“Heat recovery causes unpleasant drafts.” 🌪️
A well-designed system operates at outlet airspeeds of around 2 m/s. The design must ensure that in the occupied zone, air moves at a gentle 0.1–0.2 m/s, which is even less than the natural convection from a radiator.
❌ What can cause draft discomfort?
• Poor outlet placement or design
• Unbalanced system
• Excessively high airflow
✅ Solution: A professional design and balanced commissioning. Properly installed, airflow is so subtle it’s imperceptible.
🔥 ATREA technology:
DUPLEX Inter H units (e.g., 770 and 1000) utilize the Coandă effect – air clings to the ceiling and gently descends, creating zero draft sensation and smooth mixing of air across the room.
