Domus Ventilation -
formerly known as Polypipe Ventilation – has expanded its CMX range of
Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) units with the launch of the CMX-MULTI, an
extremely compact and highly energy-efficient centralised MEV for use in
apartments and small to medium sized houses.
The CMX-MULTI has been
engineered to extract indoor pollution and draw moisture-laden air out of wet
zones, such as kitchens and bathrooms, depositing it outside for greatly
improved indoor air quality and environmental comfort.
Where the CMX-MULTI
differs from other MEVs is its small size, ease of installation and energy
efficiency. There is also a second unit, the CMX-MULTI-H which hosts an
integral humidistat that identifies changes in humidity and automatically
adjusts the air flow of the unit accordingly. The CMX-MULTI-H comes complete
with a run-on timer and ensures a comprehensive expansion of Domus
Ventilation’s MEV range, answering market demand for humidistat control.
The only unit on the
market at just 125mm in depth, the CMX-MULTI is small and lightweight enough to
fit into a standard newbuild cupboard, as well as lofts and even small ceiling
voids. Its clever design allows for installation horizontally or vertically,
ensuring ease of installation in limited or awkward spaces. Having three inlets
makes for optimum performance as they reduce system pressure by serving
multiple wet-rooms with minimal systems bends and t-pieces. A further aid
to installation includes the direct connection of the spigots to the most
common ducting size - 204x600mm flat channel duct. With many MEVs on the
market requiring adaptors and flexible hose to connect to flat channel ducting,
the CMX-MULTI is quicker and more cost-effective to install.
When used with Domus
rigid duct, along with the Domus Thermal insulation system, the CMX-MULTI
offers one of the most comprehensive MEV solutions available. Domus duct
systems offer improved system performance through the exacting tolerances and
engineered fit of the system, whereby pressure drops are minimised and air
leakage is virtually eliminated.
Energy efficiency is a
key element of Domus Ventilation products and the CMX-MULTI follows in this
tradition with an extremely low Specific Fan Power down to 0.17W(l/s) - ranking
it in the top three MEVs in the market today.
The external casing is
manufactured from expanded polypropylene, which not only minimises system noise
but is also very lightweight.
The CMX-MULTI and
CMX-MULTI-H units join Domus Ventilation’s existing CMX-S MEV, designed for
larger domestic and light commercial properties, ensuring energy efficient
mechanical ventilation solutions for a wider range of markets than ever before.
