Last year Vallox Oy moved ventilation into the wireless
era, which means indoor air at home that is easier to control.
"The wireless control system is easier to use than a
mobile phone," says design manager Olavi Suominen.
The ventilation is controlled, if necessary, by an adjuster,
or it is done automatically by carbon dioxide and humidity
sensors. Making it easy to adjust guarantees the ventilation
that is needed because the machine can be controlled according
to the occupant's own demands and wishes.
"A wireless adjuster can adjust the ventilation at any
time and anywhere in a home. The control unit also adjusts
the ventilation automatically according to the number of guests
in the home or whether it's empty."
Through the walls
The development work on the adjuster took into account the
continuous presence of the control unit in everyday living.
Emphasis was placed on design and ergonomics. "Ventilation
has become a wireless domestic appliance like music and TV
equipment. The control unit is a tool that is suited to both
the hand and interior decoration," Suominen says.
The planning of the ventilation also remembered user-friendliness.
Suominen says that the wireless control unit operates like
a mobile phone, although using it is only easier.
The unit does not need an electric lead nor does it need
to be installed in a certain place. Thanks to radio waves
that penetrate walls, the device can be used wherever you
are. Installation work is also quicker.
More energy
The absence of wires makes the home more pleasant to live
in and the ventilation more energy-efficient. The system is
an answer to strict energy-saving demands as it uses the heat
in outgoing air to warm up incoming air.
"The ventilation filters remove from indoor air small
particles caused by traffic and heating," Suominen adds.
Vallox's products are well-known in the most important export
countries i.e. Germany, Norway, the Baltic states, Switzerland,
Austria, Belgium and Poland. "The growth markets are
all the countries in the temperate zone that need heating
and ventilation," Suominen says.
-
A healthy home needs thousands of cubic
metres of fresh air per day.
-
A person usually consumes about a kilo
of food and two litres of water in a day,
but at least 15,000 litres i.e. about 18
kilos of air.
-
90 per cent of the air used during a day
can be indoor air.
-
In order to be able to breathe clean air,
the air outside must be let in once every
two hours.
-
The quality and temperature of the air
that we breathe affect a person's health
and comfort.
-
Indoor air has a particularly strong influence
on those who have allergies or are oversensitive.
