 Lossnay  Q and A

*  Please consult with the nearest Lossnay supplier about part availability.

Question

Answer

Remarks

15

Is total operation possible 
via the switches?

Several units can be operated with the optional control switch.

16

What is the difference 
between the rotary-type and 
static-type?

Refer to “Chapter 3, Section 8 Comparing Energy Recovery Techniques.”

17

Is an inspection hole 
necessary?

For the ceiling-embedded-type, the unit is installed in the false ceiling, so an 
inspection hole is required to access the Core and filter, section and for fan 
maintenance.  
Refer to the installation manual for details.

18

What must be performed 
during maintenance?

Periodic inspection and cleaning of the Lossnay Core and air filter is 
necessary.  Refer to “Chapter 9, Service Life and Maintenance” for details.

19

Can the Lossnay be used in 
factories?

Do not install in machine or chemical factories, where hazardous substances 
such as acidic gases, alkaline gases, organic solvent fumes, paint fumes, or 
gases containing corrosive components are generated.

20

What are the anti-vibration 
measures for Lossnay units?

Measures are not required.
