Renewable energies will become the norm for our energy sup- In our integral units, we have therefore combined the necessary

self-generated power from renewable sources. The goal of the
energy transition is independence from fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are in decline on the electricity market. Nowadays,
alternative energies from the sun, wind and water are being used
to generate power. This means electricity will remain our primary
energy source well into the future. So there is plenty of scope for
implementing the energy transition in your own home.
With the extrapolation of the energy saving ordinance (EnEV), the
energy requirements for residential and non-residential buildings
are increasing steadily. Reduction of the annual heat demand is
essentially achieved by decreasing transmission heat loss through
the building envelope. The proportion of ventilation heat loss in
the total heat demand is therefore constantly increasing and cor-
responds approximately to that of the transmission heat demand
of the building. The accessories
As one of the most important manufacturers of products in the Our accessories, from a simple pipe bend to a user friendly control

our environment.
We have invested much time and care in the development of ven-
tilation units and integral ventilation systems. This has evolved
into a reliable technology that guarantees maximum convenience.

The reasons
When people breathe, cook and shower, they release carbon di-
oxide, odours, heat and water vapour into the indoor air. For
example, up to 8 kg of water per day is released into the indoor
air by an average family of three.

tial. Only a controlled ventilation system can noticeably decrease
the ventilation heat demand without the risk of humidity damage.

Heating mode
Heat is transferred to the room air via the heat exchanger. The
multi stage fan constantly circulates the indoor air, which is
cleaned in the process by the integral filter. The air changes en-

Cooling mode
Heat is extracted from the indoor air by the heat exchanger and
transferred to the cooling source via the duct system. In the pro-
cess, condensate can be created at the heat exchanger of the in-

Flow rates are determined on the basis of DIN 1946-6, which rec-

into account. For ventilation systems marked with an "E" (particu-
larly energy efficient), adherence to the maximum flow velocity in
all ducts (apart from manifolds) is absolutely essential.

LVE flexible air distribution system

General information Installation example with distributor and ceiling outlet set into
the floor above
This central, plastic air distribution system is designed for inte-
gration in the insulation layer below the screed, in suspended 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
ceilings or in lightweight construction walls. It is unique due to
its high level of robustness and low installed height of just 52 mm.
The patented oval pipe comprises a robust corrugated outer pipe
and a smooth inner pipe, through which air flow rates of up to
45 m³/h can be transported with a moderate pressure drop. The
small number of components and the intelligent "click" connection
system enable fast installation without tools.

The pipe and profiles can be connected and made airtight using outlet
push-fit adaptors.
Several ducts installed side by side can reduce the load bearing
capacity of the screed when embedded in the floor; a minimum
clearance of approx. 120 mm is therefore recommended. If this 7
cannot be achieved due to building characteristics, the relevant
screed area must be reinforced.

Cleaning 6
Due to the radiating design and the resulting short duct runs, the
pipework can be easily cleaned. The system can be cleaned via
the distributor with integral inspection port as well as via the air 3 4 5
outlets, using a combined brush/vacuum system. The distribu-
tor cover can be removed together with the adjustment device,
making subsequent adjustments to the air flow rate superfluous. 2
Cleaning apertures should also be provided at the lowest point of
the risers (main distribution); the installation of tees in connection 1
with cleaning covers has proven to be a good solution.

lation pipe DN 75 or DN 90
When designing the air distribution system, assessment of the
total pressure drop and the adjustment of individual air flow rates
are of key importance. If the design information is observed, cor-
rect operation of the ventilation system in detached houses is
generally ensured.
For a rough sizing estimate, it is sufficient to determine the pres-
sure drop of the least favourable line (long duct run, multiple
bends) from the distributor to the air outlet. To do this, the pres-
sure drop of the ducts, bends and air outlets must be added to-
gether with the help of the pressure drop table for the determined
flow rate of the line. A maximum value of 65 Pa should not be
exceeded.
1 The calculated air flow rates to DIN 1946-6 for each room are
adjusted centrally at the distributor. No regulation is required for
D0000059571 the line with the highest pressure drop. The system is balanced at
the other connections by means of the integral adjustment devices.
The required settings are either specified when designing the
ventilation system, or can be determined using the "Ventilation
1 Adaptor bend LVE ÜB-U Navigator" software. Due to the fact that the flow rate is restricted
in advance through the distributor connecting piece, no more than
two distributors should be joined to a main duct.

——To prevent cross-talk,18the Lüftungsgerät
ventilation ducts between the dis-
tributor and outlet must be at least 5 m long.
——Use suitable profiles for changes of direction.
——Any superfluous apertures in the distribution and discharge
equipment must be sealed using dummy covers.
——To allow regular cleaning of the system and balancing of the
air flow rates, the air distributor boxes must remain accessible
at all times.
——If, due to building characteristics, ventilation ducts have to be
laid close together in the floor, we recommend reinforcing the
screed in this area by installing a steel reinforcement panel.
The required panel thickness must be determined by the
screed contractor.

