@joe90 I think your site is an exception as it is so very flat. Not sure how this affects the flow, but I suspect that most of the rain that falls on your place stays put initially. Unlike the A30 earlier which has a new brown river flowing across it

MVHR is Largely Bogus
SteamyTea replied to DavidHughes's topic in Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)
I thought I would look at my particulate logger which I am playing about with. Yesterday was very windy, even though my house is pretty airtight, I notice that the readings tracked the windspeed, even the lull as the storm moved East. -
Those choices are not colours, they are words.

This can be an indicator to a fairly airtight building. I get condensation on my windows after I have used the shower, never happened before I improved the place. Using heating degree days can useful to gauging how effective the MVHR is. Just a case of measuring temperature differences and energy usage with the MVHR on and off. Kind of thing that is worth doing when you go away for a week. -

Have you look at the times when you are heating? (and maybe cooling) Or are you assuming that anything below a fixed external temperature is a heating time? (just about to turn my heating off as it has gone above 10°C) -
Is it just no good, or a scam, as in never delivered.

Will make your tea and porridge taste funny as well.

You don't normally drink from the loft header tank though.

I agree, but it is free and a useful bit of software. What are those equations, be a useful thing to have in the arsenal.

Doesn't this sort of problem need many different solutions. So sound reduction, sound deflection, sound absorption, vibration reduction or isolation etc. I have used an FE program called LISA to do some thermal modelling, it also does acoustic modelling. https://lisafea.com/

Probably around 10% of the motor power, but you could put in some cooling pipes. Is it actually the motor, or the fan that is making the noise. The extractor fan at our place is noisy, but not as noisy as the the air intakes, and they have baffles in them. Is a good program. There was this in my favourite comic almost 18 years ago, I still think it was an early April Fools though. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg17323354-500-sculpted-sound/

I know very little about sound, but have you recorded it and then had a look at the wave forms. There may be a possibility to dampen out some of the worst frequencies. Also how about active noise cancellation.

Do you know how much water you currently use? There is no reason to think that it will change significantly.

Mvhr official testing

BUM Blower. -
They will charge you to set up the loan, and to pay it off. But between those times, they will only take your money. I work next to a financial advisor, he has a masaratti. I wonder if his customers have one too.

Have you looked them up at companies house and the IFS (or whatever they are called).

Alt+248 is also ° Alt+357 is e Alt+12 is ♪ Alt+11 ♂, just getting carried away now.

I am always making those errors, and transposing numbers.

Should that not be in cubic metres, m3

Which forum is that then? The warm up times will be a function of the power delivered to the slab.

You may also need a water extraction license.
