Product Description
Sentinel Kinetic & Sentinel Kinetic Plus
The Vent-Axia Sentinel Kinetic & Sentinel Kinetic Plus Mechanical Ventilation/Heat Recovery (MVHR) is a
heat recovery unit designed for the energy efficient ventilation of houses and similar dwellings, conforming to
the latest requirements of the Building Regulations document F 2010.
The unit is designed for continuous 24 hour exhaust ventilation of stale moist air from bathrooms, toilets and
kitchens. As the stale air is extracted, a heat exchanger within the unit transfers up to 90% of the heat into the
supply air entering the bedrooms and lounge.
In addition a Kinetic Plus unit is available that maintains a constant air flow independent of change in the system
pressure.

Sentinel Kinetic Summer By Pass Models.
The Sentinel Kinetic B, BH, Plus B , Plus BS, S BH, BS and Plus CVP are fitted with a Summer By Pass (SBP)
and will provide energy-free heating and energy-free cooling when the house temperature and ambient
temperature allows.
If the room is warmer than the set (shown as "indoor") temperature (i.e. you need the room to be cooler) and the
outdoor air is cooler than the actual room temperature (i.e. the outdoor air could cool your room) then the SBP will
open and the unit will supply cooler air to your room.
If the room is cooler than the set ("indoor") temperature (i.e. you need the room heating) and the outdoor air is
warmer than the actual room temperature (i.e the outdoor air could heat your room) then the SBP will open and
the unit will supply warmer air to your room.
Note that the above only applies whilst the outdoor air temperature is above 14 C (adjustable) in order to prevent
cold draughts.