A "short circuit" between the outdoor air and exhaust air must be
prevented. This can be achieved either by means of a minimum
clearance of 2 m or through building characteristics (e.g. house
corner, roof ridge).

LVS flexible air distribution system

Material list (ventilation sets):


A range of basic and extension sets is available in our product
range overview, enabling easy combination of ventilation system
materials and a rough estimate of the material costs. This is di-
vided into:
——Distribution of supply and extract air
——Connection of the distributor to the ventilation unit
——Connection of outdoor and exhaust air to the ventilation unit
By combining the different sets, a wide range of ventilation sys-
tems can be assembled. The sets are put together on the basis
of our experience. Due to engineering or on-site conditions, the
actual materials required may differ from the components con-
tained in the ventilation sets.
When selecting a ventilation set, engineers generally base their
decision on the number of ventilation lines or the number of dis-
tributors required, as determined by the air flow rate calculation.
This enables a rough calculation of the material costs to be made
before the detailed design stage of the ventilation system.

LFK flat duct system

LFK flat duct system Distributor box

General information
The LFK flat duct system is a robust air distribution system made
from non-combustible, zinc-plated sheet steel. It is unique due to
its low installed height of only 50 mm, which enables space sav-
ing installation in floor structures, lightweight construction walls 6
or suspended ceilings. Due to the smooth surface, the pressure 5
drop is significantly lower compared to flexible systems. Cleaning 4
the ducts is therefore also decidedly easier. The large number of

D0000042151
3
components and profiles as well as an extensive range of acces- 2
sories allow just about any form of duct routing with the LFK flat 1
duct system.
Installation Distributor box, ground floor
The central air distributor can be used for the supply and extract
air area with the option of connecting up to four flat ducts of
various sizes. It should be positioned as centrally as possible.
The integral inspection port must be kept accessible. The main
distribution can be connected to the ventilation unit either at the
side or the top.
6
A push-fit system is used for installing the ducts and profiles, 5
which are sealed with a suitable adhesive tape so as to be airtight. 4
The ducts are equipped with integral fixing tabs for securing them 3

D0000042152
to the floor. 7
1
For wall or ceiling mounting, ducts and profiles should be secured
additionally, for example with a perforated strip.
To prevent structure-borne noise and to level out any uneven- Distributor box, upper floor
ness, we recommend laying edge insulation strips on the rough
concrete.
Structural considerations
Ducts and profiles have been designed for a screed covering of up
to 50 mm. Several ducts installed side by side may reduce the load First floor
bearing capacity of the screed. Adequate reinforcement must be 6
employed in addition if this cannot be avoided. Impact sound insu- 5
lation should not be interrupted due to the risk of structure-borne 4
noise transmission. 3

LWF folded spiral-seam tube system

LWF folded spiral-seam tube system


General information
The robust spiral-seam tube system to DIN 24175 consists of pipes
and profiles made from zinc-plated sheet steel. Due to the very
large cross-sectional areas, compared to other distribution sys-
tems, high flow rates with low pressure drops can be achieved.
This system is therefore mostly used for the main distribution of
supply and extract air. It is also very suited for laying in attics, in
suspended ceilings or within wooden joist ceilings.
Installation
The profiles (bends, tees, reducers, pipe connectors) are delivered

PIC00002810
with pre-assembled rolling ring seals made from age-resistant
EPDM rubber. Installation is therefore extremely simple, as pipes
and profiles can simply be pushed into each other. Airtightness
is ensured through the specified unrolling of the seal. For per-
manent connections, the profiles should be fixed to the pipe with Thermal insulation of air ducts to DIN 1946, Part 6

Air outlets Comfort zone in a room with transverse air flow

Comfort and draught


In order to achieve a comfortable room climate without drafts A
using controlled mechanical ventilation, the type, number and
position of the air outlets must be selected carefully. Here, supply
air routing is of key importance.
Depending on the temperature, air streams with a flow velocity
of approx. 0.2 m/s are experienced as draughty if the occupants
of the room are sitting down. For this reason, the maximum flow
rate given in the specifications for the vents used should not be C
exceeded. In ventilation systems with decentralised external wall D
vents, integral wind pressure protection ensures a draught-free
fresh air supply, regardless of the wind loads on the facade.
B
If supply air temperatures lie more than 6 °C below room tem-
perature, they are generally felt to be uncomfortably cold. For
central ventilation systems with heat recovery, fresh air is supplied
at a temperature of approx. 18 °C so that there is no noticeable
cooling down of the room. The amount of air entering the room

