You are correct sir, it is the Novum Clooflow 7000. They also had the 9000,
but that was priced up at £238, which SWMBO balked at a little bit, so I
decided to quite while I was ahead....

You lucky ****er!  :-)

This unit is intended for my loft, where after the conversion, there will
be
two velux roof windows on opposite sides of the roof, and possibly a fan as
well to move air between them if necessary. (I know loft's can get
hideously
hot, - I've been up in my brother-in-laws! I also plan to put an extractor
in one gable end wall, immediately adjacent to where the new Node 0
location
is going to be. Hopefully, with all that forced air movement going on
already, the ACU shouldn't have to work too hard just to lower the temp of
the air in the room by a couple of degrees, but I have to figure out where
to site the unit so I don't just lose all the cooled air straight outside
due that ventilation, as A/C systems are supposed to be closed to get the
optimum benefit.... However, I suspect that once I'e got all my kit up
there, I would need more than one of these to provide adequate cooling, so
I
think I will need to to remove some some of the hot air from the space by
other means, hence the plan to have an extractor right next to node 0.

I bought a fan as well for the bedroom ceiling - £37.99 - no lights on it,
just a fan, all chrome & shiny! - lovely!
