THE HOME OF FRESH AIR

Ventilation mattersVentilation is often taken for granted, which is a serious mistake. Low-oxygen indoor air causes headaches, tiredness and other discomfort. Efficient ventilation ensures that the carbon dioxide level remains sufficiently low. Ventilation also removes emissions from assembly and interior design materials, which are not always perceptible to the human senses. Sufficient ventilation also prevents the accumulation of moisture due to showering, sauna, washing of dishes and clothes, and simply breathing.

When the heating system is renovated, the building’s insu-lation improved, or windows replaced, the old ventilation system will no longer be sufficient. Updating the ventilation system safeguards your home.

Heat retention The indoor climate of the apartment (i.e. the air temperature, freshness, lack of draft, humidity level, and heat recovery from extract air) is given priority when energy-saving regu-lations are followed in assembly. The heat recovery system ensures minimum heat loss. Outdoor air enters the rooms without creat-ing a draft, since it uses the heat recovered from the extract air (and in the coldest days of winter a post-heating radiator). On warm summer days, the heat recovery system can be bypassed. With highly efficient extract air heat recovery, the heat stays inside the house.

The smart system controls the air quality The high-quality Vallox ventilation system measures the air quality automatically, and continuously supplies clean, filtered, and suitably warm air inside the house.

The system’s sensors measure the CO2 and humidity levels. The sensors ensure that the levels remain within the set limits. Ventilation efficiency is automatically boosted e.g. after showering or when there are many people in the house. Wet premises dry quickly after use, and the air is fresh also in the bedroom in the morning. The efficiency is lowered automatically once the washroom has dried or there is nobody home. The system is not only maintenance-free but also saves energy.

This ensures that the residents and also the building’s structures remain healthy. An automatic ventilation system makes life even more pleasant.

Choose Vallox and breathe easy!

Effective ventilation makes life more comfortable and protects the health of the house and its residents. Whether building a new house or renovating an old one, a smart and energy-efficient Vallox ventilation system guarantees clean and fresh air in your home.

The high-quality Vallox ventilation sys-tem measures the air quality automati-cally, and continuously supplies clean, filtered, and suitably warm air inside the house.

The roots of Vallox go back to the 1940s, when a state-owned metal industry company called Valmet began manufacturing fans for sawmills. In 1965, Valmet brought to the market a series of roof fans that could also be installed in residential buildings. The 1960s was also a time of intense migration to the cities and building of multi-storey apartment buildings with extract air fans. Later, the fans were integrated with cooker hoods.

In 1971, Valmet’s extract air fan pro-duction was moved to Loimaa. The energy crisis of the 1970s shifted the focus to the development of residen-tial ventilation, and Valmet brought to the market an air heating system that proved to be a popular choice in family houses. Valmet’s Loimaa factory was very innovative, and in the early

VALLOX OYA SHORT HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

1980s it developed the first ventilation unit with heat recovery, which eventu-ally became the most sold ventilation unit in Finland. However, in the late 1980s Valmet shifted its focus to the paper industry, and it sold the Loimaa factory. The company was then renamed Vallox (after Valmet Loimaa).

Vallox concentrated on devel-oping residential ventilation after selling the industrial ventilation operations to a Danish company. Since the 1980s, the company has focused on developing the energy-efficiency of its ven-tilation system. The company has expanded its sales to the export markets. In 2002, a German family-owned com-

pany, TOP Air AG, bought most of Val-lox and at present export sales account for half of the company’s sales.

When it comes to annual efficiency and specific energy consumption, techni-cal development of ventilation units that are equipped with heat recovery has taken significant leaps forward in recent years. As a result, these key aspects are now in good order in most ventilation units. Now the focus has shifted to the acoustic properties of ventilation units, as noise management is something that many heat recovery system manufacturers still need to learn to do better.

Acoustic product development is dif-ficult and expensive without an own acoustic laboratory. Vallox has decided to make a significant investment in the acoustic development of its products by building its own acoustic laboratory on its premises. Acoustic laboratory facilitates quick acoustic measure-

ments for heat recovery equipment, allowing to easily test different attenu-ation materials and structures.

Measurements make it possible to find the best material and structure combinations, therefore improving the acoustic properties of products by reducing the noise coming through the unit envelope, as well as duct noises. The acoustic laboratory will also enable quicker product development.

The measurement and analysis oppor-tunities offered by the laboratory will increase the company’s acoustic exper-tise. Proven solutions will be adopted in new product development projects. The aim is to manufacture increasingly silent ventilation units, which will ben-efit both the customers of Vallox and the end users.

