VITAL'AIR QAI: The 1ère Dual-Flow VMC with Pollutant Detection Module

Humidity, smoke, carbon dioxide (CO2), cleaning products, pet hair, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and all the activities carried out within the home... are all sources of indoor air pollution. Moreover, while improvements in construction have made interiors more airtight and better insulated, they also contribute to greater air pollution, which can have a real impact on occupants' health (asthma, allergies, fatigue, headaches...) as well as on the building itself.

Proper ventilation of indoor spaces is therefore essential to preserve healthy air and the comfort and health of occupants, while limiting the heat losses and energy leakage caused by repeatedly opening windows in winter. To meet these needs, several solutions exist on the market, including controlled mechanical ventilation (VMC). Thanks to a heat exchanger, dual-flow VMC extracts stale air to the outside and brings fresh, tempered air into the home.

An expert in air treatment and ventilation for 6 decades, AUTOGYRE is innovating with its AIR'N LIFE indoor air quality range. The AIR'N LIFE VITAL'AIR QAI dual-flow VMC units can detect pollutants, and treat and purify indoor air.

Made in France, high-performing and energy-efficient, these new dual-flow VMC units guarantee both air quality and hygrothermal comfort, help preserve the home and limit energy losses.

VMC DF VITAL'AIR QAI 90
The new AUTOGYRE VMC DF VITAL'AIR QAI 90 from the AIR'N LIFE range is ideal for both new builds and renovations, for a home with 2 to 4 main rooms, equipped with one kitchen and up to 3 bathrooms/toilets. It is suitable for low-energy buildings and passive houses. With 2 speeds, it guarantees indoor air quality by renewing the air in the home, thus providing excellent living comfort.

An intelligent module to detect pollutants
The VMC DF VITAL'AIR QAI 90 is fitted with an electronic QAI module (detection of H2O, CO2, VOCs). When it detects a deterioration in the ambient air in the home, the VMC switches to a higher speed to eliminate pollutants. Once the air has been cleaned, the VMC automatically returns to its normal speed.

Enhanced filtration and better filter management
Thanks to its G4 filtration on the stale air and M5 + activated carbon on the fresh air, the VMC VITAL'AIR QAI 90 preserves indoor air quality and the health of occupants by eliminating mold, allergens, odors, VOCs...

A wireless filter management unit with an indicator light makes it possible to manage the replacement of the extraction and supply filters and to simplify their maintenance.

90% efficiency, 18% savings on the annual heating bill
Fitted with a class A low-power-consumption electric motor, the VMC VITAL'AIR QAI 90 unit is energy-efficient.

High-performing, it recovers up to 90% of the extracted heat and achieves up to 18% savings on the annual heating bill.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) VITAL'AIR QAI
Dual-flow VMC is a motorized extraction and supply system with heat exchange between the stale air and the fresh air. It expels polluted air to the outside and filters incoming air.

The stale air passes through a heat exchanger before being discharged outside. The fresh air, without mixing with the polluted air, recovers energy as it passes through the cross-flow exchanger. Thus thermally tempered, this healthy air is distributed into the main rooms through the supply vents via the distribution box.

Better thermal comfort with the bypass
Equipped with a manually controlled partial bypass, the AUTOGYRE VMC DF VITAL'AIR QAI 90 cools the air in summer to provide greater comfort, especially at night.

Located inside the exchanger, when activated by simply pressing the switch, it diverts most of the stale air so that it is discharged directly outside the house. The fresh air is still filtered and recovers almost no energy, so it can pleasantly cool the house on summer nights when the outside temperature is lower than the inside temperature.

Conversely, the bypass can recover free heat in the mid-season by supplying warm air into the home directly after it has been filtered.

Automatic management mode or forced closing are activated via the control switch.

A compact and quiet dual-flow VMC
With its compact design, the VMC VITAL'AIR QAI 90 is the smallest on the market. Its small footprint simplifies installation. In addition, its removable connection spigots also make installation easier.

Furthermore, eliminating façade air inlets makes the system quieter and avoids drafts for greater comfort.

The AIR'N LIFE range also includes the VMC DF VITAL'AIR QAI 70, offering an efficiency of 70% and achieving 14% savings on the energy bill.
