Vortice VORT HR W-ALL 100 DF Dual-Flow Heat Recovery Units
Introduction
The VORT HR W-ALL 100 DF series by Vortice offers decentralized dual-flow heat recovery units designed to ensure optimal air exchange in homes, residential buildings, commercial premises, firms, offices, and hotel rooms. These units are engineered for efficiency, comfort, and ease of installation.
Key features include:
- Absence of extraction and delivery pipes, simplifying installation and reducing management costs by eliminating the need for periodic duct sanitization.
- High heat exchange efficiency, low energy consumption, and low noise emissions.
- Simple and quick installation, making them ideal for new or renovated premises requiring high levels of environmental comfort and energy efficiency.
Benefits for the User
- Low Noise Emissions: Suitable for use in residential rooms, including living rooms, firms, and bedrooms.
- Adaptability: Offers multiple selectable flow rates to meet diverse needs. The ability to extract stale air from an adjacent room makes it ideal for studios and hotel rooms.
- Significant Energy Saving: Features low fan motor consumption (comparable to a 3,500 lumen LED lamp) and high sensible heat exchange efficiency (around 80%). This means that outdoor air at 0°C entering a room at 20°C will be approximately 16°C, significantly reducing the energy needed to maintain indoor temperature.
- High Comfort: The enthalpy exchanger maintains suitable relative humidity levels, ensuring comfort in both cold, dry, and hot, humid climates.
- Great Effectiveness: Six alternative flow rates allow for the best balance between performance, consumption, and noise emissions, adapting to various application needs and environmental conditions. Optimized fresh air distribution, based on CFD studies, ensures correct ventilation of the served room.
- Simple and Intuitive Use: Integrated humidity sensor allows automatic regulation of treated air flow. Control is available via the VORTICE App (VORTICE HRU) or through BRA.VO S sensors (air quality meters) via WiFi, without requiring extensive masonry work.
Benefits for the Installer
- Easy Installation: The enthalpy exchanger minimizes condensation buildup, allowing for disposal without ducts, even in high humidity conditions. The 100 mm ventilation ducts are easily installed using standard hollow cutters. Reduced dimensions, slim profile, and wall-mounting capability simplify installation, avoiding complex and costly masonry work.

Curves
Performance curves illustrating the relationship between airflow rate (q), static pressure (Pa), and power consumption (W) are provided for the wall-mounted and semi-recessed versions. These curves help in selecting the optimal operating point.
Diagram showing performance curves for VORT HR W-ALL 100 DF W Cod. 12484 (Wall Installation). The graph plots static pressure and power against airflow rate for different operating modes (Boost, High Performance, Performance, Quiet, Super Quiet).
Diagram showing performance curves for VORT HR W-ALL 100 DF SR Cod. 12485 (Semi-Recessed Installation). Similar to the wall-mounted version, this graph illustrates performance across various modes.
For the semi-recessed installation (code 12472), the air flow rate extracted from a second room depends on the ducting system's pressure losses. An example is given for a specific ducting configuration.
For the recessed version, the total extracted and introduced flow rate can be inferred from the provided diagram.