Integrated humidity and carbon dioxide sensors of MyVallox ventilation units make ventilation easy. They monitor changes in the humidity and carbon dioxide levels of the indoor air and ensure that ventilation is boosted energy-efficiently based on the need.

The adjustment of ventilation effi-ciency is based on a simple mode selection, i.e. the control has been made as easy as possible. The user selects the appropriate mode from the following options: At home, Away, Boost, and Fireplace. The latter makes lighting a fire in the fireplace easier in an airtight house.

MYVALLOX VENTILATION UNITS ENABLE EASY VENTILATION CONTROL

More detailed information and statis-tics can be found in the free MyVallox Cloud cloud service, which enables controlling ventilation anytime and any-where through an Internet connection. Vallox’s technical support can examine a unit that has been registered with the cloud service and assist in problem situations once it has been granted permission to do so. The unit can also be connected to house automation by using either the Modbus or KNX connection.

The units have been designed for the Scandinavian climate, and therefore operate flawlessly also in cold weather. The electricity consumption of MyVal-lox ventilation units is very low, and their extremely efficient heat recovery from the extract air means that, at its

best, the actual heating system is rarely needed.

The supply air temperature remains at the desired level thanks to the partial bypassing of the heat recovery cell. This is beneficial especially in spring and autumn, when the outdoor tem-perature varies throughout the day. In summer, MyVallox units bypass the heat recovery cell automatically and use cooling.

The MyVallox ventilation unit selection includes the perfect solution for homes of all sizes. The units are excellently suited to all types of housing includ-ing low-energy and passive houses, renovated buildings, terraced houses, and apartments.

APPROPRIATE VENTILATION SAVES MONEY

In standard ventilation, the air inside the building is replaced at least once every two hours. As the relative humid-ity of air increases e.g. due to shower-ing or drying clothes, the ventilation must boosted. On the other hand, the efficiency of the ventilation can be lowered e.g. when the house is empty. When the efficiency is halved, the energy consumption of ventilation drops by more than half. This makes it worthwhile to adjust the ventilation based on need.

Sensors enable automationWhen the carbon dioxide and humid-ity sensors are used, the efficiency of the ventilation changes automatically depending on the need. This way, ven-tilation is never left too high for too long e.g. after using the sauna.

TESTED FINNISH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

*SEC is a coefficient that indicates the ratio of energy used for ventilation to the heated floor area of the house (kWh/(m2.a))

The features of Vallox ventilation units have been carefully designed, built, and tested.

The plate heat exchanger of the units never lets smells in the extract air back into the house, and the top-quality fil-tering keeps the supply air clean. The units are quiet and do not disturb the peace and quiet of the house. The sup-ply air is heated, which prevents drafts and makes the home more pleasant to be, including at ground level.

Vallox is a pioneer in the development of energy-efficient ventilation systems. Vallox ventilation units were the first apartment ventilation units in Finland to be granted an A+ energy-efficiency rat-ing by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland due to their excellent annual extract air heat recovery efficiency.

All Vallox ventilation units that are currently on the market meet the A+ energy-efficiency requirement of the

new EU regulation No. 1254/2014 that took effect at the beginning of 2016 (the specific energy consumption (SEC*) < -42) in a cold climate.

FEATURES OF THE VALLOX VENTILATION UNIT

* The defrost cycle is activated based on the cell temperature. This enables avoiding unnec-essary defrosting cycles and helps maintain a high efficiency level.

When the Vallox BlueSky ducts are used, they can be installed completely inside the vapour barrier e.g. on inter-mediate walls. In such a case, the temperature of the air that passes through the ducts remains stable, and the tightness of the house is not weak-ened by feed-throughs. The location of windows and protection against the sun have an impact e.g. in minimizing cooling need.

When the fireplace combustion air is channelled directly from outside to the fireplace, the combustion air does not cool the room.

Geothermal heat and a passive circuit can be used for heating the air in win-tertime, and for cooling the input air in summer by connecting an MLV duct radiator to the ventilation unit.

ENERGY SMART PLANNING

The planning of ventilation affects the energy-efficien-cy of your home more than you may think. Vallox ventilation units are energy-efficient and recov-er heat efficiently. However, attention should be paid to several other factors in addition to the ventilation unit.

In houses with natural or extraction ventilation, ventilation takes up roughly 20–40 percent of the energy used for heating. For this reason, the energy-efficiency of the ventilation system has a significant impact on the heating costs of the building.

A FINNISH CHOICEVallox ventilation units are designed and manufactured in Loimaa in Southwest Finland. They are genuinely Finnish.

