VEX330H Compact unit
General

VEX330H Compact unit

One of the most compact air handling units with counter flow heat exchanger on the market. Optimised design in terms of temperature efficiency, airflow and energy consumption. Despite being very compact in size, ease of servicing is a key feature.

The VEX330H is ideal for residential ventilation, where the air is separated via the ventilation system, removing the risk of odours and humidly being transferred.

 

 

The side panels on both sides of VEX330H models can be removed (easy access). This allows the unit to function as both a LEFT and RIGHT version.

The unit can also be ordered as an outdoor model. The outdoor unit has a fitted cover that protects it against wind and weather.

Operating conditions

In principle, EXHAUSTO VEX units are designed for use in comfort ventilation - i.e. under ordinary operating conditions.

Where ventilation solutions are required for rooms with high air humidity - e.g. due to humidification, we recommend you make a test calculation with one of our calculation programs. If the calculation shows a risk of condensation after the heat exchanger, an assessment must be made whether the operating conditions can be changed, or whether the unit must be modified to allow condensate to drain off. This is particularly relevant for VEX100CF.

Contact EXHAUSTO for advice on this.

Unique frost protection

VEX330H Bypass de-icing

The VEX330H is designed with de-icing bypass. If there is a risk of icing, then a certain amount of outdoor air will bypass the heat exchanger and go directly to the after heating coil. This increases the demands on the after heating coil’s output. However, it avoids a costly preheating coil. The drawing below is an example of a de-icing situation, where 20% of outdoor air is directed through the bypass damper.

 

Heating coil and de-icing function:
The de-icing situation is shown above, a heating coil is included here. A coil is absolutely necessary, in order for the de-icing function to work correctly. Without the heating coil, the de-icing process will cause the temperature of the supply air to fall and sooner or later the VEX unit will stop because of icing.

The heat exchanger has two forms of frost protection: temperature-controlled or pressure-controlled. The actual de-icing can take place in several ways, depending on whether an after heating coil has been fitted.

Which method is used when?

Frost protection method De-icing starts when Recommended for use in
Temperature-controlled Temperature is below the set value,
e.g. tice < 0 °C
Residences, changing rooms, and
rooms with variable humidity in the winter.
Pressure-controlled Pressure across the heat exchanger exceeds the set value, e.g. + 45 % Offices, schools, after-school club facilities,
and rooms with low humidity in winter.

 

 

Temperature-controlled frost protection Tice

The control system has temperature-controlled frost protection as standard. It is an inexpensive solution and provides sufficient frost-protection in some situations.

A temperature sensor is fitted inside the heat exchanger and if the temperature falls to a pre-set value, de-icing begins. This temperature level is factory set to 0 °C but it can also be changed to a new value via the control system.

Temperature-controlled frost protection triggers the de-icing process even if there is no ice in the heat exchanger.

Pressure-controlled frost protection (requires accessories AFC and DEP)

The control system monitors the actual airflow and also the pressure drop across the heat exchanger. If ice forms in the heat exchanger, the pressure drop across the heat exchanger will increase and when it exceeds a pre-set value, de-icing begins.

Pressure-controlled frost protection only starts de-icing when ice has actually formed, regardless of whether there are sub-zero temperatures.

Certificates

VEX100/VEX100CF/VEX200/VEX300

EXHAUSTO puts great emphasis on providing accurate data. So we use a third party to measure and check our data.

Eurovent certification

All data provided with the VEX100/VEX100CF/VEX200/VEX300 model has been measured.

The units have completed a major test programme in our development department and all of the capacity, efficiency and sound data is collected via testing and in real operating situations.

In accordance with EN1886 and EN13053, Eurovent has tested and certified that EXHAUSTO VEX units meet the following requirements and classes:
Unit’s stiffness:
Air tightness class at -400 Pa:
Air tightness class at +700 Pa:
Filter bypass leakage:
Insulation class:
Thermal bridge class:

D1(M)
L1 (M)
L1 (M)
F9
T2 (M), U1≤1,0
TB3 (M)

This means that a third party has checked that the data that our product calculation program produces complies with the real performance of the unit. Eurovent checks the data by selecting a unit at random and testing that unit at their own facility. If our stated data complies with the Eurovent's test results, we retain our certification. This guarantees the customer that our data is valid.


VDI 6022 - German hygiene standard

EXHAUSTO has designed its units in accordance with the German hygiene standard VDI 6022.

VDI 6022 requirements
The unit's design must make cleaning easy. There may not be areas that cannot physically be cleaned and voids that are inaccessible must be sealed. Plates must be deburred to ensure edges are smooth and corners must be rounded to avoid the risk of injury when cleaning.

In addition,the condensation tray must decline to the outlet, so that water cannot remain in the unit. It is important that the condensation outlet is connected to the drainage system on a horizontal surface.

All non-metallic materials (e.g. seals, filters), are tested to show that they do not promote growth of mould spores and bacteria.


Because the unit is designed in accordance with VDI 6022, it is both more hygienic and easier to clean.

SPLIT version

VEX330H is available as a split version.

With some projects, limited space means that internal transport of the air handling unit is difficult or impossible. This is why the VEX330H is available as a split version. It means that the air handling unit can be assembled and tested at the factory as normal – just without sealant. The air handling unit can therefore be easily taken apart at the installation site, transported as single sections, assembled, sealed and commissioned.

The table below shows the dimensions of the largest section (counterflow heat exchanger) and largest cabinet section, so that it can easily be determined whether there is sufficient space to allow internal transport.

Section Dimensions VEX330H
