7. OPERATING MODE 7.1 Winter operating mode The return air from the room, with a higher thermal load than the fresh air, crosses the plate heat exchanger, where it gives up part of its thermal load and cools down before being exhausted. The fresh air, with a lower thermal load than the return one from the room, crosses the plate heat exchanger in the opposite direction and heats up before the introduction into...
8. TECHNICAL DATA MODEL Type of ventilation unit UVNR-B (Non Residential Ventilation Units - Bidirectional) Type of drive installed Analog signal on EC fan (0-10Vdc) Type of fans type/nr. EC / 2 EC / 2 EC / 2 EC / 4 EC / 2 Type of heat recovery system (HRS) type/nr.
9. VENTILATION CURVES The graphs below indicate the operating limits of the EC fans installed on the units. Consider the static pressure shown as available for ductwork, having a unit equipped with ePM ≥50% (F7) on the supply side. The operating limits of the units may vary depending on the configuration and the components installed. For different unit configurations, please refer to the selection software or contact the company.
10. OPERATING LIMITS SUMMER WINTER Only with defrost system External temperature [°C] External temperature [°C] All units can operate, within the given limits, with room relative humidity in the not exceeding 65%. It is mandatory to use the units within the operating limits shown in the diagrams above. The warranty will im- mediately expire if the unit is used in working conditions outside the above limits.
11. SOUND DATA The noise level of units is basically due to the fan rotation speed. Obviously, with the same air flow rate, the fan speed will be lower if the required static pressure is low, while it will be higher (and therefore noisier) if the required static pressure is higher.
12. SAFETY AND CONTROL DEVICES • Supply air temperature probe Passive sensor type NTC 10kΩ. Positioned on the supply air side, downstream of the heating/cooling units, it is used to monitor the temperature of the air supplied to the room. It is installed in combination with the temperature control accessories (water coils or post-heating electric resistance).