EFFICIENT AIR FILTERINGVallox ventilation units have ISO ePM1 50% and ISO Coarse > 75% supply air filters that efficiently filter out dust and other fine particles. The extract air fan also has ISO Coarse > 75% coarse filters. Filters must be re-placed regularly. For this reason, nearly all Vallox models have a handy maintenance reminder function.

TESTED AIRTIGHT-NESS AND QUIET-NESSThe excellent thermal and noise insulation properties require that the enclosure of the ventilation unit is airtight. The airtightness of every Vallox ventilation unit is measured during production and the acoustic properties are verified in a separate acoustics laboratory.

ADVANCED DE-FROSTING AUTO-MATICSAll Vallox units have MC defrosting automation*. The ventilation unit operates reliably even in very cold weather with a high level of efficiency. No preheating resistor is needed, and both fans operate continuously.

A REDUCED NEED FOR POST-HEAT-INGVallox ventilation units heat the supply air to 17°C almost around the year by using only the thermal energy con-tained in the extract air. The need for additional heating of the supply air is so low that the use of electrical post-heating is recommended.

HIGHLY EFFI-CIENT HEAT RE-COVERYVallox ventilation units are equipped with cross-counter flow cells. The annual efficiency of heat recovery from extract air is over 75%. There are no moving parts in the plate heat exchanger. It is silent and requires no maintenance measures apart from washing.

Controlled heat recovery from the extract air heats up the outdoor air before it is supplied to the living premises. This means that heat recovery helps to save lots of energy, which translates into more money left in your pocket. New, high-efficiency ventilation units are capable of heating the outdoor air to +17˚C for most of the year with the energy that is recovered from the extract air. Additional heating is then not needed very often. For that reason, Vallox heat-recovery ventilation units use electrical heaters – the pay-back time for a water circulation heater would be extremely long.

In the EU, the thermal efficiency of a heat-recovery ventila-tion unit is measured according to EN 13141-7. In short, this involves testing the unit at only one temperature point: the extract air at 23˚C and the outdoor air at 5˚C, for example. But this does not say much about the true performance of the unit.

Everybody knows that water starts to freeze below 0˚C. In EN 13141-7 testing, the outdoor air is never lowered below 5˚C. All Vallox units are tested not only with EN 13141-7 but also with annual efficiency of heat recovery in mind. Annual efficiency indicates the average amount of heat in extract air, over the course of a year, that heat recovery

can use for heating supply air. This depends not only on the efficiency of heat recovery but also on the functioning of the antifreeze and on the weather conditions. For that reason, special attention should be paid to the annual performance of the unit.

DEFROSTING INTELLIGENTLY IN VALLOX WAY

- 21 °C + 21 °C

+ 6 C° - 8 C°

- 21 °C + 21 °C

The preheating resistor heats the outdoor air before it passes through the heat recovery cell. Even 65% of the heat generated by the preheating resistor is lost to the exhaust air.

The preheater runs in regular cycles when it is turned on whether defrosting of the heat recovery cell is necessary or not.

Ventilation units equipped with the Vallox on-demand win-ter function have no preheating resistor. However, some

Preheating runs in cycles Vallox on-demand winter function is activated only when needed

DEFROSTING WITH A PREHEATER VS. VALLOX ON-DEMAND WINTER FUNCTION

There are different methods of defrost-ing the heat exchanger. One of the most popular methods is to use a pre-heater. However, the heat exchanger does not know where the heat is com-ing from, so it just transfers heat from one side to another. For that reason, about 65% of preheater energy is transferred to the exhaust air. In other

words, a 1000W preheater will waste 650W of its heating energy in exhaust air that is blown outside.

Another way to defrost is to stop the supply fan during defrosting. In new houses which are built to be airtight, this method can lead to problems with getting replacement air.

models have an additional heating resistor, which heats the air only after it has passed through the heat recovery cell ensuring that 100% of the heat is going into the apartment.

In addition, the Vallox on-demand winter function is based on temperature measurements taken at multiple points in time. In this way, unnecessary defrosting is avoided, lead-ing to higher annual efficiency.

In Vallox ventilation units, defrosting is achieved by intelligently bypassing the heat exchanger during defrosting and using the heater to warm up the sup-ply air. This way, 100% of the heater’s energy is transferred to the supply air and there is no wasted energy.

Space no longer needs to be reserved for the ventilation unit in e.g. the bath-room, where space may be very lim-ited. In the kitchen it is elegantly out of view, yet easy to use and service. There is naturally plenty of space for implementing maintenance measures, such as replacing the filter, in front of the cooker top.

