Passivent Aircool is a range of controllableinsulated ventilators primarily forinstallation in external façades incommercial and similar buildings.

The electrically-actuated dampers providecontrolled air intake and extract in naturalventilation systems, and may also be used for air intake or extract in mechanicalventilation systems. They are particularlysuitable for night cooling strategies, wheredaytime heat build-up is dissipated from thestructure during the night, producing lowerinternal air temperatures with a reducedneed for daytime cooling or air conditioning.Natural ventilation methods can save energy,reduce greenhouse gas emissions, andreduce or eliminate the capital and runningcosts of ventilation or air conditioning plant.

Quality assuranceThe systems and processes by which theproduct are manufactured have beenappraised under BS EN ISO 9001 whichcovers design, development, manufacture,and installation (if by approved installers),giving an independently audited andmaintained assurance that the products willmeet their intended purpose.

Sustainability assuranceAll Passivent manufacturing is accredited toISO 14001, the international standard forenvironmental management systems.Passivent are committed to minimising ourimpact on the environment using recycledand recyclable materials where possible.

PERFORMANCE

Ventilator performancePassivent can advise on the number andsize of ventilators needed according toair flow volume required (see Services,back cover).

New and improved thermal insulation performance The average calculated U-value of the ventilators for the whole Aircool range has been improvedto 0.86W/m2K in wall applications, one of the best in its class.

Fire performanceMaterials used for internal frame anddampers when closed achieve a Class 1rating when tested to BS 476: Part 7.

Weather performanceThe external louvres provide 98.6%(Class B) rain rejection whenindependently tested at BSRIA to BS EN 13030. When tested to BS EN 1027 the closed ventilators arewatertight at over 1000Pa pressure.

Air leakage performanceWhen tested the air leakage rate of theclosed ventilators is 0.57 m3/hour/m at50Pa pressure. The linear metre lengthis defined as the perimeter of the unitplus the total length of the louvre-to-louvre contact. This equates to anapproximate value in terms of face areaof 9.7m3/hour/m2 at 50Pa pressure(depending on unit size).

Controls and sensorsVentilation airflow is continuouslyvariable by means of 24V modulatingactuators. Ventilators can be controlledby Passivent’s range of thermostaticcontrols or programmable controllers,or linked to a building energymanagement system. Passivent also offera range of control sensors fortemperature, CO2 and wind for exposedlocations.

Modular applicationsAircool ventilators can also be suppliedin modular form, see page 10.

Exceptional design

Slim and sleekThe unit is one of the slimmest in itsclass due to its unique internal design.Its aesthetic, contemporary look andflexible design means that it can bemounted exposed or, if preferred, within a bulkhead.

VersatileIt can be fitted to external facades,including all forms of wall construction,curtain walling and window profiles.

QuietThe ventilator utilises silent,controllable insulated dampers from theAircool range. The system can be used to meet the acoustic requirements ofBB93.

Energy efficientThanks to the energy-efficient fan andthe ultra-energy-efficient passive mode,power consumption is kept to aminimum.

ScalableOne unit can accommodate up to 16occupants. The addition of a second unitcan accommodate up to 32 per room.

Mixing modeIn winter, colder spring and autumn periods the Hybrid Plus2 Aircool tempers the incoming air with warmer internal airbefore it enters the space, thereby minimisingthe risk of cold draughts for the occupants. By mixing and utilising any excess of heatgains within the space, there is no need to use additional energy to warm the fresh air.

Warm internal air enters the unit at ceilinglevel and is also discharged across the ceilingonce mixed to ensure thermal comfort levelsare the highest possible.

Cooling modeIn peak summer conditions, the energy-efficient, low power fan can beactivated to promote air movement, keepingthe ventilation strategy operating andtemperature under control.

When the building encounters high heatgains, the fan can be activated to purge the space more rapidly than a passiveventilation system. The fan speed willautomatically adjust to suit the temperatureand CO2 requirements within the space.

Passive modeDue to the low airflow resistance of thesystem, the Hybrid Plus2 Aircool is able tooperate in a passive mode without any needfor fan assistance. This mode offers single-sided ventilation to provide an equivalentarea of 0.054m2 and is highly cost-effectivedue to the lack of energy required tomotorise the fan unit.

THERMAL AIRCOOL

The Passivent Thermal Aircool has beenspecifically designed to supply buildings withwarm, fresh air during cooler weatherparticularly when the Hybrid Plus2 Aircoolis not suitable due to inadequate availabilityof “free heat” from the room itself or arequirement for higher airflows than can beprovided when in passive mode.

The Thermal Aircool will also provide afresh air inlet in warmer conditions, whenair warming is not required thus providefresh air ventilation throughout the year anda secure night cooling strategy in warmerweather.

The Thermal Aircool system incorporates alow resistance airflow heater coil, which hasbeen specially designed for naturalventilation systems and is connected into themain central heating system of the building.An integral sensor clipped to the coil reportsthe temperature of the incoming air so thatthe water flow and temperature can beregulated via third party heating controls.When combined with the Passivent range ofnatural ventilation controllers, themotorised damper ensures the correct level of ventilation is supplied.

The Thermal Aircool also incorporates allthe features and benefits of the standardAircool (see page 4).

ACOUSTIC AIRCOOL

The Acoustic Aircool range is available inwall and window versions. The range hasbeen developed to meet increasedregulation requirements for soundreduction, and the increased noiseexposure resulting from the greater use ofbrownfield sites.

Independent test data to BS EN 20140-10,ISO 140-10:1991 is available on request,with detailed performance figures for eachapplication.

Depending on requirements, acousticventilators may have a single or doublerow of internal acoustic chevrons, acousticliners. For special high noise reductionrequirements, Passivent can design andmanufacture bespoke ventilators tomaximise sound reduction and minimiseairflow resistance so as to achieve targetair change rates.

Passivent Aircool acoustic façadeventilators can be complemented byPassivent Soundscoop� and SoundscoopiAT (intelligent airflow technology)acoustic ventilators for internal airtransfer.

This broader product range providesdesigners with the opportunity to adoptcomplete natural ventilation solutionswhere buildings have high external noiselevels.

Passive stack ventilationThis design using passive stack ventilationwas successfully adopted in a multi-storeybuilding to meet fire regulations and reducerisk of ‘cross talk’ (ie sound leakage between floors).

Natural ventilation was achieved by passiveinduced cross ventilation before entering thestack. Fresh air was introduced at thewindows and drawn across rooms, thenthrough Aircool dampers, and extracted athigh level through Aircool windowventilators located at the top of the lightwell/stack.

Aircool insulated dampers were used incombination with fire dampers to maintainthe integrity of fire protection betweenfloors. Acoustic chevrons were fitted behindthe Aircool dampers to the louvres to provideacoustic attenuation between floors. Aircooldampers positioned in the rooms gave theusers controllability with individual room airvolume control, and provided thermalinsulation during unoccupied periods.
