PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

KERS fresh air recovery unit is designed to arrange permanent air exchange in flats, cottages, offices, hotels, 
cafes and other residential and public premises. 
The  unit  is  equipped  with  a  ceramic  heat  exchanger  that  provides  extract  air  thermal  energy  utilization  for 
warming up of supply air. The total unit heat recovery efficiency reaches 91%. 
The unit is designed for through-the-wall mounting. 
The unit telescopic structure makes it suitable for installation in the walls from 240 mm up to 500 mm. 
Telescopic ducts allow to overcome bigger wall thickness (see paragraph 9.5). 
The low air velocity avoids troublesome currents present in conventional air conditioning systems and guarantees 
maximum environmental comfort. 
 
The exclusive use of components of the highest quality and electrical parts puts KERS units at the highest levels 
of the state of the art, in terms of efficiency, reliability and reduced noise levels.

STRUCTURE AND OPERATING LOGIC 

The unit is composed of a ventilation unit, a heat exchanger, two filters, an outer protection hood and an outdoor 
sound insulating duct.  
The duct and the outer insulation can be cut according to the size of the wall. 
The two filters and the ceramic core are inserted into the duct. The filters purify the air and prevent dust or other 
bodies from entering the room or damaging the heat exchanger or the fan. 
 
The unit is equipped with a non-volatile memory timer, which reports every 90 days of operation the opportunity 
to check the filters, through a LED, located on the right side of the unit. Once the filters are replaced or cleaned, 
the LED remains off for another 90 days of operation. 
 
The hexagonal cells heat exchanger  recovers the heat  from the  exhaust air in order  to heat  up the fresh air 
coming from outdoor into the room. The ceramic core is equipped with a cord that allows its extraction from the 
unit is wrapped in insulating and air-sealing material. 
 
A louver closes automatically when the unit is in stand-by mode, to prevent unwanted draughts. 
It is also possible to manually close the cover, as additional insulation to air, such as during holidays. 
The ventilation unit must be installed in places where it is not possible the entrance of water or other substances 
that could damage its components. 
 
KERS can operate in three modes: 
 

Extract mode: 

the unit operates continuously in extraction 

Supply mode: t

he unit operates continuously in supply 

Heat  recovery  mode: 

the  unit  operates  alternately  in  two  phases  (supply  and  extraction)  each  65 

seconds long.