ventilation system guideline. In some cases, additional require-
ments can be imposed with regard to the installation of ventilation
systems, e.g. in special constructions.
Measures to ensure fulfilment of the legal fire safety requirements
include the use of fire-resistant ventilation ducts and fire dampers.
These components require a general type approval and may only
be installed in accordance with their usability certification.
Chapter 5.3.3 of DIN 1946-6 "Ventilation for residential buildings"
refers to the observance of state legal regulations.
When designing a ventilation system, clarify whether the system
lies within the scope of M-LüAR and the applicable state building
regulations.
There are no fire safety requirements
——for buildings in building classes 1 and 2,
——within apartments,
——within residential units of not more than 400 m² over not more
than two storeys.
Therefore, as a rule, no fire safety requirements must be observed
in low-height detached houses, e.g. not more than two full storeys
and in residential buildings with not more than two apartments.
The same applies to apartment buildings if ventilation units and
ventilation ducts are installed inside the dwellings. Nevertheless,
the apertures of the outdoor and exhaust air ducts in the facade
must be carefully considered.
If, however, central ventilation systems are installed in multi storey
buildings, fire safety facilities are required due to the shafts which
then have to be installed for the ventilation ducts.
If fire safety requirements have to be met, this generally does not
only apply to the ventilation system but to all the building service
installations. In this case, a fire safety concept similar to the ven-
tilation concept is generally required. In this concept, the solutions
foreseen to fulfil the protective aims specific to the project are
described. In some cases, these can also exceed the requirements
given in the ventilation system guideline.

In addition to DIN 1946-6, DIN 18017-3 must be observed if there
are bathrooms and toilets in the apartment with no external walls.
This standard only applies for fan-assisted extract air systems, and
includes specifications for design and operation in windowless
rooms.
Due to their construction and operation, these LWE 40, LA 30 WRG,
LA 50 and LA 60 ventilation units, in combination with the RCT
comfort programming unit, cannot be directly allocated to one
of the ventilation systems described and are therefore not fully
covered by these standards. Therefore it is not always possible to
base a design on the standards named above. However, experi-
ence shows that it is still possible to draw up a ventilation concept
which takes into account aspects relating to structural physics,
ventilation and building services as well as hygiene.
To do this, the ventilation units are engineered in line with re-
quirements to DIN 1946-6 for standard ventilation. Units with heat
recovery are installed in the supply air areas. The extract air areas,
however, are regarded as windowless rooms and designed for
demand-based ventilation according to DIN 18017-3.

Ventilation with central supply air, extract air and heat recovery
LWZ 70 E

Compact units for ventilating apartments and detached houses;


heat recovery from the extract air via the cross-countercurrent
heat exchanger; easily replaceable filters (G 3) for filtering the
outdoor and extract air; air connections at the top of the unit; three
possible air flow rates. Floorstanding installation or wall mount-
ing; casing made from zinc-plated, powder-coated sheet steel.
Mode of operation
The unit uses two fans in separate ducts, each with a filter mat, to
draw in outdoor air and expel extract air from rooms which are
subject to odours or humidity (kitchen, bathroom, WC). Both these
air streams are routed via a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger.
The outdoor air absorbs heat and the extract air releases heat. The
air ducts for outdoor and extract air are completely separate, to
prevent any transfer of odours from the extract air to the outdoor
air when the unit is in operation. A controlled flow of heated
supply air is blown into the apartment via suitable air ducts and
adjustable inlet and outlet vents, and the cooled exhaust air is
expelled through the roof or a wall outlet. The unit is equipped
with constant flow rate fans. The integral PCB adjusts the speed
of the two fans to keep the set air flow rate constant, independent
of the air resistance. The speeds of the two fans are therefore
not always constant. A central control unit ensures reliable unit
operation and minimum energy consumption whilst maintaining
At a glance maximum comfort. It ensures that the selected set air flow rates
remain constant. The controls enable an infinitely variable adjust-

display also shows the operating state, current temperatures and
any faults. Pressure-dependent filter changes are also indicated.

Ventilation with central supply air, extract air and heat recovery
LWZ 170 E/370 plus

Compact units for ventilating apartments and detached houses;


heat recovery from the extract air via the cross-countercurrent
heat exchanger; easily replaceable filters for filtering the outdoor
and extract air; air connections at the top of the unit; three pos-
sible air flow rates. Floorstanding installation or wall mounting;
casing made from zinc-plated, powder-coated sheet steel.
Mode of operation
The unit uses two fans in separate channels, each with a filter mat,
to draw in outdoor air and expel extract air from rooms which
are subject to odours or humidity (kitchen, bathroom, WC). Both
air streams are routed via a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger
where the outdoor air absorbs heat and the extract air releases
heat. The air ducts for outdoor and extract air are completely
separate, to prevent any transfer of odours from the extract air to
the outdoor air when the unit is in operation. A controlled flow
of heated supply air is blown into the apartment via suitable air
ducts and adjustable vents, and the cooled exhaust air is expelled
through the roof or a wall outlet. The unit is equipped with con-

