central ventilation

Clean air throughout the house

Want to install ventilation in your home? Then your options are central or decentral ventilation. Central ventilation is where the ventilation is controlled from a single central location in a house. Decentral ventilation is where you have a separate ventilation unit in each room or space that you want to ventilate.

You can find all the information you need on central ventilation for your home and central ventilation systems in general on this page.

What is central ventilation?

Central ventilation is where the ventilation is controlled from a single central location. The central ventilation unit ensures that dirty, used air is extracted via exhaust ducts from the house while fresh, healthy air flows into the house via supply ducts.    

All rooms in the house: the kitchen, living room, study/office, bedrooms and bathrooms can be ventilated on demand from a single central ventilation unit.

how it works

central balanced ventilation

The ventilation unit of a balanced ventilation system is usually installed in the attic of a house.

A network of ducts is used to feed clean air into, for example, the living room and bedrooms. At the same time used air, nasty smells and excess moisture is exhausted via segregated air ducts from rooms such as the kitchen, toilet and shower area or bathroom.

Central ventilation with exhaust and supply ducts

Brink Climate Systems offers a range of central ventilation systems. Our Flair or Renovent ventilation units make sure that used, dirty air is removed from the house via exhaust ducts while fresh, clean air is allowed into the house through supply ducts.

Both central-ventilation units have a heat exchanger. This ensures that the fresh air is first preheated before it enters the house. The heat from used, exhaust air is added to the fresh, incoming air in the exchanger.

The fresh air that is entering the house has already been preheated free of charge, as it were, to around 18 °C. So the last 2 - 3 degrees, to achieve a room temperature of 21 °C, cost a lot less energy, which equates to a lower energy bill.

Important: the house must be fitted with an air-duct network for this type of ventilation.

Central ventilation with exhaust ducts only

Thanks to our innovative Multi Air Supply system, central ventilation with HRV may now also be used in a dwelling without supply ducts. This is a substantial benefit, as Multi Air Supply offers a whole range of possibilities when sustainably refurbishing existing dwellings.

It can also be used in new-build projects, where this system provides increased design freedom and savings on construction costs.       
No air-supply ducts in your house?  Then the quiet, energy-efficient Multi Air Supply system is ideal for you!

Demand ventilation in response to air quality

Perhaps you only want ventilation where it is preferred or needed. With our Demand Ventilation 2.0 system, it is possible to adjust the ventilation rate to the real-time air quality in a dwelling.

The supply air to the dwelling is divided between the living zone and the sleeping zone. Guided by the air quality measured in the zones or in individual rooms, a specially-developed 3-way diffuser delivers air to the bedrooms, the living room or both.

FAQ's

about central ventilation

What is central ventilation? sort arrow

With central ventilation, the ventilation of a dwelling is controlled from a single central point. Foul air is removed from the dwelling via exhaust points and an exhaust duct, while clean air can flow into the dwelling via the supply ducts.

How is a ventilation system installed? sort arrow

A (central) ventilation system is often installed in the attic, but can also be installed in the basement or technical room. Foul air is extracted from wet rooms, like bathroom and kitchen, via exhaust ducts. A WTW ventilation system (usually) also requires ducts to supply air to living rooms and bedrooms.

An innovation in this area is the Multi Air Supply system, where the air ducts for supply can be omitted. A ventilation system is usually controlled by a switch in the kitchen and/or bathroom. But it is also possible to control the amount of ventilation automatically using sensors or a timer.
