Vort HR 200


Vortice kicks off 2010 with a brand new smaller size heat recovery system which will be launched at Eco-build in March. The Vort HR 200 which follows on from the highly successful Vort Prometeo HR400 launched last year and used to great effect in many high profile developments in 2009. Vort Prometeo HR400 is designed to the highest environmental standards, with a tremendous heat exchange efficiency of up to 92%. It has Appendix Q eligibility when installed on a ground breaking Kitchen plus up to 8 additional wet rooms configuration.

The main benefit of the Vort HR 200 is the compact dimensions of the unit make it small enough to fit into a cupboard space; the unit is ideal for apartments and smaller housing units. The Vort HR 200 will be SAP Q Eligible and is suitable for a kitchen plus up to 3 additional wet rooms.

Technical Manager Ian Davis said: “Nowadays market trend for new private and social dwellings is essentially focused on smaller houses and apartments, therefore causing a migration from bigger sized HRUs to smaller units. The Vort HR 200 is designed specifically for this market and, with the Code for Sustainable Homes embedded into its design ethos, it extracts from wet rooms and recovers heat for use elsewhere in the home. Together with the other highly energy efficient ventilation products launched in 2009, the Vortice portfolio is incredibly strong on eco friendly fans and heat recovery systems taking us forward to a more carbon friendly future.”

Vortice also launched the Vort Notus (one fan for any room), the Vort Platt ES (ideal for apartments and small spaces), Vort Penta ES (continuous running extract fan for up to 6 rooms) and the Vort Leto MEV (available in hard wired and radio frequency remote versions) during 2009, all of which will be on display at Eco-Build 2010.
