1.0 Introduction
The Brookvent aircycle 1.3 is a compact and highly efficient Mechanical Heat Recovery
Ventilation (HRV/MHRV) system, specifically designed for smaller dwellings and
apartments with restricted space.
The system should be run continuously 24 hours a day, and should only be disconnected
by a competent person during service or maintenance.
Heat Recovery ventilation works best in new homes, which are extremely airtight and
have high efficiency ratings. These dwellings require a high level of fresh air to ensure a
healthy living environment.
The system works by drawing stale air from ‘wet rooms’ such as Bathrooms, WC’s and
Kitchens, recovering up to 92% of the heat from this air using a highly efficient heat
exchanger, before expelling waste air from the home. Simultaneously, fresh air is drawn
into the home, filtered and warmed by the recovered heat and supplied into the
‘habitable rooms’ such as bedrooms, dining rooms and living rooms.

IMPORTANT
Dirty or clogged filters may cause inadequate ventilation in the home which may lead to
air quality issues. It is important that the filters are changed at least once per year or as
required.
In new build properties it may be prudent to check/ change your filters after the first 3
months of occupancy depending on the amount of residual ‘building dust’ present
within the property. Failure to do so will affect your warranty.
Filters can be purchased directly online from brookvent.co.uk
