Vallox 51 – New kitchen unit
A ventilation unit with a cooker hood saves room in small apartments
The Vallox 51K MV unit installed in the kitchen combines ventilation and extraction of cooking smells. Placing the ventilation unit in the kitchen, it enhances the use of space in small apartments in particular. There is no longer need to reserve space for the ventilation unit in e.g. the small bathroom.
The ability of the residents to adjust the efficiency of ventilation based on their individual lifestyle has been shown to enhance their satisfaction with living. The kitchen solution enables apartment-specific ventilation, even in mini-apartments. When the ventilation unit is integrated with the kitchen cabinet, similarly to domestic appliances, it is elegantly out of view, yet easy to use and service. There is plenty of space for maintenance measures, such as replacing the filters, in front of kitchen cabinets.
Quiet and fire safe – and naturally also energy efficient
With an indicative maximum floor area of 75 m², Vallox 51 is best suited for one and two bedroom apartments, and for relatively small three bedroom apartments.
The ratio on supply and extract air remains balanced also during the defrosting cycle. The internal humidity sensor ensures that ventilation is also boosted automatically where required.
The unit is rated in energy class A; equipped with an additional sensor, the class can be increased to up to A+. Also the extract air of the cooker hood passes through the heat recovery cell. Special attention has been paid to acoustic properties in the design of the unit that is intended for use in kitchens.
The metal structure makes Vallox 51K MV a fire safe ventilation solution for kitchen installations. The electric assembly that can be removed as one piece allows for easy maintenance.
Diverse control options
Vallox 51K MV has several different control options. The front panel of the inconspicuous cooker hood is equipped with easy-to use capacitive switches. The unit can also be connected to building automation systems (Modbus and KNX). This enables an easy centralised control of data produced by the unit. The number of maintenance visits can also be reduced, as the unit can be adjusted remotely. Vallox’s technical support provides assistance throughout the unit’s service life.
Vallox Captura Cooker hood
The Vallox Captura cooker hood is only compatible with Vallox 51K ventilation units. The modern simplified cooker hood has a low front panel that merges with the kitchen cabinet and has capacitive switches that have been marked with clear icons.
The even switch panel makes it easy to keep the cooker hood clean. The cooker hood has no glass or easily damaged mechanical parts. The cooker hood is equipped with a motorised flap. The standard width of the Vallox Captura cooker hood is 600 mm. The available colours are white and stainless steel.
Vallox 51 MV without a cooker hood
The Vallox 51 ventilation unit is also available without a cooker hood (Vallox 51 MV). The unit is only 345 mm deep, which enables installation e.g. above a toilet seat.