Ventilation with central supply air, extract air and heat recovery
LWZ 100 plus LI/RE

This especially flat compact unit is the ideal solution for venti-
lating apartments with suspended ceilings. It will fit neatly into
the intervening space, together with all the air ducts. Variable air
connections on the sides of the unit allow routing of the extract
and supply air. Heat is recovered from the extract air via a highly
efficient cross-countercurrent heat exchanger. The integral electric
preheating coil protects the heat exchanger from damage caused
by ice formation. By means of a combined exhaust/outdoor air
duct, it is connected via a single pipe directly through the external
wall. In the surface mounted version, a remote control can be
installed on an existing switch box or directly onto a wall. The
casing is made from zinc-plated sheet steel and is coated white at
all points where it is visible. Key features of the unit are its easily
replaceable filters for filtering the outdoor and extract air and its
space saving ceiling mounting for suspended ceilings.
Mode of operation
A fan extracts air subject to odours or humidity from the kitchen,
bathroom and WC, for example. The stale air is expelled outdoors
through a filter and a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger. A fan
channels fresh outdoor air into the supply air areas through a filter
and the cross-countercurrent heat exchanger. The air streams are
routed through separate ducts. The outdoor air absorbs heat. The
extract air gives off heat. The air ducts for outdoor and extract air
At a glance are completely separate, to prevent any transfer of odours from
the extract air to the outdoor air when the unit is in operation. A

Humidity protection ventilation remains active. In this operating
mode, ventilation is switched on at fixed intervals. The humidity
sensor in the extract air determines the runtime. The ventilation
unit monitors the humidity content of the extract air and adjusts
the air flow rate accordingly. An integral, automatically controlled
bypass sidesteps heat recovery in summer so that cool outdoor
air can flow in.

however, are regarded as windowless rooms and designed for

This procedure appears to us to be permissible for the following
reasons:
——A large part of the ventilation operation includes heat recov-

——Ventilation which is sufficient for an extract air area without
windows to DIN 18017-3 should also be sufficient for a room
with windows and therefore attributable infiltration.
Our ventilation concepts are the result of careful calculation, even
if not all the requirements of the relevant standards are fulfilled
in every case. In the case of a specific construction project, an
additional examination should nevertheless be carried out by an
architect or installer, and the user informed of any deviations from
the DIN standards.

Ventilation with decentralised supply air, extract air and heat recovery
LA 30 WRG

Highly efficient decentralised ventilation unit with heat recovery


through a regenerator according to the principle of a reversible air
stream with low power consumption and quiet operation.
Mode of operation
These decentralised ventilation units only function in pairs in al-
ternate operation. One unit operates for 70 seconds in supply air
mode, the other for 70 seconds in extract air mode. The air direc-
tion is then changed. This ensures that the sum of supply air flow
rates is equal to the sum of extract air flow rates. A central control
unit, available as an accessory, is required to control the regular
alternation between supply air and extract air mode. Depending
on the control unit, up to 10 units can be connected. The units
can be switched on and off with a twin rocker switch, available
as an accessory. In addition, there are four flow rate stages to
choose from (15 m³/h to 38 m³/h). Several control units can be
connected to one twin rocker switch. Any commercially available
series switch can be used. If a pair of units, working in differential
mode, are installed in two different rooms, air must be able to
flow between the two rooms.

Ventilation with decentralised supply and extract air, without heat recovery
LA 50

The LA 50 is a radial extractor with star-shaped noise attenuating


elements, which minimise noise pollution. It is designed so that
the extract air can be routed outdoors from damp rooms such as
the kitchen, bathroom and WC through house walls. Supply air is
provided via adjacent rooms. The high efficiency of the fan reduces
operating costs. It is easy to install and operate. Visually appealing
design thanks to a contemporary, white designer internal panel.
Mode of operation
The LA 50 transports air subject to odours or humidity from extract
air areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and WCs out of the building,
directly or through exhaust air shafts. This creates slight negative
pressure in the apartment. An air mixture arises between the
supply and extract air areas due to the overflow apertures in the
doors. Fresh, filtered air flows into the living spaces and bedrooms
through the external wall air apertures. In combination with the
LA 30 WRG ventilation unit with heat recovery, even higher energy
and cost efficiency can be achieved.

Ventilation with decentralised supply and extract air, without heat recovery
LA 60

Demand-dependent ventilation unit with integral humidity sen-


sor for automatic, humidity-dependent flow rate control. Unit for
surface or flush mounting with integral fan section, check valve to
prevent air leaks, white decorative panel and easy-to-change filter.
Mode of operation
Subject to demand, the humid, odorous air is transported out of
the building or into a central extract air shaft through LA 60 units
in the bathroom and WC. This creates slight negative pressure in
the apartment. Due to this negative pressure, fresh, filtered air
flows in of its own accord through air apertures positioned in
the external walls of living spaces and bedrooms. An air mixture
arises between the supply and extract air areas due to the over-
flow apertures in the doors. Depending on the airtightness of the
building, decentralised external wall apertures in supply air areas
are not essential. In some cases, natural infiltration due to the
permeability of the building envelope provides sufficient fresh air.

