ABOUT

CMU – Compact Make-up Air Unit

Neptronic’s Compact Make-up Air Unit (CMU) is engineered to ensure that your home, office or building’s stale air is replaced with fresher and healthier air. In such environments, many contaminants hover unseen, whether it be the remnants of your scented candles, the particles of the meal you last cooked or even floating bacteria. The CMU removes these invisible threats from the air where quality is vital.

The CMU is reliably designed to deliver clean air indoors after exhaust ventilation pulls out the previous stale air. By doing so, the unit prevents negative air pressure and back drafts. The CMU also increases indoor air quality and provides comfortable ventilation and circulation. It contributes to better temperature control by heating the incoming air accordingly to your building’s needs.

The CMU is available with intelligent control strategies that allow for coordination with the compensated exhaust system of your building, office or home for maximum comfort. Optional communication modules also allow for its harmonious integration to the automation system of your intelligent building.

TYPE OF FANS

Axial Fan

Axial Fan
  • Used in standard applications with aluminum filters, in which there is a lower pressure drop.
  • Includes the option of an AC or ECM motor:

    - AC motor provides a cost effective solution, with simple installation and operation.

    - ECM motor provides advanced control strategies, with high modulation capabilities and better efficiency.

Centrifugal Fan

Centrifugal Fan
  • Used in applications with higher restriction on the filter, duct or zoning requirements, which result in a higher pressure drop.
  • Includes ECM motor:

    - ECM motor provides advanced control strategies, with high modulation capabilities and better efficiency.
