Panasonic Fans - WhisperSupply-Wall FV-04WS1 Bathroom Exhaust Fan 120 cfm <0.3 Sones 6" Duct
Panasonic debuts its new line of WhisperSupply-Wall™ fans – the only filtered supply solution in the market designed specifically to meet ASHRAE 62.2 requirements for make-up/supply air. Easy to install in both new construction and retrofit applications, the WhisperSupply-Wall FV-01WS1 and FV-04WS1 will be available April 2012.
“Of the three ASHRAE approved strategies for improving a home’s indoor air quality, there are few mechanical supply solutions on the market,” said Anita So, Marketing Manager, Panasonic Home & Environment Company. “The new WhisperSupply-Wall fan will allow weatherization professionals, builders and contractors to tighten homes exceeding blower door testing protocols by supplying filtered air from the outside to meet the latest building codes.”
Ideal for temperate climates, the WhisperSupply-Wall takes air from the outside, and filters it through a Merv 8 filter to supply clean air into the home. The wall-mounted models are easy to install and are equipped with an interior deflector that pushes airflow up and around the walls to avoid unwelcome drafts and assist with homeowner comfort.
Designed for 6” ducts, the WhisperSupply-Wall FV-04WS1 model may be set to either 20 or 40 CFM and is ideal for weatherization efforts, addressing Combustion Appliance Zone (CAZ) depressurization. Vented combustion appliances, gas and fuel oil water heaters, furnaces and boilers, need to exhaust all of their combustion by-products outside the home. In an air-tight home, it is possible that backdrafting of the combustion gasses may occur under negative pressure. In response, to assist with proper indoor air quality, Panasonic created the WhisperSupply product lines. The 20/40 CFM FV-04WS1 model installed near the appliance will help supply fresh air in case CAZ depressurization back drafting occurs. Both the 20/40 and the FV-01WS1 10 CFM WhisperSupply can be wired to work simultaneously with the furnace blower to supply air when it is needed. WhisperSupply is also ideal for meeting green building codes by supplying fresh air into smaller areas such as the hallway or bedroom.
With incredibly quiet noise levels as low as 0.3 sones, the new models are designed to meet ASHRAE 62.2, LEED for Homes and the new CALGreen standard.
