A house in the city, almost like in a village

For city dwellers, who spend most of their lives in closed box-like buildings, the healthy atmosphere of rural life is increasingly becoming a nostalgic dream. Few people still know that a few years ago a new product appeared that could change the microclimate inside any room for the better. A simple and elegant solution that blocks the path of drafts and dust, but opens up possibilities for optimal regulation of the air quality – we are talking about ventilators, providing a constant flow of fresh air without opening windows. Their design and “filling” makes ventilation comfortable and reduces heat loss. The pioneer of this direction was the German group of companies ZIGENIA-AUBI, one of the leaders in the window and door hardware industry.

There are two types of ventilators on the market today, differing in the place of their installation: wall and window ventilators. The models are designed to meet different performance and functionality requirements. Some have long been widely known in the professional environment. Developments, which have recently been increasingly ordered simultaneously with new windows, deserve a separate discussion. We are talking about window type ventilators.

Indeed, modern translucent structures “seal” the premises to achieve maximum noise and heat protection. The reverse side of such isolation is stagnant air, stuffiness, high humidity, accumulation of carcinogens and waste products. Endless airing takes discipline and patience. The way out is simple. Window ventilators are a system of chambers through which air enters or exits the room. They are installed in the area of ​​a double-glazed window, in a profile, under a window sill, while the material of standard walls and windows does not matter. At low cost and minimum installation time, ventilation valves delicately improve the microclimate – no unnecessary air movement and mechanical noise: the devices perform their work unobtrusively and invisibly to others. Due to their compactness and ease of use, window ventilators successfully solve the problems of high humidity and noise insulation both in one room and in the whole building. Some models, for example, AEROMAT mini, can be placed in a ready-made window.

A distinction is made between passive devices, which operate due to natural draft arising from pressure differences inside and outside the room, and active ones, connected to the mains, equipped with a fan, having advanced control and monitoring functions. All models work almost silently, the volume of the incoming air is adjusted manually or using the remote control. Even in strong winds and in a storm, special limiters will block the elements and maintain a moderate, pre-established air flow.
Among the innovations are ventilators equipped with heat exchanger chambers, due to which the room will not get cold in winter, because up to 50% of the heat, usually flying to the wind along with humid air with open windows, returns to the room, for example, this is how it works AEROMAT VT. Probably, especially in spring, special built-in filters will be relevant, which will reliably block the path of pollen and other allergens. As shown in summer 2010, this versatile solution also works for air filtration from combustion products..

Some models have been designed with the application in mind for conservatory atmosphere control. High performance air vents help maintain proper humidity and temperature levels.

In Europe, in all major cities, you can find entire buildings equipped with ventilators. Outside, they are almost invisible if they are installed along the seam of a double-glazed window, or look like an additional impost in the window opening, vertical or horizontal. In Russia, these ventilation devices also found their consumer. They fit especially well into the life of cities located in harsh climatic conditions from Vladivostok to Yekaterinburg, although the palm of success is still in the capitals. In homes, offices and government agencies, unpretentious helpers improve the microclimate of the premises and the well-being of the people in them.

All ventilators ZIGENIA-AUBIcan be networked and easily integrated into a building automation system, including air quality control, ventilation and shut-off monitoring. Perfect comfort is just one step away. It is possible to control the weather in the house today.
