USE
The ECOCIAT heat recovery unit operates on air from a CMV extraction system and is particularly suitable for hotels and
healthcare facilities.
This packaged unit is designed for indoor installation as standard.
An outdoor installation kit is also available as an option.
ECOCIAT extracts heat energy from the outlet of a building’s continuous mechanical ventilation (CMV) system and uses it to
produce hot water. The system operates with a high coefficient of performance, significantly cutting the energy bill for domestic
hot water production.
It is designed for installation in a domestic hot water production system. However, it does not replace the system's main source
of hot water, which should also protect against Legionella bacteria.
RANGE
