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, it is necessary that the surface temperature of the casing is 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.

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The unit has the following operating logic: 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 exhaust fan. Air from outside flows into the unit, where it is cleaned by the supply filters. Then the air flows through the heat exchanger and is directed to the room with the supply fan.
Thermal energy of extract air is transferred to intake air from outside and warms it up. The air flows are fully separated.
Heat recovery minimizes heat losses, which reduces the cost of space heating in the cold season.

Freeze protection
In the exhaust duct a thermostat for heat exchanger freeze protection is mounted downstream of the heat exchanger.
If there is a threat of freezing, the thermostat switches off the supply fan and the heat exchanger is heated by the warm extract air.
To set the thermostat sensor threshold value, turn the control knob to the desired position.
The thermostat activation value is selected individually depending on the area of unit operation. The recommended thermostat operating temperature is +3 °C (factory setting).

MOUNTING AND SET-UP

BEFORE MOUNTING MAKE SURE THE CASING DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS (E.G. FOIL, PAPER).

WHILE INSTALLING THE UNIT ENSURE CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR SUBSEQUENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

The unit may be suspended on threaded rods or may be rigidly fixed to a horizontal surface by anchor bolts.
Fasteners for fan mounting should be ordered separately.
While choosing fasteners consider the material of the mounting surface as well as the weigh of the unit, refer to the “Technical data” section.
Fasteners for unit mounting should be selected by the service technician.

Make sure that the installation site is capable of sustaining the unit weight. Otherwise reinforce the mounting location with beams or similar elements. If the bolts used for the unit mounting are too short the unit can generate abnormal noise and resonate with the ceiling.
Use bolts of sufficient length to prevent resonance.
If the noise is generated at the spiral air duct joint, replace the spiral air duct with a flexible one to prevent resonance.
Flexible anti-vibration connectors are another alternative for dealing with resonance.
Push the air ducts onto the flanges of the unit until stop.
Flexible ducts must be fixed rigidly with a metal worming clamp.

CONDENSATE DRAINAGE

The VUE units are equipped with an enthalpy heat exchanger and do not= require condensate drainage.
The VUT units are equipped with a drain pan for condensate collection and removal.
Temperature differences between supply and extract air flows in heat recovery units lead to condensate formation. Condensate is collected in the drain pan and is removed outside by the drain pipes.
Connect the part of the pipe going from the unit outlet to the sewage system.

WARNING!
To ensure water drainage, pipes should be mounted with a slope of at least 3°.
Provide free drainage for the condensed water, otherwise it is accumulated inside the unit that may cause the equipment damage and condensate outflow to the room.
The condensate drainage system is designed for normal operation in premises with air temperatures above 0 °C!
If the expected ambient air temperatures are below 0 °C the condensate drainage system must be equipped with heat insulation and pre-heating facilities.
