Vent-Axia has launched OPAL, a new series of energy efficient panel heaters. Slimline and stylishly designed, the low carbon OPAL range is an ideal wall-mounted heating solution for applications, extending from residential and student accommodation to apartments and hotel rooms.
The Vent-Axia OPAL range is available in five outputs from 0.5kW to 2.0kW. A variety of energy efficient control options are offered, including multiple zone control, holiday mode and frost protection, to keep running costs low and help achieve compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations.
The OPAL Series features either an electronic or mechanical thermostat as standard. The silent operating electronic thermostat is accurate to +/-0.3oC and acts quickly to maintain consistent levels and comfort. For larger installations, energy saving and controllable comfort is extended by the fully programmable central zone control options which enable up to 15 heaters to be linked together in an integrated system. Mechanical temperature control offers a range of pre-set outputs including an ‘eco’ setting that offers a balance between comfort and energy use.
Compliance with the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations can be achieved by implementing building fabric improvements, using electric panel heating and SAP Appendix Q listed MVHR heat recovery ventilation. For further information on compliance issues, specifiers should contact Vent-Axia direct on +44 (0)1293 441616.
“The OPAL range has much to offer property developers and other specifiers,” says Simon Osborne, Head of Marketing at Vent-Axia. “Its low energy performance is an attractive benefit on new build projects; it’s clean, 100% efficient and emission-free at point of use and also quick and easy to install with a range of different control options to suit application requirements. We’ve also created OPAL with discreet looks and a sleek design which makes it equally at home in a loft apartment or hotel room as in student digs.”
BEAB approved and IP 24 rated (splash proof), OPAL is easy to install on detachable wall-mounted brackets and is connected to a standard 240v mains circuit. Added safety in public areas is also guaranteed with the optional tamper-proof (or restricted use) control panel. An automatic thermal cut-out prevents accidental overheating.
Across the country, Vent-Axia has been working with property developers, local authorities, housing associations, regional electricity companies, key consultants, contractors and specifiers to further the benefits of low carbon heating and ventilating solutions. With 70 years as an influential brand leader, Vent-Axia continues to set standards in improving personal comfort by providing electric systems to control the flow of fresh air, its temperature, humidity and cleanliness.
