Product description

Comfort model

• Comfort model with preheating register, sound-optimised housing, with additional insulation and cross-counterflow heat exchanger.
• Unit in right-hand version.
• ISO Coarse 80 % (G4) filter in the exhaust air and ISO ePM1 55 % (F7) pollen filter in the outside air.

Brief description

• Central, compact, very quiet domestic ventilation unit with heat recovery.
• For controlled ventilation and air extraction.
• Highly efficient ventilation unit achieves energy efficiency class A.
• Especially suitable for modern new buildings or redevelopments (e.g. flats).
• The narrow ventilation unit (width: 59.5 cm) is also particularly predestined for kitchen installation.
• KfW and NRW subsidies are available.
• Easy, very time-saving installation with the wall bracket included in the scope of delivery.
• A filter cascade (ISO Coarse 80 % (G4) / ISO ePM1 55 % (F7)) in the outside air is possible to increase the filter service life.
• All units are equipped with state-of-the-art cross-counterflow heat exchangers or enthalpy heat exchangers with hygiene certificates according to VDI 6022, sheet 1.
• Complete separation of exhaust air/supply air ducts throughout the unit. This prevents unwanted recirculation of air. Viruses (e.g. Corona virus) and bacteria are therefore not transmitted.
• RLS 1 WR room air control system included in the scope of delivery.
• All domestic ventilation units can be controlled via the APP (air@home) and the browser-based web tool (www.air-home.de) using an integrated LAN interface.
• USB connection as a standard feature for commissioning, control system update and service.
• All units are equipped with highly energy-efficient fans with EC technology.
• The integrated/automatic constant volumetric flow control ensures permanent compliance with the set volumetric flow under all operating conditions (e.g. filter contamination, air valve settings). This also results in easier commissioning/air volume measurement at the valves.
• Combination sensor (humidity/temperature) integrated as standard in the exhaust air enables demand-driven ventilation operation as well as an intelligent frost protection and dehumidification strategy (excess humidity protection).
• All units are characterized by a frost protection strategy adapted to the real demand.
• Two input contacts (12 V and 230 V) are available for, e.g., safety shutdown.
• Various inputs/outputs enable a control connection to other building service installations, e.g., the heat pump.
• Integrated MODBUS interface (TCP/IP and RTU) enables integration in the building control system.
• The optional K-SM plug-in module enables integration into KNX building control systems.
• The optional E-SM plug-in module enables integration into EnOcean systems.
• Optional additional circuit boards ZP 1 and ZP 2 for expansion functions such as “pressure constancy control” of the EC fans, zone shutter, brine earth heat exchanger (regulated pump), filter differential pressure measurement.
• Maximum unit flexibility thanks to a wide range of equipment/connection options
• Modern unit module technology allows easy retrofitting (e.g. pre-heating, bypass) as well as high user-friendliness for service and maintenance.
