Compliance with Building Codes

The most recent laws introduced to reduce energy
consumption require compliance with a series of
constraints which concern the performance provided
and the energy consumption of ventilation equipment.
In particular, the 2006 Edition of the U.K “Building
Regulations Document F1”: Means of Ventilation (ADF
applicable in England and Wales) details 4 clearly
dened systems of ventilation to dwellings. System 4 ­Continuous mechanical extract with heat recovery
(MVHR) is complied with by the new VORT HR 200 ultra­high efciency whole house heat recovery ventilation
system.
In addition the unit fully complies with the requirements
of the “Code for Sustainable Homes” which details 6
levels of C02emission improvement over 2006 Building
Requirements. In order to operate in accordance with
ADF, the unit must be set by the installer to deliver air
volumes a stated in the Approved Document and as per
the extract of ADF on page 38 of this brochure.

Description and operation

VORT HR 200 (henceforth “the appliance”) is an
extremely high efciency centralised heat recovery
ventilation system that can be oor mounted using the
special optional kit or wall mounted using the special
hooks provided.
Normally, stale air is extracted from “service” rooms
such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries; at the same
time, fresh air from outdoors is ducted into rooms that
are normally lived in such as bedrooms, studies and
sitting rooms. The air ows required are detailed in
current national regulations; in the UK, the UK “Building
Regulations Document F1” apply.
During normal operation the total volumes of air
extracted and air fed back in are essentially the same.
The incoming and outgoing air ow are perfectly
separate and suitably ltered. During the cold season,
heat from expelled air is transferred to incoming air. The
condensation created in the process, which is collected
inside the product, must then be piped to the outside.
The appliance silently and continuously ventilates the
house removing stale air and replacing it with ltered
fresh air from the outside. Inside the heat exchanger,
which is the key element in the appliance, heat is
exchanged between the two ows of air and this
guarantees the energy savings that the VORT HR 200
offers.

Guarantee and responsibility

Guarantee

The appliance is guaranteed for 2 years from the date of
purchase.

• Should the appliance be dropped or suffer a heavy
blow, have it checked immediately by a Vortice Service
Centre.

• The appliance must be installed by a professionally
qualified electrician.

• The appliance must be mounted in such a way as to
ensure that under normal operating conditions, no one
can come into contact with any of the moving parts or
live electrical components.

• For maintenance work (e.g. removing the heat
exchanger), the appliance should first be turned OFF
then disconnected from the mains.

• The electrical system to which the appliance is
connected must conform to applicable standards.

• A multi-pole switch must be used to install the
appliance. The gap between the switch contacts must
be no less than 3 mm.

• The electrical power supply/socket to which the
appliance is to be connected must be able to provide
the maximum electrical power required by the
appliance. If it cannot do so, arrange for a qualified
electrician to make the necessary modifications.

• Switch OFF the system’s main switch:

• if the appliance does not function correctly;

• before cleaning the outside of the appliance;

• if you decide not to use the appliance for any

length of time.

• The appliance cannot be used in combination with
water heaters, room heaters, etc., nor must it be used
to drain hot water away from such appliances.

• The appliance must expel air directly to the outside
through a dedicated outlet.

• The flow of extracted air must be clean (that is free of
grease, soot, chemical and corrosive agents and
explosive or flammable mixtures).

• Keep the appliance intake and outlet grilles free to
ensure optimum air flow.

• Specifications for the power supply must correspond
to the electrical data on ID plate A (fig. 1).

Items supplied

The main appliance components are as follows:

• an outer casing and front cover in painted sheet metal;
the casing houses the intake/outlet hose connections
and the electrical connection box; the casing also
houses the internal components and heat exchanger
in an air tight housing;

• internal ducts in EPP (expanded polypropylene) that
distribute ow of air while maximising heat insulation
and minimising losses.

• the plastic resin, counterow, heat exchanger whose
particular shape guarantees the highest possible
efciency in terms of heat exchange (up to 93%);

• 2 lters with G3 level particle retention;

• 2 brushless motors connected to centrifugal fans;

• the electronic circuit board that processes power
supply, appliance commands and controls;

• a temperature sensor that is essential to stop the
formation of frost on the heat exchanger;

Accessories supplied

The accessories supplied as standard include:

• 1 x condensation drainage hose coupling

• 1 x condensation drainage hose;

• 2 x rawlplugs with hooks for wall-mounting the
appliance

Installation

The appliance must be installed according to the safety
regulations currently in force in the country of
destination, and the instructions provided by this
booklet.

Prerequisites

The appliance must be tted to an internal surface or
wall of the home that is structurally sound enough to
bear its weight.

The ducts used for carrying ducting must be of the
correct size.
Ducts to and from the exterior must be thermally
insulated and not subject to vibration.
The 125 mm standard diameter inlet and outlet pipes
must be xed to the corresponding spigots on the
appliance by means of clips or some other suitable
fastening system.

Under normal operating conditions, condensation
gathers at the bottom of the appliance. In order to
dispose of it, the small hose provided must be attached
to the coupling on the underside of the appliance and
connected to a drainage hose (see Assembly).

The appliance must be easily accessible for
servicing/maintenance purposes. It is important to leave
a space of at least 50 cm in front of the front panel to
facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the heat
exchanger and lters (g. 3).

Checks on delivery

On delivery, check the appliance for any faults before
proceeding with the installation. More specically:

• rstly remove it from the packaging ensuring that the
name and description shown on the box correspond;

• when the appliance has been removed from the
packaging, check that there is no visible damage then
make sure that the small condensation drainage hose
is present along with the instruction manual.
