Cool Magic

Combining MVHR with an ASHP
the clever way

Cool Magic Heating and Cooling with MVHR

The CoolMagic outdoor Air Source Heat Pump complements the Big Magic MVHR. It can cool or heat the supply air of the MVHR system for cooling and space heating purposes. However, it is much more than just combining a MVHR with a post heater: It is a holistic solution.

What is Unique about the Cool Magic?

  • Combined solution with all components chosen to work together.
  • The internal heat exchanger is in-built into the MVHR unit.
  • Additional adiabatic cooling effect through evaporation of the condensate.
  • No increase in humidity through the cooling, like in other MVHR cooling solutions. Dryer summer air = more comfortable.

Heating output of the Cool Magic: up to 4.52 kW

Cooling output of the Cool Magic: up to 5.78kW

Room-by-Room Control for Improved Cooling

Through Big Magic’s Room-by-Room control with variable flow dampers on all 90mm ducting legs, the CoolMagic can prioritize cooled air for those rooms that start to overheat (e.g. South facing rooms). This makes the (up to 5.7kW) cooling output focussed and much more effective than a blanket approach with a cooling module.

  • In the picture you see the two manifolds for extract on the right hand side with normal 90mm semi-rigid ducting
  • and on the left hand side is the supply manifold with the pre-insulated semi-rigid ducting. It is recommended to use insulated supply ducting, to avoid dissipation of heat in or out of the ducting within the service zone.

Designing MVHR Differently

We here at PAUL are designing Big Magic/ Cool Magic systems differently than standard MVHR systems to take the estimated heating and cooling demand per room into account. We allow for much more air flow into larger habitable rooms, so that more heating and cooling can be introduced.

Integrated Controls for the Cool Magic

The controls for the heating and cooling are fully integrated into the MVHR controls. Each habitable room has its own controller that measures CO2, humidity and temperature and adjusts the ventilaiton, heating and cooling accordingly. Additional panel heaters can be controlled from the same platform/ controller.