Quiet and fire safe - and nat-urally also energy efficient

With a maximum floor area of 75 m², Vallox 51 is best suited for one and two bedroom apartments, and for relatively small three bedroom apartments. The ratio on supply and extract air remains balanced also during the defrosting cycle. The integrated humidity sensor ensures that ventilation is also boosted automatically where required.

A VENTILATION UNIT THAT INCLUDES A COOKER HOOD SAVES SPACE IN A SMALL APARTMENT

The unit is rated in energy class A; equipped with an additional sensor, the class can be increased to up to A+. Also the extract air of the cooker hood passes through the heat recovery cell. Special attention has been paid to acoustic properties in the design of the unit that is intended for use in kitchens.

The metal structure makes Vallox 51K MV a fire safe ventilation solution for kitchen installations.

Vallox 51 MV without a cooker hood

The Vallox 51 ventilation unit is also available without a cooker hood (Vallox 51 MV). The unit is only 349 mm deep, which enables installation e.g. above a toilet seat. It is delivered with a door screw cover panel.

The unit is installed in the kitchen and combines ventilation and removal of cooking smells. Inte-grating the ventilation unit into the kitchen cabi-net enhances the use of space in small apartments in particular.

The Vallox Out/in Vario wall-mounted air blow-out and intake device ena-bles implementing apartment-specific ventilation easily in both new and old multi-storey buildings and tall buildings. This means that no space-taking verti-cal cable conduits need to be installed in the top floor apartments.

A patented structure - a smaller pressure loss!

The patented structure of the wall-mounted air blow-out and intake device reforms the adjustment of the blow-out speed: the device enables multi-step adjustment, resulting in a small pressure loss. Thanks to its struc-ture, the water-separation ability of the device is good and it does not freeze easily. This significantly enhances the operation of the ventilation unit. The device is easy and quick to install and does not require maintenance.

New opportunities for structural planning

The Vallox Out/in Vario’s air blow-out and intake parts do not need to be installed on the same side of the build-ing. This adds flexibility to structural planning and makes it easier to comply with the minimum clearances from factors that reduce air quality (such as rubbish bin shelters and nearby balconies). The handedness of the device can be easily changed.

A PATENTED STRUCTURE!

The device is available in four different colours. The colour options enable making the wall-mounted air blow-out device less visible in the facade, as it cannot, based on a regulation, be hid-den in an inset or a corner. In addition to white, brick red, and grey, the device is finally also available in black.

VENTILATION DUCTING IS EASY AND QUICK

Vallox BlueSky is a flexible, sound-dampening, and easy-to-install ventilation duct system. It is cost-efficient solution for renovated and new buildings.

Outdoor air duct system

Exhaust air duct system

Supply air duct system

Extract air duct system

Vallox BlueSky can be installed in con-fined spaces, as its outer diameter is only 75mm. When the entire system is installed in heated premises, it can be placed e.g. inside dropped ceilings or enclosures.

The system can be installed in the roof space or intermediate floor, or inside cast concrete. When the framework of the building is being constructed, Vallox BlueSky can usually be installed inside construction components simi-larly to electrical installations and the sewage system. No additional insula-tion is usually needed when installed inside blown wool insulation.

Vallox BlueSky duct is easy and quick to install. Thanks to its flexibility and quick couplings, no drilling or riveting is needed. Because the duct can be easily extended, very little material is wasted.

The ducts are hygienic and easy to clean, as the ducts have a smooth, anti-static, and anti-bacterial inner surface

Vallox BlueSky makes the duct system airtight and enables a low pressure loss, resulting in low energy consump-tion of the ventilation unit fans.

Pay attention to the ventila-tion of renovated buildingsThe air tightness of the building increases and air leaks reduce in connection to heating system renova-tion, adding of insulation, and window replacement. It is especially important to modernise the ventilation system at the same time, as energy savings must never be achieved at the expense of indoor air quality or the condition of the building structures. Insufficient ventilation causes moisture damage to the structures and makes them sus-ceptible to mould growth.

High-quality filtering is especially important for people with a suscep-tibility to respiratory problems. The Vallox ventilation unit filters pollen and other impurities from the outdoor air effectively.

Original Vallox filters ensure that the recommended filtering efficiency and air penetration are achieved, guaran-teeing that the unit works at its best. The wrong filter type can increase air leaks from the structures, or at worst can cause moisture damage to the structures.

CLEAN INDOOR AIRWITH VALLOX FILTERS

Fi l ters must be replaced often enough. Filters should be replaced twice a year, but in some cases they might need replacing more frequently, for example in areas with a high traffic volume.
