Simple Flux Hygro B

HVAC
Energy systems for low-energy building design. In a table comparing building performances under different HVAC systems, under the column headed v"entilation systems", I've got *"Simple Flux Hygro B"*.
Firefox gives me 11000 GHits but newxt to nothing when crossed with English...
I think we're talking mechanical/forced ventilation, the 'hygro' could be 'humidity-controlled/adjustable", but the "B"?... and the 'single-flow?' (=exhaust only?)
So many questions, so little time...
Ideas more than welcome ;-)

extract-only humidity-controlled (CMV)
Extract-only humidity-controlled Continuous Mechanical Ventilation.
While simple flux could equally well, in the absolute, be "supply only", I think it would make sense in this case that it should be "extract only" - it extracts air, and if that air falls below a certain humidity level, it stops.
Il existe deux types de VMC simple flux, dont la VMC hygroréglable qui présente l'avantage de limiter le gaspillage de chauffage.
Principe et prix de la VMC hygro B
Il existe deux modèles de VMC hygroréglables :
• VMC hygro B : ses entrées d'air sont HYGRORÉGLABLES, c'est-à-dire qu'elles sont équipées de capteurs d'humidité, ce qui permet une régulation plus fine ;
• VMC hygro A : ses entrées d'air sont, elles, autoréglables et varient donc en fonction de la pression.

Single flow CMV
The outside air enters through air vents located in the main rooms, crosses the air and is then rejected outdoors via service areas (bathrooms, kitchens) thanks to a ventilator block. This can be hidden in the loft.
There are two types of single flow CMV.
self-adjustable CMV guarantees constant air flow regardless of outside and inside humidity conditions.
HYGRO-ADJUSTABLE OR “SMART” CMV automatically adapts the air flow to occupiers’ needs according to variations in the humidity rate

[note that this is a Saint Gobain site, so may be influenced by the French. The fact that they refer to "single flow" and "double flow" ventilation rather than "supply only" or "extract only" and "supply and extract" is probably a good indicatino of this]

Though I have yet to establish that this actually IS a hygro-réglable system. I suspect it's simply the pressure-differential type.

Simply the labels for two different kinds of device, as the ref I quoted explains.
La VMC simple flux Hygroréglable fonctionne sur le même principe que la VMC simple flux classique cependant elle est équipée soit sur le caisson (hygro A) soit sur le caisson et les bouches d'aspirations (hygro B) de capteur d'humidité permettant de faire varier le débit nominal (la vitesse d'aspiration).
Thanks loads for teh input... we'l see how the question evolves. i think your spot on except i still don't see where the A and B come in...