Ventilation with central extract air and heat recovery
LWM 250

The central extract air module can be used for heat recovery with
a brine | water heat pump. When combined with a brine | water
heat pump, the heat recovered from the extract air is transferred
to the brine circuit. The seasonal performance factor can be im-
proved in this way by approx. 10 %. The extract air module can be
installed directly above or next to the WPC/WPF with the use of a
wall mounting bracket. The control unit provided can be used to
set a convenient ventilation program with three ventilation levels,
and to adjust the operating modes. A red LED signals that the filter
is dirty and should be replaced.
Mode of operation
The unit can be used as a central extract air module for heat recov-
ery together with a brine | water heat pump. When combined with
a brine | water heat pump, the heat recovered from the extract
air is transferred to the brine circuit. Per 100 m² ventilated living
space, the heat source output can be reduced by approx. 700 W.
The unit can be installed directly on the heat pump or on a wall
mounting bracket. The control unit provided can be used to set a
complete ventilation program with three ventilation levels, and to
adjust the operating modes. An LED signals that the filter is dirty
and should be replaced.

This unit has a constant flow rate fan. You can find the required
air flow rate for your home in the design/engineering documents.
Use the table to find the flow rate stage which corresponds most
closely to the air flow rate you require. If the required air flow rate
lies between two of the air flow rates given in the table, select the
higher value if occupancy of the residential unit is high. If occu-
pancy is low you can select the lower value. The factory setting
for standard ventilation is flow rate stage 2 and for demand-de-
pendent ventilation, it is flow rate stage 3.
If required, assign a new flow rate stage to the fan stages with
DIP switches S3 and S4. DIP switches S3 and S4 are located on
the A3 PCB.

Integral system for ventilation of apartments and detached houses


as well as central DHW heating. Supply air is supplied on a de-
centralised basis; air flow rates can be infinitely adjusted. Heat
recovery from the extract air through a heat pump unit; the recov-
ered heat is fed into the DHW cylinder; as an option with internal
indirect coil and integral solar controller.
Mode of operation
The ventilation unit draws extract air from rooms which are sub-
ject to odours or humidity (kitchen, bathroom and WC) through
ventilation ducts by means of a fan. This air flow is routed through
the heat exchanger (evaporator) of the heat pump, extracting the
waste heat it contains. The DHW is heated to 60 °C in a second
heat exchanger (condenser) using electrical energy (compressor).
The cooled extract air is routed to the outdoors as exhaust air. The
decentralised supply of fresh air for the building or apartment is
provided via vents in the external walls.

Information regarding separate outdoor air intake via the "out-


door air mechanical ventilation opt." connection
To guarantee high indoor air quality if the unit is installed in the
cellar, ensure that the outdoor air drawn in for controlled me-
chanical ventilation is contaminated with as little bacteria, dust,
snow, etc. as possible.
"Short circuits" with the exhaust air or other systems (e.g. chim-
ney, dryer, etc.) must be prevented. Air intake directly above
ground level or in narrow pits and shafts is not permissible. We
therefore recommend drawing in outdoor air for mechanical venti-
lation via the "outdoor air mechanical ventilation opt." connection,
separately from the outdoor air for the heat pump and at least
1 m above the ground.
For a separate intake of outdoor air for mechanical ventilation, the
outdoor air filter inside the unit must be removed (see installation
instructions for the unit). In this case, a filter with at least filter
class GI must be installed in the separate outdoor air duct as a
replacement, e.g. LWF FBG 160. This filter is not included in the
standard delivery for the unit and must be ordered separately.

"Specifications" for the fill water must be observed. It may also
be necessary to soften or desalinate the fill water. The amount of softened water is calculated using the following
formula.
Recheck the water quality 8 to 12 weeks after commissioning and
as part of annual system maintenance.
The HZEA water softening device which can be found in our range ‫ܭ‬ௐௐெ

HZEA / HZEN Sample calculation for the amount of softened water:
KWWM = 6000 l °dH
°dHist = 20 °dH
VWWM = 6000 l °dH / 20 °dH = 300 l
One cartridge generates 300 l of softened water.
Sample service life calculation:
VANL = 200 l
VWWM = 300 l
Service life (a) = VWWM / (VANL* 0.1)
A system volume of 200 l and 300 l of softened water results in a

Design
Integral units with central supply air

Sizing Example:
The design is based on the standard heat load to EN 12831. Standard heat load: 9.0 kW; standard outside temperature: -14 °C
flow temperature: 35 °C.
At falling outside temperatures, the heat demand of the building
rises. At the same time the heating output of the air | water heat Results taken from the graph:
pump decreases. The integral electric booster heater switches on
automatically when the heat demand rises. However, this results The resulting dual mode point is -8 °C. The unit can be operated
in higher energy consumption. economically.

