right or left operation directly on site. Installers can therefore use the same unit in any installation situation, quickly reacting to circumstances. This is also advantageous for builders, allowing them to decide on the final location of the ventilation units before installation. Profi-air 360 flex can be attached to the wall or installed on the floor. There is an optional air supply connection at the bottom of the device.

Individual configuration of profi-air 360 flex
Thanks to the comprehensive selection of accessories, each user can configure their customised profi-air 360 flex ventilation unit. An integrated defroster heater ensures reliable operation even at very low outdoor temperatures. Along with heat, the optionally available enthalpy heat exchanger also recovers humidity. This prevents rooms from drying out even in winter, thereby increasing comfort levels. The sensors for humidity and VOC (volatile organic compounds) are also optionally available. The VOC sensor measures the air quality, and automatically adjusts the air volumes. Room humidistats are another option.

The profi-air 360 flex is equipped with the ISO Coarse filter class, which can be optionally replaced with the ePM1 filter class for fresh air. The base of the unit is less than 0.3 square metres, requiring virtually no space in the technician room. The device, which is currently awaiting Passive house certification, fits into standard cabinets with dimensions of 600x600mm, and thus blends discreetly with any surroundings.

Easy app control for profi-air 360 flex
It is particularly easy to control profi-air 360 flex by means of the profi-air cockpit app. End users can manually adjust the air volume, change the weekly programme or enable the automatic mode. They can keep in mind the interval of filter replacement, as well as switch on night setback or holiday mode if required. The ventilation unit can also be operated via an integrated control unit or a wireless remote control.

In the demo mode, installers explain the app functions to their customers regardless of the location and the connection to the ventilation unit. If the application is open, the users can select the ‘DEMO’ field that simulates active operation. To make using the app even easier for end users, all non-selectable fields are greyed out. The profi-air cockpit app is available for free download for iOS and Android gadgets in the respective stores.

With profi-air 360 flex, Fränkische complements its range of ventilation units that also includes the slim profi-air 180 flat (designed specifically for apartments), as well as profi-air 250 flex (for flats and single-family homes): All three units can be easily operated and conveniently controlled via the app. The easySWITCH function with changeable air connections is particularly flexible.
