DESIGNATION KEY

TECHNICAL DATA

The unit is designed for indoor application with the ambient temperature ranging from +1 °C up to +40 °C and relative humidity up to 60 % without condensation. In cold, damp rooms, there is a possibility of freezing or condensation inside and outside the casing. In order to prevent condensation on the internal walls of the unit, the surface temperature of the casing must be 2-3 °C above the dew point temperature of the transported air. The unit should be operated continuously, and in cases where ventilation is not necessary, reduce the air flow of the fans to a minimum (20%). This will ensure a favorable indoor climate and reduce the amount of condensation inside the unit, which can damage electronic components. Never use the unit for dehumidification, for example, of new buildings. The unit is rated as a Class I electrical appliance. Hazardous parts access and water ingress protection rating: IP22 for the unit connected to the air ducts IP44 for the unit motors The unit design is constantly being improved, thus some models may be slightly different from those described in this manual.

• Condensate is removed from the unit casing through a drainage pipe (item 6).

UNIT OPERATION MODE

Heat exchange: warm extract air from the room flows into the unit and is cleaned in the extract filter. Then the air is moved through the heat exchanger and is exhausted outside with the extract fan. Cold fresh air from outside flows through the air duct into the unit, where it is cleaned by the supply filter. Then the air flows through the heat exchanger and is moved to the room by the supply fan. Supply air is heated in the heat exchanger due to transfer of the heat energy of warm and humid extract air to the cold fresh air. The air streams remain separated in the heat exchanger. Heat recovery minimizes heat losses, which reduces costs for space heating in the cold season. Reneo- Fit D 100-E S14 units use an enthalpy heat exchanger to recover not only heat but also moisture. In summer, the heat exchanger cools and dehumidifies the supply air, and in winter, it heats and humidifies it. Water vapour condenses from the moist exhaust air and is absorbed by the heat exchanger plates. The resulting moisture and heat are transferred to the supply air.

Defrosting: in order to protect against icing during cold seasons, the unit is equipped with an automatic defrosting mode controlled by readings of the defrosting temperature sensor located in the exhaust duct behind the heat exchanger. The unit enters defrosting mode when the exhaust air temperature drops below +3 °C. After an increase of these temperatures, the unit reverts to the previous operation mode. In the defrosting mode, only the exhaust fan runs, the supply fan is switched off.

VIEW FROM THE SERVICE SIDE WITH THE COVER REMOVED

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

The units are fitted with connecting pipes for the connection of circular air ducts. 100 mm air ducts are inserted into the connecting pipes, while 125 mm air ducts are put over the connecting pipes. The unit is mounted in the ventilation system in accordance with the function of the connecting pipes. Functions of the connecting pipes of the factory-assembled unit are indicated on stickers..

WARNING!

• To reduce aerodynamic losses related to air flow turbulence, use shaped reducers in order to reduce or increase the cross-section of air ducts.
• To minimise turbulence-induced air pressure losses, connect the straight air duct sections on both sides of the unit. Minimum straight air duct length: equal to 1 air duct diameter on the intake side and 3 air duct diameters on outlet side
• It is necessary to protect the internal parts of the unit from penetration of foreign objects. For example, install a grill with a cell side size of no more than 12.5 mm to prevent free access to the fan and foreign objects from entering the unit.
• The equipment and air ducts that are to be connected must have their own mounting bracket in order to avoid transferring their own weight loads to the unit.

The unit must be mounted so that it can be accessed for service purposes. Enough space must be provided for the cover to completely removed. Only ceiling mounting is allowed. Mounting is performed at 4 points through the mounting holes. It is recommended to use anchor threaded rods with nuts for fastening the unit. Fasteners for the unit mounting are not included into the delivery set and should be ordered separately. While choosing fasteners consider the material of the mounting surface and the unit weight. For selection of the fasteners for unit mounting please refer to a service technician.

CHANGE OF THE UNIT MODIFICATION
In some cases, it may be necessary to reconfigure the unit to ensure a more efficient placement of equipment and communications. To do this, it is necessary to rearrange the temperature and humidity sensors inside the casing as shown in the figure in the section “Unit design and operating principle”. The motor connections in the control unit must also be changed. To do this, you need to move the temperature sensor, humidity sensor and change the wiring of the fan motors in the control box.

Moving the temperature sensor
If you want to move the control unit before connecting the unit to the power supply and external devices, perform the below steps in the following order:

1. Place the unit on a surface with the removable cover facing up.
2. Remove the removable cover from the unit casing. To do this, unscrew 4 plastic screws that secure the cover.
3. Open the control box cover as shown in the figure on the right.
4. Remove two screws that secure the chassis and remove the chassis from the control box.
5. Remove the temperature sensor from the wall of the control box and insert it into the hole on the opposite side of the control box. Prior to doing so, make a hole in the expanded polypropylene partition with a suitable sharp tool through the hole in the metal casing of the control box.
6. Seal all openings using a sealant to prevent air leakage.