In general, this performance offers an economical range of appli-


cation, as long as the output limits of the unit are not exceeded.
This range of application presupposes an average heat pump tariff
for Germany.
Depending on the location and heating system, a higher heat load
can also still be economical using this unit.
The design is based on the dual mode point. The design heat
load must not exceed the maximum heating output under any
circumstances.
In addition, the following points must be taken into account:
——Heat pump coverage sinks with increasing heat load and de-
creasing standard design temperature, i.e. the proportion of
direct electrical heating increases.
——A higher energy consumption must be expected in the first
heating season due to the dry heating effect.
——6 % more energy is consumed per additional °C of room tem-
perature.
——DHW heating coverage depends strongly on the water con-
sumption and the DHW temperature set. e.g. E.g. DHW heat-
ing is fully covered by the heat pump for a DHW temperature
of 45 °C.
——An energy cost analysis must be carried out for borderline
designs.
The integral system is essentially designed in the same way as
an air | water heat pump. Based on the standard heat load and
the corresponding outside temperature, the resulting dual mode
point of the system can be determined from the graph via the
heat load line. For new builds, a heating threshold temperature
of 10 °C must be set.
Economical operation is generally achieved if a dual mode point
lower than -5 °C is set, as the heat pump then achieves coverage
of at least 95 %.

Ventilation, DHW heating and heating
LWZ 304/404 flex

APPLICATION: Integral system with air | water heat pump for cen-
tral ventilation and heating, combined with external DHW cylinder
in new builds and detached houses up to a 7.5 / 9 kW heat load.
EQUIPMENT/CONVENIENCE: Integral, electronic, weather-com-
pensated control unit for regulating the heating output, DHW
output and ventilation. Intelligent control unit with preselected
programs for fan, heating, DHW and absence/holiday. Additional
functions such as humidity protection ventilation with integral
humidity sensor in the extract air, air flow rate reduction when
humidity is too low, passive cooling and dry heating program.
Integral programming unit, remote control with humidity sensor
optional, Internet Service Gateway (ISG) with optional KNX and
PV optimisation. The refrigerant circuit of the air | water heat
pump is equipped with all necessary safety equipment. Elec-
tric emergency heater for heating and DHW heating. Possible to
combine with external cylinders of various sizes. High efficiency
cross-countercurrent heat exchanger made from plastic with eco-
nomic constant flow fans. Outdoor air is preheated by a refrig-
erant circuit supercooler. Supply air/extract air filter class G4/G4.
EFFICIENCY: High efficiency thanks to optimised refriger-
ant circuit; energy efficient through constant flow rate fan.
INSTALLATION: The outdoor air, supply air, exhaust air, and extract
air connections are located at the top of the unit. Easy access to
electrical connection panel.
At a glance
Mode of operation
——Integral system with air | water heat pump for heating and
The integral system is equipped with an exhaust air and a sup-
central ventilation
ply air fan. Outdoor air is drawn in with the supply air fan, and
——Can be flexibly combined with 300 l or 400 l DHW cylinder for extract air from rooms which are subject to odours or humidity
individual DHW convenience (kitchen, bathroom, WC) is expelled by the exhaust air fan. Both
air streams are routed via a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger
——Electrical connection panel can be accessed with the unit in which the outdoor air absorbs heat and the extract air releases
closed heat. Air ducts for outdoor/supply air and extract/exhaust air are
completely separate, to prevent any transfer of odours or mixing
——Option of connecting a photovoltaic system via ISG
of air streams when the unit is in operation. The heated supply
——Matrix display with "Touch-Wheel" for intuitive operation air is blown into the apartment via suitable air ducts and adjust-
able vents, and the exhaust air is discharged to the outside via
——Integral high efficiency pump for energy saving heat distribu- the evaporator. When there is a heat demand, outdoor air is also
tion channelled through the evaporator and its energy extracted. This
Safety and quality energy is boosted to a higher temperature level by means of the
heat pump, to heat the DHW and the heating system. When tem-
peratures are very low, or when the heat demand is very high, the
unit covers the residual heat demand via an electric emergency/
booster heater.

