5.1

Installation general

Installation must take place under:
• Quality requirements ventilation systems dwellings.
• Quality requirements balanced ventilation in dwellings.
• The regulations for ventilation of dwellings and residential
buildings.
• The safety regulations for low-voltage installations.
• The regulations for connection to interior sewers in dwell-
ings and residential buildings.
5.2

Placing the appliance

Because of the appliance's weight, mounting the
appliance must always be done by two people!
The appliance can be mounted directly on the wall/ceiling using
the suspension brackets supplied for that purpose. For a vibra-
tion-free result the appliance must be mounted to a solid wall
with a minimum mass of 200 kg/m
stud wall does not suffice! Additional measures such as double
panelling or extra studs are required in that case. In addition,
the following aspects must be taken into account.
• The appliance must be placed level.
• We recommend not to install the heat recovery unit in spa-
ces with an average high RH (for instance bathroom). That
will prevent condensation on the outside of the heat reco-
very unit.
The appliance is only suitable for ceiling or wall
mounting!
• The heat recovery unit must be installed in an insulated,
frost-free room.
• When mounting flexible ducts, bear in mind that it must be
possible to replace them in due course.
• Make sure there is sufficient free space at the appliance to
allow cleaning of the filters and maintaining the appliance. It
must be possible to swing the door open.
• Avoid the use of petroleum-based adhesives in air plant sys-
tems.
• Dwellings with construction moisture must be ventilated nat-
urally during a certain period!
• Install the sleeve and end cap (supplied with the appliance)
on the appliance condensate outlet to close off the opening.

Renovent Sky 300 (Plus) Enthalpy 617605-A

Installation

• Any additional regulations of the local utilities.
• The installation instructions for the Renovent Sky 300 (Plus)
Enthalpy.
• In addition to the above design and installation requirements
and recommendations, the national building and ventilation
regulations must be complied with.
Ceiling mounting:
At least 70 cm at the underside of the appliance and a free
headroom of 1.8 m; if 70 cm free space is not available,
for instance when mounting on top of a suspended ceiling,
there must be sufficient room to partly open and remove the
front panel.
The front panel can be detached after removing a lock
screw at the hinge! (§ 3.4 / nr. 6)
Make sure the filters can always freely be removed, so there
is no frame or other obstacle at the level of the filters!
Wall mounting :
Make sure there is a free space of at least 70 cm at the front
of the appliance and a free headroom of 1.8 m.
• Make sure there is at least 20 cm free space at the appli-
ance side where the electric connections are located, so
connectors and sleeves remain accessible.
Air ducts:
• The air ducts must be mounted air-tight
• The air ducts to and from the dwelling must be fitted with a
muffler.
• Mounting of air ducts to the roof deck must be avoided in
order to prevent sound transmission.
• It is recommended to restrict the external duct pressure in
the design to 100 Pa at the design flow rate in order limit
the total sound level. In all events the practical external duct
pressure must be limited to 150 Pa
• The air velocity must be limited to 5 m/s in the main ducts
and 3,5 m/s in the branches.
• To prevent condensation on the outside of the outdoor air
supply duct and the air exhaust duct downstream of the ap-
pliance, these ducts must be provided with an external va-
pour barrier as far as the appliance. If thermally insulated
piping is used here, additional insulation is not necessary.
