DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

UNIT OPERATION LOGIC
Heat Recovery mode: warm stale extract air from the room flows into the unit, where it is filtered by the extract filters, then air flows through the heat exchanger and is exhausted outside by the extract fan. Cold fresh air from the outside flows into the unit, where it is cleaned by the supply filters. Then the air flows through the heat exchangers and is directed to the room with the supply fan. Heat energy of warm extract air is transferred to clean intake fresh air from the outside and warms it up. The air flows are fully separated while flowing through the heat exchanger. Heat recovery minimizes heat losses, which reduces the cost of space heating in the cold season. Summer Cooling mode: the bypass damper is opened, the intake air that is supplied to the premises bypasses the heat exchanger and its temperature doesn’t change.
The units have three frost protection modes (danger of freezing appears when the exhaust air temperature downstream of the heat exchanger is lower than +5 °C and intake air temperature upstream of the heat exchanger is lower than -3 °C):

• periodically the supply fan is turned off
• with the bypass
• with the electric preheater (if the unit is equipped with a preheater)

Mode selection and settings are described in the control system user’s manual.

UNIT DESIGN
The units are available in left-hand and right-hand design. Choosing the right arrangement can improve the ease of installation, shorten the length of the ducts and reduce the number of air duct bends.

12. G4 extract filter
13. differential pressure switch of the supply filter
14. terminal block for internal connections
15. bypass damper
16. counter-flow heat exchanger

The unit is equipped with a service door for technical and maintenance operations. Opening the service door while the unit is running will lead to its shut down. The unit design enables installation of a bypass duct with a bypass damper to route the intake air stream without contacting the heat exchanger.

The unit is equipped with differential pressure switches to control filter clogging.

Additional equipment for the unit is available on a separate order.

• Humidity sensor. The unit with an installed humidity sensor maintains a set indoor humidity level. As the extract air humidity rises above the set point, the system automatically switches to the maximum speed. As the humidity drops down below the set point the unit returns to the previous mode.
• CO2 sensor. Measures the level of concentration of carbon dioxide in the room and generates a signal that controls the performance of the fan. Air flow control based on CO2 concentration is an efficient energy saving solution.
• VOC sensor. Qualitative assessment of air saturation with contaminants (cigarette smoke, exhaled air, solvent and detergent vapours).
• The sensor sensitivity can be adjusted with regards to the expected maximum level of air pollution. Enables on-demand ventilation which results in considerable energy savings as air is exchanged only upon reaching the preset level of pollution.

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

READ THE USER’S MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT.

While choosing the mounting location provide enough access for maintenance or repair work.

The unit is designed for mounting to a horizontal surface adjacent to the wall with the ready-made holes for the air ducts. Lower the supports on the feet of the unit. During operation, the unit must stand on supports. By adjusting the height of the supports, achieve a strictly horizontal unit position.
To get the best performance of the unit and to minimize turbulence-induced air pressure losses, connect the straight air duct section to the unit spigots.

Minimum straight air duct length:

• equal to 1 air duct diameter on the intake side
• equal to 3 air duct diameters on outlet side

If the air ducts are too short or not connected, protect the unit parts from ingress of foreign objects. To prevent uncontrollable access to the fan, the spigots may be covered with a protecting grille or other protecting device with mesh width not more than 12.5 mm.

TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE

Maintenance operations of the unit are required 3-4 times per year. They include general cleaning of the unit and the following operations:

1. Filter maintenance.
   Dirty filters increase air resistance in the system and reduce supply air volume. The filters require cleaning not less than 3-4 times per year. Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or replace it with a new one. To clean the filters, remove them from the unit. For new filters, contact the Seller.

2. Heat exchanger maintenance (once per year).
   Some dust may accumulate on the heat exchanger even in case of regular maintenance of the filters. To maintain the high heat recovery efficiency, regular cleaning is required. To clean the heat exchanger, remove it from the unit and clean the heat exchanger by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, reinstall the heat exchanger into the unit.

3. Fan maintenance (once per year).
   Even in case of regular maintenance of the filters, some dust may accumulate inside the fans and reduce the fan performance and supply air flow.
   To access the fans, remove the protection plates (secured with the screws).
   Clean the fans with a soft cloth, brush, or using compressed air.
   Do not use water, aggressive solvents, or sharp objects as they may damage the impeller.

4. Ductwork system maintenance (once in 5 years).
   Even regular fulfilling of all the maintenance operations prescribed above may not completely prevent dirt accumulation in the air ducts,which leads to air pollution and reduces the unit capacity. Duct maintenance means regular cleaning or replacement.
