The "VLR 70 S," a decentralized ventilation unit featuring 3-in-1 technology to combat PM 2.5, deliver fresh air, and save energy for a better quality of life
· The VLR 70 S reduces 95% of PM2.5, lowers carbon dioxide levels in closed spaces, and reduces the heat and humidity of the supply air
· Targets sales growth of 20% in response to rising health awareness in Thailand
Bangkok, 24 January 2025 – Stiebel Eltron, a leader in home comfort solutions, introduces the "VLR 70 S”, a groundbreaking decentralized ventilation unit that filters PM2.5 and replenishes oxygen, providing fresh air and improved health for residents. These attributes are coupled with world-wide recognition for standards and quality, as evidenced by the Architects' Darling Award 2024. With the rising trend of health and well-being in Thailand, Stiebel Eltron anticipates increased demand for this product among customers, with projected sales growth of 20% in 2025.
Mr. Rolad Hoehn, Managing Director of Stiebel Eltron Asia Co., Ltd., mentioned that “Unsafe levels of PM2.5 and air pollution across various regions in Thailand have continued to impact daily lives and are posing both short-term and long-term health risks. While citizens are increasingly adopting measures, such as wearing masks in public and using air purifiers, these methods cannot provide fresh air supply. Closed windows and doors hinder air ventilation, causing high carbon dioxide concentrations as well as moisture build-up and mold growth, which may lead to discomfort and long-term health impacts, including disrupted sleep and impairment of cognitive functions.”
In response, Stiebel Eltron has developed the "VLR 70 S" decentralized ventilation unit, a state-of-the-art innovation designed to supply fresh air to living spaces. It filters up to 95% of PM 2.5 and other pollutants and allergens from the incoming air, while extracting carbon dioxide and volatile substances from the interior to ensure adequately clean and oxygen-rich air without the need to open windows or doors. Additionally, the built-in Enthalpy Heat Exchanger pre-cools and dehumidifies the supply, significantly reducing air conditioning energy consumption.
The VLR 70 S requires a very small amount of electricity to operate the ventilation fans and is constructed with high-quality materials, ensuring durability and low maintenance. The unique Enthalpy Heat Exchanger is constructed from hygienic aluminum, which prevents growth of mold and bacteria, while the cleaning of the unit as well as the filter replacement is user-friendly and can be done effortlessly by the end-user. The compact, modern design is easy to install on an exterior wall, without the need for ducting, making it an ideal choice for residential spaces. This product, along with the company’s innovative ventilation systems, have also gain world-wide recognition from the Architects' Darling Award 2024, a prestigious accolade in the construction industry organized by Heinze GmbH, a leading German design company.
“We anticipate growing popularity for air ventilation units among Thai consumers, driven by increasing health awareness and air pollution concerns. Consumers are prioritizing healthier living environments, starting with improved indoor air quality. We expect the sales of this product line to grow by approximately 20% in 2025 compared to last year. Stiebel Eltron remains committed to advancing ventilation technology with German engineering to promote better health for every household in Thailand."