APPLICATION: Integral system with reversible air | water heat pump


for central ventilation, central DHW heating, heating, and cooling
in new builds and detached houses up to a 7.5 / 9 kW heat load.
EQUIPMENT/CONVENIENCE: Integral, electronic, weather-compen-
sated control unit for regulating the heating output, DHW output,
solar thermal system, cooling and ventilation. Intelligent control
unit with preselected programs for fan, heating, DHW and ab-
sence/holiday. Additional functions such as humidity protection
ventilation with integral humidity sensor in the extract air, air
flow rate reduction when humidity is too low, passive cooling and
dry heating program. Integral programming unit, remote control
with humidity sensor optional, Internet Service Gateway (ISG)
with optional KNX and PV optimisation. The refrigerant circuit of
the air | water heat pump is equipped with all necessary safety
equipment. Cooling via a reversible refrigerant circuit running
directly through fan convectors, or surface cooling via a buffer
cylinder. Electric emergency/booster heater for heating and DHW
heating. The integral DHW cylinder has a special enamel coat-
ing and is equipped with a protective magnesium anode with
electronic monitoring. High efficiency cross-countercurrent heat
exchanger made from plastic with economic constant flow fans.
Outdoor air is preheated by a refrigerant circuit supercooler. Ad-
ditional solar heat exchangers in the heating circuit for utilising
solar thermal energy. Supply air/extract air filter class M5/G4.

——Ergonomically designed programming unit for easy operation air streams are routed via a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger
in which the outdoor air absorbs heat and the extract air releases
Safety and quality heat. Air ducts for outdoor/supply air and extract/exhaust air are
completely separate, to prevent any transfer of odours or mixing
of air streams when the unit is in operation. The heated supply
air is blown into the apartment via suitable air ducts and adjust-
Awards able vents, and the exhaust air is discharged to the outside via
the evaporator. When there is a heat demand, outdoor air is also
channelled through the evaporator and its energy extracted. This
energy is boosted to a higher temperature level by means of the
heat pump, to heat the DHW and the heating system. The SOL
version also provides both DHW heating as well as room heating
backup. An additional heat exchanger is included in the common
return to the heat pump. When temperatures are very low, or
when the heat demand is very high, the unit covers the residu-
al heat demand via an electric emergency/booster heater. The
refrigeration unit of the heat pump may be reversed. In cooling
mode, heat can then be extracted from the heating circuit and
transferred to the outdoor air.

Function diagram Cooling of buildings


23 24 25 26 27 1 2 3 4 Due to the reversible design of the refrigerant circuit this can also
be used for active cooling. The unit is sized for heating operation. A
comparison of the cooling capacity of the unit with the cooling load
5 of the building shows the potential of cooling in summer mode.
The sizing of the distribution system is crucial for the transfer of
6 thermal loads. Underfloor heating systems are only suitable to a
limited degree for the transfer of high loads, as the transfer rate
is low and frequent cycling of the heat pump for a higher cooling
7 capacity cannot be prevented. If the cooling capacity of the unit
exceeds the transfer rate of the distribution system at the design
22
point, a buffer cylinder suitable for cooling operation must be
provided. Alternatively, the cooling capacity of the distribution
8 system can be increased by connecting individual fan convectors.
21
9 An additional "FES Comfort" control unit must be installed in the
20 lead room for cooling operation. The formation of condensate in
conjunction with surface cooling systems is prevented by addi-
10 tional, integral dew point monitoring.

APPLICATION: Output-controlled integral system with


reversible air | water heat pump for central ventila-
tion, central DHW heating, heating and cooling in new
build and detached houses up to a 10 kW heat load.
EQUIPMENT/CONVENIENCE: Integral, electronic, weather-compen-
sated control unit for output-dependent control of heating output,
DHW output, solar thermal system, cooling and ventilation. In-
telligent control unit with preselected programs for fan, heating,
DHW and absence/holiday. Additional functions such as humidity
protection ventilation with integral humidity sensor in the extract
air, air flow rate reduction when humidity is too low, passive cool-
ing and dry heating program. Integral programming unit, remote
control unit with humidity sensor optional. Internet Service Gate-
way (ISG) with optional KNX and PV optimisation. The refrigerant
circuit of the air | water heat pump is equipped with all necessary
safety equipment. Output-controlled cooling with option of direct
area cooling. Electric emergency/booster heater for heating and
DHW heating. The integral DHW cylinder has a special enamel
coating and is equipped with a protective magnesium anode with
electronic monitoring. High efficiency cross-countercurrent heat
exchanger made from plastic with economic constant flow fans.
Outdoor air is preheated by a refrigerant circuit supercooler. Addi-
tional solar heat exchanger in the heating circuit for utilising solar
thermal energy. Supply air/extract air filter class M5/G4.

air fan. Outdoor air is drawn in by the supply air fan, and extract
——Ergonomically designed programming unit for easy operation air from rooms which are subject to odours or humidity (kitchen,
bathroom, WC) is expelled by the extract air fan. Both air streams
Safety and quality
are routed via a cross-countercurrent heat exchanger. This enables
the outdoor air to absorb heat and the extract air to release heat
accordingly. Air ducts for outdoor/supply air and extract/exhaust
air are completely separate, to prevent any transfer of odours or
Awards mixing of air streams when the unit is in operation. The heated
supply air is blown into the apartment via suitable air ducts and
adjustable vents, and the exhaust air is discharged to the outside
via the evaporator. When there is a heat demand, outdoor air is
also channelled through the evaporator and its energy extracted.
This energy is boosted to a higher temperature level by means of
the heat pump, to heat the DHW and the heating system. When
temperatures are particularly low or the heat demand is high, the
unit covers the residual heat demand via an electric emergency
heater. The refrigeration unit of the heat pump may be reversed. In
cooling mode, heat can then be extracted from the heating circuit
and transferred to the outdoor air.

