Vent-Axia 414943 Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse 100mm HT-IAQ dMEV Extractor Fan
The Vent-Axia 414943 Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse 100mm HT-IAQ Extractor Fan is an energy-efficient, continuously running decentralised mechanical extract ventilation (dMEV) fan designed to improve indoor air quality, manage humidity and provide exceptionally quiet ventilation. Featuring intelligent air quality sensing, humidity control and timer functionality, this advanced extractor fan is ideal for domestic bathrooms, residential refurbishments and PAS 2035 energy efficiency retrofit projects.
With independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4dB(A), a sleek circular design and an IPX5 rating, the Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse HT-IAQ provides reliable extraction without compromising household comfort. Its fully adjustable airflow control platform enables straightforward commissioning to meet property-specific ventilation requirements.
Key Features
- Continuous dMEV Ventilation: Provides consistent, energy-efficient extraction to help maintain healthy indoor air quality.
- Intelligent Air Quality Sensor: Detects total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and automatically adjusts extraction rates when pollutants are identified.
- Integrated Humidity Control: Humidistat functionality responds to increased moisture levels to help reduce condensation and damp conditions.
- Timer Functionality: Supports controlled boost operation for effective ventilation when additional extraction is required.
- Proportional Humidity Response: Gradually increases fan speed as relative humidity rises, with boost activation at higher humidity levels.
- Ultra-Quiet Performance: Independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4dB(A) for discreet continuous operation.
- Low-Energy Lo-Carbon Technology: Designed to provide effective ventilation with reduced energy consumption.
- IPX5 Rated: Suitable for wall and ceiling installation in bathroom Zones 1, 2 and 3, subject to applicable installation regulations.
- Compact Installation: Requires only a 56mm ceiling void depth with a 100mm duct connection.
- Fully Adjustable Airflow: Variable control platform enables accurate commissioning and ventilation rate adjustment.
- UBA Air Quality Standard: Intelligent air quality monitoring designed to meet UBA requirements.
- PAS 2035 Suitable: Ideal for domestic energy efficiency improvements and refurbishment projects.
- Comfort Control Option: Delayed boost activation helps maintain a quieter bathroom environment.
- 7-Year Warranty: Manufacturer-backed warranty for long-term reliability.
Intelligent Air Quality and VOC Detection
The Vent-Axia PureAir Cleanse HT-IAQ incorporates an intelligent air quality sensor that monitors total volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be released by cleaning products, household chemicals and other indoor sources.
When elevated pollutant levels or unpleasant odours are detected, the fan automatically activates a proportional boost function to increase extraction and remove unwanted airborne contaminants more quickly. This responsive ventilation technology helps maintain a fresher, healthier indoor environment while avoiding unnecessary high-speed operation.
Automatic Humidity Control
The integrated humidistat continuously monitors relative humidity and adjusts extraction performance when moisture levels increase. Rather than immediately switching to maximum speed, the proportional control system gradually increases airflow as humidity rises.
The control logic allows proportional speed increases up to 85% relative humidity (RH) before activating boost mode. This intelligent approach helps manage bathroom moisture, reduce condensation and minimise unnecessary noise.
Near-Silent Continuous Operation
Designed for residential comfort, the Lo-Carbon PureAir Cleanse uses a quiet mixed-flow impeller to deliver effective extraction with minimal disturbance. With independently tested sound levels as low as 7.4dB(A), the fan is particularly suitable for bathrooms and other domestic spaces requiring continuous ventilation.
Its efficient impeller design provides an alternative to traditional centrifugal extractor fans in many residential applications.
Comfort Control Technology
The optional patented Comfort Control system is designed to minimise unnecessary boost operation during short bathroom visits. A delayed start can postpone boost activation for up to 20 minutes, helping maintain a peaceful environment.
If the bathroom light is switched on and off within three minutes, boost activation is prevented. This feature is particularly beneficial during night-time bathroom use, reducing disturbance to other household members.
Flexible Installation and Adjustable Ventilation
The Vent-Axia 414943 features a compact 100mm duct connection and a shallow 56mm installation depth, making it suitable for properties with restricted ceiling void space.
Its IPX5 protection supports flexible wall or ceiling installation in bathroom Zones 1, 2 and 3 when installed in accordance with relevant electrical regulations and manufacturer instructions.
The fully adjustable control platform allows installers to set airflow rates according to the requirements of individual properties. Designed with Approved Document F 2021 Building Regulations in mind, the fan supports modern whole-dwelling ventilation strategies and energy efficiency refurbishment projects.
