The AUREN Intake Only Mode is a specific setting on the AUREN 160 ventilation unit that prioritises drawing fresh air into a room without heat recovery. This mode is ideal for situations where a large influx of fresh air is required, such as during crowded events or when improving indoor air quality is a priority. It operates at user-selectable speeds, ensuring flexibility and efficiency.
Understanding the AUREN Intake Only Mode #
The AUREN 160 is a single-room heat recovery ventilation unit designed to provide efficient air exchange while maintaining indoor comfort. Its Intake Only Mode is one of several operational settings that cater to different ventilation needs.
How It Works #
In Intake Only Mode, the AUREN 160 focuses solely on bringing fresh air into the room. Unlike its standard heat recovery mode, which alternates between extracting stale air and introducing fresh air, this setting bypasses the heat exchange process. This makes it particularly useful during warmer months or in scenarios where heat retention is unnecessary.
When to Use Intake Only Mode #
This mode is highly effective in situations such as:
- Crowded Events: During parties or gatherings, where increased fresh air intake is essential for comfort.
- Summer Months: When the external temperature is cooler than indoors, allowing for natural cooling without heat recovery.
- Air Quality Improvement: To quickly refresh indoor air, especially in spaces with high pollution or odours.
Benefits of Intake Only Mode #
- Enhanced Air Quality: Provides a continuous supply of fresh air, reducing indoor pollutants and allergens.
- Flexibility: Users can adjust the speed to match their specific needs, from low to high airflow.
- Energy Efficiency: By bypassing heat recovery, it reduces energy consumption when heat exchange is unnecessary.
How to Activate Intake Only Mode #
To activate this mode:
- Press the FLOW (F) button on the remote control repeatedly until the display shows the Intake Only Mode icon.
- Use the IMPELLER (V) button to select the desired airflow speed.
Practical Applications in the UK #
In the UK, where seasonal temperature variations are common, the Intake Only Mode is particularly beneficial. For instance, during summer evenings, when outdoor temperatures drop, this mode can help cool indoor spaces naturally. Additionally, in urban areas with higher pollution levels, it ensures a steady supply of clean air, enhancing indoor air quality.
