1. Functional Description
See “8.8. Menu tree” at page 25 for component description.
Cold outdoor air passes through one half of the rotor (HR-R), while warm extract air passes through the other half, without the two mixing. Using this principle, a large proportion of the heat in the extract air is transferred to the supply air – the heat store principle (see system sketches). If the outdoor temperature is extremely low, a thermostat-controlled heating element (EB) also ensures that the supply air has the desired temperature. This supply air is passed via ducts and valves to living rooms and bedrooms. The extract air is extracted either from WKH VDPH URRP RU YLD GRRU JDSVRYHURZ JUDWLQJV WR toilets and wet rooms. The used air is passed via a duct VVWHP EDFN WR WKH XQLW JLYHV R LWV KHDW DQG LV H[SHOOHG from the building via a roof cowl, combi-box or wall grating. When there is no need for heat recovery (for example in the summer), the rotor stops.
