Brink MVHR Flair 300 enthalpy vs. ComfoAir Q350 MVHR enthalpy

[Alan Ambrose]

Apologies for another brand comparison re-hash:

 

The Brink is about £3.9K vs. £2.3K for the Zehnder i.e. about 70% premium.

 

This is for a requirement of 160 normal/210 boost m^3 /h and so the Brink is about 1.9X oversize and the Zehnder 2.2X.

 

Am I missing something?

And a bonus question - assuming a bit of wired switch / app control - what connectivity options have you chosen for each of these.

 

I see this for the Zehnder:

 

 

and this for the Ubbink:

For anyone following along at home:

 

The difference between the Brink Flair 400 and the Brink Flair 400 Plus is the inclusion of an upgraded Plus PCB board (i.e. it includes the UWA2-E board). This enables "the Brink Home online and app control via (W)LAN internet connectivity and also extra analog inputs, digital inputs, and terminal connections for advanced accessories like post-heaters or complex multi-zone sensor setups." The base model includes "standard connectivity like eBus, Modbus for building management, RJ12, and USB port for an RF dongle. Also, basic local control via integrated display or 4-way switch."

 

Price difference is about £300 - in the UK I think by buying the 'E' board separately.

The Zehnder box seems to require the 'ComfoConnect PRO' add-on at about £250 for LAN / wireless / modbus.
