MATERIALS
When choosing a ventilation system, it is highly important to pay attention to the heat exchanger. Recuperators can be rotary and lamellar. Each of them has its own efficiency and the percentage of heat recovery, which depends on such factors:
Another component of the ventilation system is a bypass. The principle of work of this component can be examined in the example.
Example. Let’s suppose that the air temperature outside in the springtime is +16 degrees centigrade, with the very active sun’s rays. If local windows face the sunny side and the quality of double-glazed windows in low, then the transmitted ultraviolet light is generated to heat from the floor. Thus, the temperature in the room can be +24 – +25 degrees centigrade. The desired room temperature is +22 degrees centigrade.
The sensors on the heat exchanger register that the temperature outside is lower than in the room. Consequently, a bypass turns on, it directs the air from the room past the heat exchanger, and the cold air directly flows into the room. This process is highly important from the point of view of energy efficiency, in order not to turn on the air conditioning in spring period. This principle of operation is relevant during the night in summer, when the temperature indicators of the air outside decrease.
The «heart» of the air handling units is the engine. All high quality ventilation units are equipped with DC motors. One of its advantages is considered to be low energy consumption in comparison with an AC motor. These engines are economical, efficient and silent. For effective quiet operation of an EC engine, the system requires minimum air resistance.
The case of the air handling units is designed to protect equipment from the negative influence of the environment. For example, MAICO WS 320 KB and MAICO 470 KB air handling units can be installed even in the living room. This system has minimal noise characteristics due to the thickness of the sound insulation of the case and the silent engine. In addition, the steel case is covered with a special powder paint, due to which the material does not corrode.
Since in our latitudes the temperature can drop to -20 degrees centigrade, the air needs to be warmed up. As a rule, it is necessary to provide calorifiers in ventilation installations. MAICO units are already available with built-in efficient heaters. They are designed to heat the air before it reaches the heat exchanger. Thanks to this opportunity, you significantly save on heating without feeling discomfort.
MAICO WS 320 KB and MAICO 470 KB occupy leading positions among supply and exhaust units with heat recuperation. This is due to the perfect combination of price and quality. Equipment with such wide capabilities and high quality components from other brands is several times more expensive, which is why MAICO is the leader on the market of climate technology.
MAICO 320 KB and MAICO 470 KB models are almost identical and differ in air flow rates of 320 m3/h and 470 m3/h respectively. They are made with a PTC preheating calorifier and a bypass. The devices operate with minimal noise and are designed for both wall-mounted and vertical mounting. For service work, the units are equipped with an easily accessible USB connector.
Among the main features of MAICO WS 320 KB and MAICO 470 KB installations with heat recovery can be distinguished:
Intellectual control. An important aspect in the work of ventilation equipment is easy operation. In addition to the remote control, installations have an embedded web server. The equipment can be controlled with the mobile application even remotely.
Using the application, the owner can customize the desired modes. In addition, the client has the opportunity to independently create a program of work for the unit, for example plan the work of the equipment by day and week.
The system includes the Plus program, which is designed to save electricity during the summer period, and Vacation mode, which is responsible for the organization of ventilation during the long absence of residents. Thus, returning home after vacations, you find yourself in a room with clean and fresh air.
Economical and highly efficient engines. The constant air flow rate is supported by an EC motor with automatic adjustment. The engine runs on ball bearings and rotates 2 centrifugal fans. It is possible to install 4 ventilation levels from 80 to 320 m3/h with a smooth setting.
Durable and reliable case. The long-term operation of the devices is guaranteed not only by the internal components, but also by the case itself. That is why the case of MAICO 320 KB and MAICO 470 KB is made of sheet steel and coated with powder paint that is resistant to the negative effects of the environment, including corrosion. The inner walls are made of heat-resistant, hygienically safe EEP polymeric material with high sound absorption and thermal insulation.
Energy efficient heat exchanger. In these models of supply and exhaust units you should pay special attention to the plate heat exchanger, the maximum efficiency rate of which is 96%. The recuperator is designed discharge the load from the heating system by transferring heat from the exhaust air to the supply air.
Low noise level. One of the main features of MAICO installations is silent operation. This is due to two factors: an EC engine with a low noise level and a special sound-insulating case coating.
TABLE OF CHARACTERISTICS
Replaceable air filters G4 and F7 guarantee high-quality air cleaning, they clean the air from dust, insects and other small particles. Filter G4 is designed for coarse filtering of exhaust air and stops particles larger than 10 microns. The F7 filter is responsible for the fine purification of the intake air and stops particles with a diameter of more than 1 micron. Thanks to the built-in controller, the user can see an alert about the need to replace filters.
