This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
1.0 Introduction
The Brookvent aircycle 1.2 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 93% 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.

2.0 Safety
The following information must be read carefully to ensure safe installation and
operation of the Brookvent HRV system.
2.1 General Safety
Do not use this appliance for functions other than those described in this booklet.
Never touch the appliance with wet hands.
The unit is only suitable for 230 VAC/50Hz electric mains.
Never modify the fan or electronics, all repairs must be conducted by Brookvent.
Never connect the power if electronics cover is not fitted.
Do not store inflammable products in close proximity to the unit.
If cleaning/ dusting the external surface, do so with a dry cloth only.
2.2 Responsibility of the Installer
Correct Installation, balancing and commissioning of the MHRV unit.
Record measured air flow volumes on each of the valves at High and Low rate.
Compliance to requirements and local additional rules.
Explanation of the ventilation system to the user.
Warning for the user, to check or replace the air filters on time.
All the above, as set out in the latest edition of the Domestic Ventilation
Compliance Guide and the SAP Appendix Q –Installation Guide and Checklist
specific to the UK market.
2.3 Responsibility of the Occupant
Replacement of the filters as per the recommended/ required interval.
Cleaning the valves in the rooms regularly to prevent blockage.
To ensure that the system is functioning properly on a regular basis
To use manual boost switches (where provided) to prevent build-up of pollutants
or mould growth.

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

4.0 Installation
It is important that the full installation of this system is carried out by competent persons,
including all electrical works and connections being completed by a qualified electrician.
The MVHR unit is designed to be installed indoors, within an attic, storage cupboard, or
void space, away from exposure to frost, water, or intense heat. The system should be
installed in a ventilated space.
A clear access space is required around the unit; this will ensure ease of installation
relating to ductwork, wiring, and the connection of the condensate drain. It is important
that filters to the system can also be accessed for replacement.

4.2 Ductwork and Connections
To comply with SAP Appendix Q, and to facilitate the air flow performance, all ducting
used should be rigid. If flexible ducting is required, it should be kept to an absolute
minimum of 300mm and kept taut as per the Domestic Compliance Guide (Part F: Eng
and Wales 2010).
The spigots on the Brookvent aircycle 1.2 systems are suitable for connection to 125mm
diameter round pipe.
The label on top of the unit clearly identifies which spigot should be connected to which
ducting route within the dwelling. This is also shown clearly within this manual.
For optimum efficiency and performance, it is recommended that 125mm diameter
round pipe is used (where possible) to connect to the spigots and continue throughout
the dwelling, this will assist in keeping pressure losses to a minimum. A minimum straight
vertical run of 300mm should also be used directly off each spigot (where possible).
Where it is not possible to continue throughout the dwelling in rigid 125mm diameter
round pipe due to the void spaces available, a conversion to rigid 204mm x 60mm flat
rectangular ducting is recommended. It is recommended that the number of bends in the
ducting system is kept to a minimum.
Each of the external roof terminals / wall terminals must be the equivalent to the open
area of 125mm diameter round pipe.
To facilitate air circulation within the dwelling there must be a minimum of 10mm
undercut on each of the doors (to the finished floor) within the dwelling (or grills placed
at low level on the doors).
Extract air valves should be placed in all wet rooms (kitchen, utility, en-suite, etc.) and
should be sited, where possible, close to the main source of humidity/ pollutant.
Fresh supply air valves should be placed in all habitable rooms (bedroom, living room,
dining room, etc.).
Air valves should be locked upon commissioning so that they are tamper proof.
Duct designs/ layouts should always be adhered to if provided.
The Domestic Compliance Guide: Eng. and Wales 2010 or relevant equivalent dependent
upon local guidelines, should be adhered to in terms of installation practices.

HRV systems generate considerable amounts of moisture due to their high Heat
Recovery Efficiency; this moisture must be drained from the system to a suitable
discharge location.
The aircycle 1.2 is supplied complete with a centralised drainage connection on the
bottom of the unit.
Brookvent recommend the use of a 32mm “Waterless Dry Trap” on HRV systems (as
shown above) to prevent the back flow of air into the HRV unit from the waste discharge
system.
It is imperative that there is a gravitational fall from the unit to the discharge point
ensuring that the water drains from the unit. A minimum fall of 5 Degrees should be
ensured throughout. Drainage piping/ connections should be insulated if located in cold
roof spaces. NB. Dry trap (Not Incl.) must be fitted with a 10 Degree fall at that point.
Drainage piping/ connections should be insulated if located in cold roof spaces.
DO NOT connect other condensate pipes from the system or other systems BEFORE the
