In houses with radiators, air heat pumps and stoves, the heat is often felt high near the heat source, while it is significantly colder a little further away. The same imbalance can be experienced in homes that have underfloor heating in only part of the home. But instead of placing another radiator or air heat pump in the cooler part of the home, you should strive to even out the heat from the source you already have. Lars Östlin, at Airmove.
-Yes. In our free consultation, we explain the principle of heat and air movement, and show which path is optimal through their home. It rarely takes a great deal of effort to make better use of their heat. Many people who live in two-story homes invest expensive money in a second air heat pump on the cooler floor, when they could have done with an air mover between the floors. Previously, many people bought an "airmove" to get fresher air in the house and then they got the heat equalization as a bonus. But today, it is the heat equalization that is the main reason, and the fresher air becomes their bonus.
Move the cold air instead
The Airmove 2.0 model, which Nordic residents primarily choose to circulate warm air between floors. Unlike other products on the market, it moves cold air to the downstairs, if that is where the heat source is located, instead of the other way around. Lars Östlin - CEO of Airmove AB adds:
-Then the cold air is heated, it rises up through the stairwell and the circulation causes the heat to spread throughout the house. In the summer, the advantage is that sun-heated rooms become cooler, when the air is circulated and the temperature is equalized. Anyone who usually uses air conditioning can save a lot of energy and money.
In extremely simplified terms, Airmove works on the principle of sucking in cold air, instead of blowing hot air, and Lars explains that this gives a greater effect at lower operating costs.
For air and heat movement between rooms, Lars recommends an Airmove 1.1, which is usually placed in the interior wall between rooms, to direct the heat in the right direction.
It is important to choose quiet operation
Noise level and electricity consumption are important factors when choosing a heat exchanger. The noise should not affect the peace of the house or sleep, and the fan should move the maximum amount of air with as little energy consumption as possible. Let's compare the models "1.1" and "2.0" which move 60 cubic meters of air per hour, with a very low noise level. In the highest operating mode, they move about 110 cubic meters.
It's no wonder that homeowners say "airmove" as a general term for heat movers; Airmove has saved a lot of energy for its customers since its inception.
