The new Simply Silent fans from Xpelair feature the ability to set one of two speeds during installation providing you with two different extraction rates, 53 or 74 cubic m/hr. With two extraction rates you get two noise levels (22 and 34 decibels), the lower being marginally louder than rustling leaves. It also features an overrun timer to allow operation to continue for a set time after the light has been turned off. High levels of moisture mixed with anything electrical can be very dangerous and suitable protection must be given. The rating used for this is known as an IP (Ingress Protection) rating and advises where in the bathroom the device can be installed. These fans are IPX4 rated which offers protection from water sprayed from any direction. Features and Benefits: Extract Performance (m3/h): 54/76 Sound Pressure Level (dBA@3m): 22/34 Electrical Power Rating (Watts): 6.7/7.7 Specific Fan Power (W/l/s): 0.45/0.37 Two speeds - select during installation. IPX4 rated Sleek round design Dimensions: Height (mm): 178.5 Width (mm): 178.5 Timer controlled Extractor fans with a built-in timer control means that the fan will operate with the bathroom light switch and then overrun for a set amount of time to continue removing moisture from the air. This is great for steamy bathrooms, allowing you to turn the light off but continue with extraction for a short time. Recessed Design Recessed fans can be installed through a wall, window or alternatively the ceiling giving you that extra bit of flexibility. Axial Axial type fans cause gas to flow through in an axial direction which is parallel to the shaft where the blades rotate, making the flow axial at exit and entry. Axial fans are designed to create a pressure difference and force which produces a flow through the fan. IPX4 Rating This product has a rating of IPX4 which means it is protected from water splashes from any angle. Zone 1 Rated IP rating stands for ‘Ingress Protection rating’ and this helps us determine what bathroom electricals can go in particular bathroom zones. An IP (Ingress Protection) number or code is used here in the UK to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests. These extractor fans can be fitted within Zone 1 as shown below. Use in Kitchen and Utility This type of fan is suitable for use in a kitchen and utility room to give you an excellent flow rate.
