DEHUMIDIFICATION · AIR PURIFICATION · DUBAI, UAE

Control humidity. Improve indoor air quality.

Concealed ducted systems for humidity control, air filtration and fresh-air treatment across the UAE.

Depending on the model, ONYX NOVA systems provide humidity control, fresh-air treatment or heat recovery together with three-stage air filtration using Primary, HEPA and Activated Carbon filters. Core, Aero, PolarStar and Alpha also include an ionization module for additional air treatment.

Indoor environment

Indoor comfort is not only about temperature

A property may feel cool while indoor humidity remains high. At the same time, dust, fine particles, odours and other airborne contaminants can affect indoor air quality.

Condensation forming on interior glazing in a humid room.

Common signs include:

  • High indoor humidity
  • Condensation on windows and surfaces
  • Recurring mould
  • Musty or persistent odours
  • Dust and fine airborne particles
  • Discomfort even when the air-conditioning is running

ONYX NOVA addresses both sides of the indoor environment: humidity control and air treatment.

Two systems, two jobs

Air conditioning and ONYX NOVA are complementary, not alternatives.

Air-conditioning primarily controls indoor temperature. ONYX NOVA controls excess humidity and, depending on the model, also provides air filtration, fresh-air treatment and additional air purification. Together, the systems help maintain a more stable and comfortable indoor environment.

Air conditioning

  • Primarily controls temperature
  • Dehumidification depends on cooling operation
  • May cause overcooling when used to fight humidity

ONYX NOVA

  • Independently monitors and manages moisture
  • Operates based on humidity demand
  • Filters and treats circulated air
  • Can support controlled fresh-air introduction when properly designed

How it works

Typical ONYX NOVA installation concept

Most ONYX NOVA solutions are concealed ducted systems installed separately from the air-conditioning system. Air is drawn into the ONYX NOVA system for treatment. Depending on the product, the system may control humidity, treat fresh air or recover heat. Core, Aero, PolarStar and Alpha also use three-stage filtration with Primary, HEPA and Activated Carbon filters, together with an ionization module for additional air treatment.

ONYX Core uses its own engineered return and supply ducts. Where the interior design allows, the ONYX NOVA and AC air paths may use separate sections of the same visible grille, helping preserve a clean ceiling appearance while keeping the systems functionally separate.

Why professional design matters

Equipment cannot be selected on floor area alone.

Two properties of the same size can behave very differently. Selection follows an assessment of the factors below, and is confirmed during design.

  • Moisture load
  • Outdoor temperature and relative humidity
  • Quantity of introduced fresh air
  • Property infiltration
  • Ceiling height and room volume
  • Occupancy
  • Kitchens, bathrooms, spa and pool areas
  • Exhaust systems
  • Zoning
  • Duct routes
  • Available ceiling or service space
  • Static pressure and airflow
  • Target humidity and temperature
  • Operating schedule
  • Integration with AC, FAHU and ventilation systems
