 Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/01 23:06 GDay Everyone,
I have Brivis Addon Cooling (ICE) and I am getting poor volume of air from the outlets at the ends of the house. Its a 4 bedroom house with 13 outlets. When I zone the rooms off the airflow is a little better. I was considering getting an inline fan put into the duct work. I dont know where the best spot for that to go tho. A question I have is regarding the control of these inline fans. At the moment the heating/cooling unit is controlled by the Brivis Networker. Can the Networker also control an inline fan? Id love to hear from anyone else that might have any sugestions of input.

Cheers

John

 Re:Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/02 16:45 hello john. it really depends how the system was designed, perhaps the a/c is only designed to cool one zone at a time which is very common. an inline fan will help get some air down the other end, but i would try increasing the fan speed on the heater first. the brivis heaters will go from 500rpm to 1500rpm - see what it is set on and turn it up to 1500rpm.

the networker will not control an inline fan. you will need an electrician to put a switch on the wall or have him wire it up so when the heater is on the fan is on.... good luck!

 Re:Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/03 20:34 How do you increase the fan setting, is it an internal switch? or something a tech needs to set?

Thanks

 Re:Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/04 01:22 with the brivis MPS range of heaters there is an electronic control box inside the heater with a LCD display. There is a round button then an up and down arrow button. Pressing the round button will scroll through the options, from memory the first option you can change is the fan speed....

dont change anything else though - you may make the heater do strange things or stop working... Dynamic Heating & Cooling

 Re:Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/04 04:15 Thanks Mark, found it - was already set to 1500

Another question I have is what is required to add extra zones. Currently we have 2 zones up & down and the manual talks about a capacity for zones 3 & 4. Would it be possible to mix and match upstairs rooms and downstairs rooms?

We are the 2nd owners of our place, still trying to find out who installed the unit - wished you guys went out as far as Wantirna South!!!

If you can recommend anyone in the outer eastern suburbs please do.

Thanks.

 Re:Increasing Air Volume - 2008/01/04 15:49 yes the unit can run 4 dampers through the 506 module. If you have add-on cooling that will be running on the fourth switch, so you can only run 3 now...

with ducted heating and cooling you are limited in the zoning capabilities, usually living / sleeping zones is what works best, you can't really start zoning off individual rooms....

give brivis a call and ask who installed the system - if the warranty card was filled in it will have the installers details on there!!! good luck
