The Heat Recovery Unit : DXA Unit

The DXA has been specifically designed for 
wall or cupboards installation. Thanks to 
its wellfitted dimensions, the DXA can be 
installed in technical rooms, wallmounted. 
A creamy white metal sheet covers the front 
face of the the DXA which allows it to be 
unnoticed as a technical equipment. The DXA 
unit is compatible with two demand control 
strategies used in the DX System “Premium” 
and “Excellence”.

DESCRIPTION 

2.1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The DX System is a range of smart heat recovery ventilation systems that continually supply pollen-free and dust-free preheated fresh air to living areas, 
ensuring a comfortable feel-good climate.

The DXA is a heat recovery unit with demand-controlled airflows for vertical installation (on the wall) in the apartment or in the house, from 2 to 5 main 
rooms, and from 1 to 5 technical rooms (kitchen, bathroom, others wet rooms). The dwelling has to be limited to 2 floors (1 ground floor and 1 floor 
maximum), and has a maximum surface of 210 m². This HRV system can also be used in offices, hostels, etc., if the required airflow is in accordance 
with the one offered by the system.

 

General working of the DX System, Premium Version

The DX  System is comprised of a heat recovery unit (DXA Unit 

 1

) con-

nected to exhaust and supply ductworks. The counter-flow heat exchanger, 
integrated into the main unit, ensures the recovery and transfer of most of 
the energy from the exhaust air to the supply air, thus limiting the energy 
required to heat the fresh air.

Airflows are automatically controlled according to the needs of each 
dwelling’s room: a room by room DCV is ensured on the exhaust side while 
on the supply side, airflow are managed globally by the mean of one or 
several indoor air quality sensors 

4

. Preheated 

8

 fresh air is supplied 

3

 in the bedrooms and in the living room. Stale air is extracted 

5

 from 

the kitchen, bathroom and WC. To manage supply airflows, one or several 
C0

2

 or presence sensors 

4

 drive the exhaust compensation valve. If 

several sensors are connected, a weighted average of the ventilation need 
is calculated by the system to adap the airflow. With this strategy, the 
exhaust airflow 

5

 increase depending on the sensors measurement, 

which will drive consequently the supply airflows. Supply airflows, as 
they are distributed through a passive distribution box 

2

, are identical 

in all the different main rooms (to the nearest drop pressure losses). On 
the exhaust side, the exhaust units 

 5

 adjust automatically the airflow, 

according to parameters read by various sensors: humidity (used in the 
kitchen, in the bathroom and in WC), presence (used in WC). Versions 
with switch, presence, remote, CO

2

 or VOC sensors can also be used for 

exhaust units. In order to have a balanced system, supply airflows are 
similar to exhaust airflows.

The use of an exhaust compensation valve 

 7

, connected to a specific 

supply unit 

 6

, is also a solution to increase the airflows. This scenario 

is used in order to get a very efficient over-ventilation mode, also called 
free-cooling mode.

Supply airflows and exhaust airflows are measured by the use of accurate 
pressure sensors placed in the heat recovery unit. This allows to calculate 
with a high accuracy supply and exhaust airflows, without influence of 
clogging filters or ductwork pressure drop. It ensures the highest efficiency 
for the system. So that, energy savings are at their maximum.

CO

2  

detection

Based on the level of CO

2

 in the room, a 

consequence of people occupancy, CO

sensors are a really good indicators to 
modulate the supply airflows, and allow reliable 
measurement of the concentrations of CO

2

 

in a zone. The analysis principle consists in 
measuring the absorption of infrared light in 
order to determine the concentration in a room. 
This method gives a very accurate response 
and is not affected by any other pollution 
(humidity, dust, etc.).

Presence detection

The presence sensors located in the main rooms 
(at least 1 sensor in one or several main rooms) 
send the information to the system (presence 
detected or not) with a timer that depends on 
the period through luminosity measurement 
(day or night). This timer keeps the detection 
at the maximum level during 20 or 45 minutes 
after the last detection, to optimize the quality 
of detection. Timer day = 20 min ; Timer night 
= 45 min. When there is detection, the local 
supply airflow is increased to ensure the best 
air quality. If there is no detection, the local 
supply airflow is reduced to optimize energy 
savings.
