DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The unit operation is as follows: 
Warm extract air from the room flows into the unit and is cleaned in 
the extract filters. Then the air is moved through the heat exchanger 
and is exhausted outside through the air ducts with the extract fan. 
Cold fresh air from outside flows into the unit, where it is cleaned with 
the supply filters.  Then the air flows through the heat exchanger and 
is moved to the room with the supply fan. Supply air is heated in the 
heat exchanger by transferring the heat energy of warm and humid 
extract air to the cold fresh air.  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. 
The unit is a frame structure made of rigidly fixed steel panels. The 
panels are made of painted steel sheets and a galvanized steel sheets 
with a layer of mineral wool between for heat- and sound-insulation.

The service door enables access for maintenance and service 
operations.  
The power cables and grounding conductors must be routed 
through the cable glands to the terminal block located on the top 
casing panel. The wiring diagram for wiring of the air handling unit 
is shown on the inner side  of the terminal box lid.  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 has three automatic heat exchanger freeze protection modes, 
depending on the unit model. 

Units without heater

: the supply fan turns off in case of a freezing 

danger*. 

Units with a reheater and no preheater: 

the bypass system is 

activated in case of a freezing danger*. 

Units with a preheater:

 the preheating is turned on in case of a 

freezing danger*. 
* 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.

After increase of these temperatures the unit reverts to the 

previous operation mode. 

The supply and extract air temperature difference during heat 
recovery may lead to condensate formation in the units with a 
polystyrene heat exchanger. The condensate is collected in the drain 
pan and is removed outside to the exhaust air duct through the drain 
hose. No condensate is generated in the units with an enthalpy heat 
exchanger as the air moisture is transferred from one air stream to 
the other via the membrane. 
The unit has options for connection of a humidity sensor,  CO

2

 sensor 

or VOC (air quality) sensor for automatic keeping of set humidity 
level, CO

2

 or VOC concentration in the room.
