OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

• The unit is delivered ready to be connected to the power supply and works fully automatically. The stale air extracted from the inside transfers the thermal energy (calories/B.T.U.s) to the fresh air coming from the outside.
• This saves energy in air-conditioning, as the new, clean air is blown into the house at a conditioned temperature (cool in summer, warm in winter).
• Depending on the type of control unit used, up to 5 ventilation positions are possible. The airflow rate is regulated by the regulating position. Constant volume control allows the air flow rate of the supply and extract fans to be obtained independently of the duct pressure.

BY-PASS CONDITIONS

• The By-Pass fitted as standard allows fresh air to be blown in directly from outside without passing through the heat exchanger, so that the comfortable temperature outside at any given time can be used, for example on summer nights when fresh air should enter from outside to cool the inside of the house (free-cooling).
• The by-pass valve is automatically activated when a certain number of conditions are met (see table below for by-pass values).

By-Pass gate conditions

By-pass valve open| •    The outside temperature is higher than 10ºC.

•    In summer, the outside temperature is 3ºC lower than the temperature of the air extracted from the home, and lower than the comfort temperature.

•    In winter, the outside temperature is 3ºC higher than the temperature of the air extracted from the home, and higher than the comfort temperature.

By-pass valve closed| •    • The outside temperature is below 10ºC.

•    • In summer, the outside temperature is higher than the temperature of the air extracted from the home, and higher than the comfort temperature.

•    • In winter, the outside temperature is lower than the temperature of the air extracted from the home, and lower than the comfort temperature.

The unit automatically detects the season (winter/ summer) and this will work according to the by-pass temperature selected.

ANTI-ICE SECURITY

• To prevent the formation of ice in the heat exchanger at very low outdoor temperatures, the SIBER DF EVO 1/2 is equipped with anti- icing protection.
• Thermostatic probes measure the temperatures in the heat exchanger and if necessary a progressive unbalance is set in the automatic equipment. Up to -16 degrees the Unit would stop and check every hour if the temperature is suitable for operation.
