Condensation on windows
By condensation, we mean the moisture that is naturally generated in the home through breathing, cooking, hanging up laundry to dry and so on. It is not often possible to disperse it at the same speed it was produced. These high humidity conditions combined with low winter temperatures cause water vapour to transform from a gaseous state into a liquid state, thus giving rise to condensation. The presence of water along with organic substances becomes the ideal breeding ground for the formation and proliferation of mould, bacteria and other microorganisms. If this process is not properly counteracted, these microorganisms can cause serious damage to the building and also negatively impact the health of the occupants.
The solution? Prana dMVHR!
Prana circulates air inside the home.
Prana recuperators solve the condensation problem. You can keep your windows closed to avoid losing heat, while the Prana unit simply replaces the air. If the outside temperature is very low, you can turn on your radiators to make the most of the heat produced. Simply keep the Prana on in Night Mode and you will not even notice it’s running – but you’ll definitely feel the benefit! Prana’s innovative dMVHR (decentralised Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) technology can reclaim the environment by deploying a combination of humidity, atmospheric, CO2 and temperature sensors to monitor the air and then bring in the required amount of clean, ionised oxygen via a copper heat exchanger featuring antiseptic properties. This process combats the formation and proliferation of mould and fungus spores and eliminates humidity.
Prana should ideally be installed in the room where condensation occurs. If that is not possible, then installing the system in the vicinity by will still have a major impact on air quality.
Prana products remove the excessive humidity and facilitate the removal of condensation.
Use the suction and discharge fans when you cook or take a shower.
Cooking and showering tend to increase humidity in the home, which in turn can cause condensation to form on windows. Activate the suction systems for about 15 minutes after cooking and showering.
Prana recuperator/ventilation units utilise an innovative system of sensors to monitor, correct and control the airflow in any indoor environment. These sensors are capable of detecting changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, air quality, CO2 build-up and humidity, enabling Prana to easily outperform rival systems on the market.
