VEX40T, decentralised system for residential buildings

 

VEX40T is available in two versions, Classic and Premium.

Description of VEX40T

VEX40T, suitable for apartments

VEX40T is a compact ventilation unit with built-in bypass. VEX40T is designed for use in a dwelling, for example a flat in an apartment building. 

The unit is wall-mounted and has all four spigots at the top – suitable for apartments.

VEX40T can be fitted with an optional enthalphi heat exchanger for humidity recovery.

VEX40T comes with a set of basic filters, but the filter solution can be individually adapted to the outdoor air quality and supply air requirements (e.g. in the event of asthma, allergies or similar among residents).

Operation of VEX40T:

3 options:

  1. Separate control panel
  2. Operation via the cooker hood – ESL142WEM/SEM
  3. Via BMS with modbus RTU communication

1. Control panel

The control panel is available both with and without built-in CO2 sensor, which is used for automatic override when needed.

2. ESL142WEM/SEM

ESL142, Fabrian cooker hood, stainless and white

If you choose to combine the VEX40T with ESL142WEM/SEM with modBUS, you can omit the control panel and instead operate the VEX40T via the cooker hood. Read more about ESL142WEM/SEM under Fabriano ESL142.

3. Modbus RTU for BMS

c

VEX40T can be connected to an overall BMS system via modbus RTU communication, where each system can be addressed individually.

This allows you to monitor centrally, for example, the status of each system, temperatures, current operating mode, filter alarm, etc.

VEX40T is available in two versions, Classic and Premium

VEX40T is available in two different versions, Classic and Premium. They are physically slightly different and are outfitted slightly differently with regard to heat exchangers (both in plastic), filters and automatics. 

When you choose a VEX40T PREMIUM, you also get:

  • a heat exchanger with higher temperature efficiency (see diagram)
  • higher-grade filters included
  • Full metal enclosure means less noise in the surroundings it's placed in
  • indication lamp (LED) on the front of the unit showing operating status (OK/error/alarm) 
  • WAP (Wireless Access Point) for communication via the EXHAUSTO ConnectTM app 
 

Left/Right

Easy conversion from Left to Right

VEX40T is supplied in configuration A (=Left), but can easily and simply (max. 5 min) be converted to configuration B (Right) on the construction site. See more details in the Construction section.

Dimensions 

VEX40T can be built into a 600 x 600-mm kitchen cabinet

The unit measures only 560 mm in width/depth and can thus be installed inside a 600 x 600-mm kitchen cabinet. The unit is wall-mounted, supplied with fittings and has all four spigots at the top – suitable for apartments.

VEX40T is supplied with:

  • a humidity sensor for automatic demand control
  • a condensate drain that is installed when configuration A or B (Left or Right) is selected.

Low energy consumption

Optimised design in terms of temperature efficiency, airflow and energy consumption and has a counterflow heat exchanger and the latest EC motor technology.

VEX40T probably has the market’s lowest energy consumption with a SEL value of 1,000 J/m3 with the following output: 180 m3/h and 145 Pa.

Custom filter solution

VEX40T probably has the best filter combinations on the market, up to ePM1 80% (F9) and the option of carbon filter, see separate section on filter solutions.

E: Air filters

F: High output heat exchanger

G: Bypass 100% automatic

Cabinet

The outer casing is made of easy-to-clean galvanised sheet metal. VEX40T Classic only has a metal cabinet on the front and top.

The internal parts are mainly made of EPP (expanded polypropylene) insulation of approx. 30 mm to ensure sound attenuation and thermal insulation.

The front consists of a panel that can be opened for service and filter change without the use of tools.

For access to fans and heat exchanger, the metal front of the cabinet must be dismantled using tool.

Motors and fans

VEX40T has a very low energy consumption, as it is equipped with modern EC motors and specially developed fans with high efficiency and thus low SFP figures.

The motors are controlled steplessly with a 0–10 V signal directly from the built-in control system.

 

From Left to Right in a flash

VEX40T is designed to be used as both Left and Right, as it can be adjusted from Left to Right in less than 5 minutes.

It’s as simple as that:

  1. Change the filters 

  2. Remove A. indication on plastic top part (see picture )

  3. Change setting in the control system

  4. Installing the condensation outlet

  5. Move the humidity sensor from the previous extract air duct to the new extract air duct
