MRXBOX95AB-WM2 (with automatic summer bypass)


& MRXBOX95-WM2
The MRXBOX95AB-WM2 has been designed
with automatic summer bypass and the facility
to commission the supply and extract fans
independently on both minimum and maximum
speeds, in addition to the features you will find on
the standard MRXBOX95-WM2.

Both the MRXBOX95AB-WM2 and MRXBOX95-WM2 are designed


to provide optimised balanced (supply and extract) mechanical
ventilation with heat recovery. Tempered air is delivered into living
areas whilst extracting moisture-laden air from wet areas, creating
comfortable well ventilated homes. The heat exchanger block can
recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat. The two independent
fans have full speed control for background and boost ventilation
rates, as well as a run-on timer facility. Both units are listed on the SAP
Product Characteristics Database.

MRXBOX95AB-WH1 (with automatic summer bypass)


& MRXBOX95-WH1
The MRXBOX95AB-WH1 has been designed
with automatic summer bypass and the facility
to commission the supply and extract fans
independently on both minimum and maximum
speeds, in addition to the features you will find on
the standard MRXBOX95-WH1.

Both the MRXBOX95AB-WH1 and MRXBOX95-WH1 are designed


to provide optimised balanced (supply and extract) mechanical
ventilation with heat recovery. Tempered air is delivered into living
areas whilst extracting moisture-laden air from wet areas, creating
comfortable well ventilated homes. The heat exchanger block can
recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat. The two independent
fans have full speed control for background and boost ventilation
rates, as well as a run-on timer facility. Both units are listed on the SAP
Product Characteristics Database.

MRXBOX95AB-WH2-OH (with automatic summer bypass)


The MRXBOX95AB-WH2-OH has been designed
with automatic summer bypass and the facility to
commission the supply and extract fans independently
on both minimum and maximum speeds.

This unit is designed to provide optimised balanced (supply and extract)


mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, with a heat exchanger block
that can recover up to 95% of the normally wasted heat. Tempered
air is delivered into living areas whilst extracting moisture-laden air
from wet areas, creating comfortable well-ventilated homes. The two
independent fans have full speed control for background and boost
ventilation rates, as well as a run-on timer facility. This unit is listed on
the SAP Product Characteristics Database.

MRXBOX95(AB)-WM2
Nuaires First Fix and Acoustic Solution are designed to
not only reduce noise but to improve the installation
when wall or cupboard mounting the MRXBOX95(AB)-
WH1 and MRXBOX95(AB)-WM2 Units.

Offering the only complete MVHR acoustic and first fix solution to
overcome both noise and ease the installation of heat recovery units.
Nuaires solution addresses both duct and breakout noise, provides an
aesthetically pleasing cupboard installation for the home occupant and
reduces installation errors and time.
These units are also available in Opposite Handed format.

Typical Installation

FIRST FIX SOLUTION FF-WH1/FF-WM2


Nuaires First Fix box is fixed
to the underside of the floor
slab at first fix stage of the build.
The box has four airflow
chambers with optional positions
for 204x60mm spigots. Ceilings MRXBOX-FF-WH1
can then be boarded within the cupboard space easily and
quickly without the risk of the spigots not aligning to the fan unit.

SILENCER SIL-WH1/SIL-WM2
Nuaire has created a unique solution that is not only designed to
reduce noise significantly, addressing duct and breakout noise,
but is visibly appealing for the home occupant. It can be used
with or without the First Fix Solution.

MRXBOX95(AB)-WH1/ MRXBOX95(AB)- WM2


Nuaires Silencer and First Fix solution are compatible with the
MRXBOX95(AB)-WH1 and MRXBOX95(AB)-WM2 heat recovery
units, which are designed for medium to large properties.
