DREAMSCREEN CINEVENT WALL AND CEILING 150 BALANCED VENTILATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY AND HEPA

New from DreamScreen! Here you get a very quiet ventilation unit that is very easy to mount on the wall or ceiling, with very high air exchange (as much as 150^m3 per hour) and, not least, a super-advanced filtration system consisting of two separate filter levels (coarse filter -> HEPA). In addition, of course, the fan has heat recovery with up to 80% efficiency, which saves you electricity costs and makes it easier to leave the cinema room ready for use, even in the winter months, without the electricity bill skyrocketing.

CineVent Wall & Ceiling 150 is a robust, new ventilation solution for home cinemas or other living spaces. In addition to replacing air very efficiently, far higher than competing solutions from e.g. Mitsubishi, CineVent has a HEPA filter that removes everything from pollen to tiny particles such as the covid-19 virus. High air circulation is also important to keep the air free of these types of particles, and is essential to keep the oxygen level at a comfortable level when staying for a long time in a small to medium-sized room. The unit also has >80% heat recovery.

The unit can be installed in the ceiling or on the wall, but should be installed in a technical room if it is installed in the ceiling, or it should be built into the ceiling with access via a hatch. If it is built into a wall, you should consider using the baffle wall at the front (a separate wall used to install speakers and subwoofers in a home theater), where there is room for both the unit and piping.

Remember that noise insulation of the piping is important in a soundproof installation, there should be at least 2m of pipe and at least one 180-degree bend per pipe, either on the inlet or outlet. In addition, the pipes must be well insulated. When we design for you, this includes the ventilation solution, and we will point out that these types of conditions are taken care of.

INTRODUCTION

When constructing a functional home cinema environment, noise-proofing is a critical component. You want to be able to enjoy the audiovisual experience without bothering the surroundings. For noise-proofing, our ProSilence series is a brilliant, easy-to-install and highly efficient system. One vital part of noise-proofing your cinema is to hermetically seal the room from its surroundings, and as such, ventilation is required. If you connect your existing HVAC system, you run the risk of emitting noise through the system, and if you do not already have an HVAC system installed, the free-standing CineVent will provide your noise-proofed room with the ventilation required.

Our balanced air ventilation CineVent systems combines super silent operation, high output (150^m3 per hour) and stellar filtration (carbon + HEPA 13). In addition, as much as 81% of your in-room heat is recovered during winter time, reducing your electric bills significantly, allowing you to maintain a stabile temperature even though you might not be using the room every day. The system also cools down in summertime as a result of the air exchange, but since there is no active cooling applied other than the air circulation we do recommend a (reversed in summer) heat pump to help. Please note that although very helpful for controlling in-room temperatures, a heat pump does not exchange the air (which is required in a sealed room), it only treats the in-room air.

Our WALL & CEILING model allows you to install it inside your cinema, using two Ø100 ducts, one for the incoming air and one for the outgoing.

 

This model explains how the heat exchanger works. Instead of simply exhausting the heat within the room, >90% is captured and sent back. For a room holding 20 degrees, you would typically regain 18 degrees through the heat exchanger. For summertime, the exchange of air would lower your temperature a little, but in many cases we do recommend using a heat pump in inverse (i.e. cooling) as getting rid of excessive heat is not the primarily function of this type of ventilation unit. Please note, however, that a heat pump does not exchange air, it only treats the air within the room.

AIR EXCHANGE

The Norwegian TEK10 official guidelines suggests that the requirements are minimum 1,2^m3 air replacement per square meter plus 26^m3 per person within the room to maintain ^co2-levels below 1000ppm. This coincides with our experience in home cinema ventilation as well as the recommendations from our manufacturing partner. In short – each person produces a significant amount of ^co2 – and in relatively small, sealed rooms such as a home cinema this adds up to excessive levels if not properly ventilated.

For a 20^m2 cinema housing four people, the requirement is (1,2 x 20) + (26 x 4) = 128^m3. If only two people are using the cinema, the requirement would be 78^m3, but for 6 people, the requirement is as much as 182^m3 per hour. Most smaller in-room ventilation systems are not capable of meeting these requirements, even with as few as two people in the room, while the CineVent Wall, with its 150^m3 per hour in maximum operation, would be sufficient even if six people enjoy a movie in a 20 square meter room. If the air exchange is insufficient, the amount of carbon dioxide will exceed the levels of comfort, potentially causing fatigue, headache and overall a major implication on the enjoyment you seek from your home cinema.

The CineVent wall includes a front display, providing you with a live detection of the overall air quality in your room.

THE FILTRATION

When enjoying your audiovisual setup, comfort is important. The quality of the air is often underestimated, whereas an hour of movie watching, low quality air that might contain particles, dust and even bacteria might reduce your enjoyment and cause unnecessary fatigue. In addition to replacing the air in your room very efficiently, the CineVent features state-of-the-art air filtration. Even the tiniest of particles such as pollen is effectively taken care of using our 3-step filtration system. The CineVents combine two filter levels; first a washable early effect, carbon activated filter that takes care of the coarse dust, then a secondary 3M HEPA filter that removes most of the remaining particles.

The filter features composite fiber, sprayed with activated carbon powder, filters dust particles efficiently with very low air velocity reduction. This washable filter can be used repeatedly.

This 3M manufactured HEPA filter meets the European standard H13, and the PM2.5 removal rate is up to 99.97%, while the large dust holding capacity reduces the need for replacement to a maximum of two times per year.
