In contrast, the LV100 is designed for general ventilation needs and offers a simple yet robust design. It features a timer function that allows users to set the fan to run for a specific duration after being triggered by a switch. This model is perfect for rooms where continuous ventilation is not necessary, providing flexibility and energy efficiency.

The LV100PC model stands out with its positive pressure capabilities, ensuring that clean air is circulated into spaces. This is particularly effective in rooms prone to dust and allergens, such as home offices. The unit maintains a controlled environment while enhancing overall indoor air quality.

For those requiring higher extraction rates, the LV100HP offers powerful performance, making it suitable for larger areas or spaces with significant moisture production. The high-performance motor provides reliable operation, essential for commercial environments where compliance with ventilation standards is crucial.

Finally, the LV100T introduces a timer switch that allows for programmable ventilation, ensuring the fan runs for a predetermined time after being activated. This versatility makes it an excellent addition for areas that require custom ventilation control, such as utility rooms or wash areas.

All models in the Xpelair LV100 series share common characteristics, such as energy-efficient motors and easy installation. The units are designed to blend seamlessly with various interior designs, and their low noise levels enhance user comfort.
