The Brookvent Aircycle 1.2 combines high heat recovery efficiency with exceptionally low energy consumption, delivering a comfortable, healthier indoor environment while minimising heat loss.
The Aircycle 1.2 has a heat recovery efficiency of up to 93%, the Aircycle 1.2 provides effective whole-house ventilation while helping to reduce energy waste. Its low specific fan power, from 0.53 W/l/s, further supports energy-efficient operation.
The system works by extracting stale air from the property and recovering its heat to warm incoming fresh air. This fresh air is filtered before being distributed throughout the home, helping maintain good indoor air quality while reducing the amount of heat lost through ventilation.
The Aircycle 1.2 can help reduce domestic space heating costs while creating a fresher, more comfortable living environment. Its ventilation and filtration system helps manage excess moisture, reducing condensation and the risk of associated problems such as black mould. Improved air quality can also be beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Summer Bypass
The Aircycle 1.2 has an automatic summer bypass to help keep your home comfortable during warmer weather.
When the outside temperature rises above 17°C and the indoor extracted air temperature rises above 21°C, the bypass automatically opens. This allows fresh air to bypass the heat recovery core, helping to bring cooler outdoor air into the home without recovering heat from the outgoing air.
The bypass will automatically close when either the outside temperature falls below 17°C or the indoor temperature falls below 21°C.
Frost Protection
The Aircycle 1.2 has an automatic frost protection function to help protect the heat recovery core during cold weather.
When the outside temperature drops below the factory-set 5°C, the supply fan automatically switches off for 5 minutes every hour. This allows warmer air from inside the home to pass through the heat recovery core without cold fresh air entering at the same time.
This helps raise the temperature inside the unit and prevents ice from forming within the heat recovery core, helping to protect the system and maintain reliable operation during colder conditions. Frost protection operates automatically, so no manual adjustment is required.
Just to note: The Aircycle 1.2 is a concealed unit, meaning its internal components cannot be replaced individually. In the unlikely event of a unit failure, the complete system would need to be replaced. If you're looking for a newer option, take a look at our Aircycle 1.3 range for an upgraded alternative.