Moving the humidity sensor
To move the humidity sensor, follow these steps in sequence:

1. First follow the steps described in points 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the section “Moving the temperature sensor”.
2. To gain easier access to the sensor, remove the filter as shown in the figure to the right.
3. Mark the cable wires connected to the humidity sensor. Remember, photograph or write down the connection points of cables.
4. Pull the cable out to the opposite side of the unit casing. Remove it from the channel. Pull the cable inside the control box.
5. Use a suitable sharp tool to make a hole in the expanded polypropylene partition through the hole in the metal casing of the control box where one of the channels leading to the connecting pipe opposite the one next to the humidity sensor begins.
6. Push the cable through the new hole and route it through the channel leading to the new location of the sensor. Route the cable to the location of the humidity sensor.
7. Remove the self-tapping screw that secures the humidity sensor. Unscrew the spiral dowel into which the screw was screwed.
8. Screw the spiral dowel at the new location of the senor. Fix the sensor there using a self-tapping screw. Connect the cable wires to the sensor terminals in the same order as they were connected before disassembly.
9. Seal all openings using a sealant to prevent air leakage. Reinstall the filters in their original positions.

Changing the motor connection
In case of changing the unit modification, the role of the fans in the automatic anti-icing protection of the unit changes. Therefore, the motor control cable connectors on the controller board must be reconnected.

To do this, follow these steps in sequence:

1. First follow the steps described in points 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the section “Moving the temperature sensor”.
2. Disconnect the motor control cable connectors and rearrange them as shown in the figure below.
3. Reinstall the chassis and secure it with the screws in the reverse order.
4. Reinstall the control box cover and the chassis cover.

After completing all the steps described above, reattach the stickers showing connecting pipes function to the new locations as shown in the figure in the section “Unit design and operating principle” (Reneo-Fit D 100(-E) R S14). It is also necessary to move the condensate drain pipe to the opposite side of the unit casing and close its hole with a plug. www.blaubergventilatoren.de Reneo-Fit D 100(-E) S14

Condensate drainage
Condensate drainage is required in systems with heat recovery.

WARNING! The drain pipe on the outdoor air supply side is intended for the removal of condensate, which forms during cooling of the supply air in the heat exchanger when the unit operates in a warm, humid climate conditions. The decision whether or not to install this drain pipe should be made by the designer based on the operating conditions of the unit and the local climate. If in doubt or if there is a risk of condensation formation, a drain pipe on the outdoor supply air side must be installed for safety reasons. The opening for the drain pipes is located in the unit cover. The unit is fitted with a drain pipe that removes condensate outside the casing. U-traps must be connected to the drain pipe. Connect the drain pipe, U-trap and the sewage system with metal, plastic or rubber connection pipes. A schematic representation of the condensate drainage system is shown below. The unit is shown in the left-handed modification.

CONNECTION TO POWER MAINS

The connection must be made using durable, insulated and heat-resistant conductors (cables, wires). The external power input must be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker built into the stationary wiring to open the circuit in the event of overload or short-circuit. The position of the external circuit breaker must ensure free access for quick unit power-off. The trip current of the automatic circuit breaker must exceed the maximum current consumption of the unit (refer to the “Technical data” section or to the unit label). It is recommended to select the rated current of the circuit breaker from the standard series, following the maximum current of the connected unit. The circuit breaker is not included in the delivery set. The conductors’ cross-section value is indicative. The actual wire cross section selection must be based on the type of wire, its maximum allowable heating, insulation, length and installation method. To connect the power supply and external devices, unscrew the four plastic screws on the cover of the control unit and remove the cover, as shown in the figure in the “Mounting and set-up” section. Route the power supply cable and the cables for connecting the control panel and other cables through the cable glands in the control box and connect them according to the wiring diagram. Wiring diagrams for power supply and external devices are shown in the figure below.

The interpretation of the designations and the characteristics of the connection cables are given in the table.

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:

Filter maintenance (3-4 times per year).
Dirty filters increase air flow resistance, which leads to a decrease in the supply of supply air to the room and creates preconditions for the occurrence of faults. The filters require cleaning not less than 3-4 times per year. The filters may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. After two consecutive cleanings the filters must be replaced. To change the filters, remove the filter covers (item 5 in the section “Unit design and operating principle”). Carefully remove the dirty filter. Install new filters and covers in reverse order. For new filters, contact the Seller.

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. Before removing the heat exchanger, unscrew the 4 plastic screws and remove the cover. Remove heat exchanger from the unit and clean it with compressed air or a vacuum cleaner. Reinstall the cleaned heat exchanger into the unit in the reverse order.

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. 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.

Maintenance of air intake devices (twice per year).
The supply grille may get clogged with leaves and other objects, which reduces the unit performance and supply air delivery. Check the supply grille twice per year and clean it as required.

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.
