VEX340H Compact unit
General

VEX340H Compact unit

An air handling unit with counter flow heat exchanger that has a high temperature efficiency and variable adjustable EC motors, which ensures very low energy consumption.

The VEX340H is ideal for residential ventilation, where the air is separated via the ventilation system, removing the risk of odours and humidly being transferred.

The VEX340H size enables it to be transported through a 90 x 200 cm door opening. 

 
The design is very flexible and the unit can be ordered as a LEFT or RIGHT model.

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

Innovative ice detection and control - VEX340H

High-efficiency counter flow heat exchangers can suffer icing, especially if the extracted room air is humid. When the energy from this extracted air is used (when the air cools), the moisture condenses to water vapour, which collects in the heat exchanger.

The high efficiency means that some areas inside the heat exchanger become very cold and in these areas condensed water will freeze and form ice. This can block the air flow.

To ensure EXHAUSTO counter flow heat exchangers can operate in areas that have temperatures below -3 °C EXHAUSTO has developed a return air system. When ice begins to form inside the counter flow heat exchanger, the VEX340H control system circulates up to 30 % of the warmed air back into the cold supply air. This raises the temperature of the outdoor air and the problem of icing is reduced.

Design

VEX340H

The compact unit is designed in accordance with German hygiene standard VDI6022, which ensures units are accessible for service and the formation of mould or other bacteria that could negatively impact air quality is prevented. Read more about this standard in the VDI6022 section.
 
 

Cabinets


 
 
Kabinet_VEX200 

Cabinets are made from Aluzinc® AZ185 class C4 in accordance with EN/ISO12944-2 and insulated with 50 mm mineral wool. This results in low noise emissions to the surrounding environment/installation room.

The panel design minimises the formation of thermal bridges in the unit.

  

Motor sections

 
 

The motor sections are mounted in vibration dampers, which reduces noise in the ducts and eliminates the need to fit flexible connections between the unit and the duct system.

The motor sections can be extracted for easier servicing.

The motors are of type EC and are extremely efficient. They comply with the requirements of the Ecodesign Directive.

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

VEX340H 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 VEX340H 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 VEX340H
Counterflow heat exchanger Height x length x depth [mm] 755 x 540 x 500
Weight [kg]
 22
Biggest cabinet section Height x width x depth [mm] 1765 x 890 x 290