Function diagram
In spite of the variable cooling capacity, we recommend sepa-
rating the air flows of the heating circuits and those of the unit. 23 24 25 26 27 1 2 3 4
We recommend using a buffer cylinder. The buffer cylinder must
be suitable for cooling, i.e. it must have vapour diffusion-proof
insulation. 5

Cooling without a buffer cylinder is only possible if the heating


system can maintain the minimum flow rate as well as being able 6
to transfer the minimum cooling capacity. In this case the heating
circuits must be permanently open to ensure the minimum flow
rate. An overflow valve is not suitable for this purpose. Specifica- 7
tions can be found in the "Min. flow rate, cooling (without buffer 22
cylinder)" and "Min. living area, active cooling (without buffer
cylinder)" data. 8
21
If cooling is delivered via the underfloor heating system, both
underfloor heating system and actuators must be suitable for 9
cooling. 20
There must always be the possibility of connecting a contact to 10
the individual room control unit and heating circuit distributor for
"cooling" operation. It can and must be possible to actively open 19
11
or close zones by this means in cooling mode. 12
For cooling operation with fan convectors, ensure that the fan 13
convectors have a sufficiently high rating. The minimum flow rate 18 14

must also be ensured. 17 15
An additional "FES Comfort" control unit must be installed in the 16

Installation on screed with impact sound insulation Outdoor air and exhaust air routing through external walls
The air intake and discharge apertures in the external walls should
be arranged around corners. Never direct the exhaust air outlet
toward the windows of neighbouring living spaces or bedrooms.
When positioning air intake and discharge apertures on the same
side of the building, maintain a minimum clearance of at least
2 m between them, to prevent air stream "short circuits" (where
2 3 4 exhaust air is drawn back in). If this is not possible, a separa-
tion between the air streams must be constructed on site, e.g. by
means of a separating wall.

The noise level can be further reduced by using suitable silencers
in the exhaust air duct.

Space requirements
The design must include a sufficiently large, free area in front
of the unit to ensure unhindered opening of the front panel (see
minimum clearances).
If a diverter hood is used, a room height of at least 2200 mm is
required to ensure unrestricted installation of the unit. If the air
hoses are connected directly, a room height of at least 2500 mm
is required.
If a geothermal heat exchanger or solar thermal system is en-
visaged, a greater wall clearance is required (approx. 300 mm).

Outside temperature sensor
An outside temperature sensor is part of the standard delivery
of this unit. Install the outside temperature sensor on a north or
north-easterly wall behind a heated room, approx. 2.5 m above
ground level and 1 m away from windows and doors. The outside
temperature sensor should have full and unprotected exposure
to the weather.
DHW circulation connection
DHW circulation is not recommended for reasons of energy effi-
ciency. If DHW circulation is nevertheless required because lines
are routed awkwardly, it must always be designed in accordance
with applicable standards, i.e. with time and temperature control.

Water quality The annual top-up volume is assumed to be 10 % of the system


volume.
In Germany, the water quality of heating systems is regulated by
VDI 2035. The amount of softened water is calculated using the following
formula.
To prevent damage through scaling, the limits given in chapter
"Specifications" for the fill water must be observed. It may also
be necessary to soften or desalinate the fill water. ‫ܭ‬ௐௐெ
ܸௐௐெ ൌ
Recheck the water quality 8 to 12 weeks after commissioning and ι݀‫ܪ‬
as part of annual system maintenance.
The HZEA water softening device which can be found in our range VWWM Volume of softened water
of accessories is suitable for this purpose. This functions on the KWWM Softened water capacity [l °dH]
basis of ion exchange. The fill water and top-up water are run over °dHist Total water hardness
sodium ion exchange resins and the calcium and magnesium ions
Sample calculation for the amount of softened water:
in the water are exchanged. The result is softened, calcium-free
water. KWWM = 6000 l °dH
HZEA / HZEN °dHist = 20 °dH
VWWM = 6000 l °dH / 20 °dH = 300 l
One cartridge generates 300 l of softened water.
Sample service life calculation:
VANL = 200 l
VWWM = 300 l
Service life (a) = VWWM / (VANL* 0.1)
A system volume of 200 l and 300 l of softened water results in a
service life of 15 years.
