4.8 Cooling The function is only available if active cooling in the form of a cooling element is installed and configured. The function is used to ensure that active cooling can be used if certain set preconditions are met. Cooling Settings 3.1 Cooling Type Select the type of cooling coil installed.
Page 21
4.9 Dehumidification The function is used to lower the relative humidity in the room by dehumidification. When dehumidification of the room is demanded, the energy content of the air (enthalpy) is measured continuously in the fresh air and exhaust air respectively. The air that is dehumidified and supplied to the room will thus always be the air that requires the least energy for dehumidification.

6.5 Filters To achieve required sizing, some Ventum units use two standard-sized filters butted against each other. Both filter sized will need to be ordered to replace the filters. Ventum units come with one or two standard-sized 2” filters per airstream. If two filters per airstream are required, the two must be butted end-to-end within the unit filter rack in both airstreams.
