VEX340: Control system
Ventilation and airing out can be a major source of energy loss
from a building.
To maintain good indoor air quality it is necessary to continually
replace the air, so that moisture and odours can be removed
from a room. Heat loss resulting from air replacement is signicantly
reduced when ventilation units with heat recovery are used.
Heat loss is practically zero when the VEX340 is installed.
The advantage of counter ow heat exchangers compared to
cross-ow heat exchangers is illustrated in the example below,
which shows the variable temperature curve for a whole year
(24 x 365 = 8760 hours).
Conditions:
Extract air temperature: 22 °C
Supply air temperature: 18 °C
with equal airows
The blue area shows the given share of recovered heat in the
heat exchanger, and the red area shows the need for supple-
mental heat up to 18 °C (desired supply air temperature), if a
heating coil is tted.
Corresponding energy calculations can be done using
EXselect, our product selection tool, where conditions such
as operating hours, supply/extract air temperatures can be
selected. Icing of heat exchanger is not calculated.
