HOME VENTILATION

Swegon is one of the leading manufacturers of equipment for air treatment in Europe. Howev-er our ambitions do not stop there. Our vision is to create the world’s best indoor climate for people and the environment.

There are four important motives for our vision:

► Harmful emissionsMany building materials give off so-called emis-sions that convey odours and can also cause allergic reactions.

Since most people spend approx. 85% of their time indoors, this requires the right ventilation.

► Damaging moistureMany people shower every day and many wash and dry their laundry indoors. The increase in emissions when there is considerable moisture in the air and the moisture itself is the major cause of rot and mould. The use of the right type of ventilation reduces the risk of these problems.

► Quiet and draught-free operationGetting fresh air into the home in an economi-cal way should not involve other inconvenienc-es. It is therefore important that the ventilation system operates with low sound levels and that air is supplied without draught.

► More stringent energy requirementsBecause of our concern for the environment, ever more stringent requirements are made on the power consumption of buildings. This makes it also necessary for the ventilation system to have energy-efficient fans, the best possible means of heat recovery and economi-cal control functions.

HOME VENTILATION

Home ventilation for the greatest comfort and optimal economySwegon offers a complete program for home ventilation. In that all the components are supplied by one subcontractor, you are assured that all the units will operate together in harmony in one system and that correctly sized products can be selected. For example, several of the ventilation units can be controlled from the control panel of cooker hoods.

The products for home ventilation are manufactured mainly by Swegon in Finland. For many years, the company has been a market leader in home ventilation in Finland. As a means of meeting the ever more strict requirements on energy efficiency, we have implemented extensive product develop-ment over a short period of time. All the ventilation units have energy-saving EC motors, temperature-efficient heat exchangers and economical control functions.

We are always in the forefront of technological development and our new way of thinking has set a standard for how future generations will view indoor climate and air treatment. Swegon is quality-assurance and environmental-management certificated to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Our GOLD air han-dling unit, COMPACT air handling unit and our chilled beams and climate beams are also Eurovent certificated – proof of our quality-assured production.

The Nordic climate requires ventilation of international calibreThe Nordic manufacturing industry is highly rated. When it comes to producing ventilation products, cold winters and the considerable time spent indoors also forces us to be of international calibre. Swegon’s development of ventilation products is focused on creating energy-efficient systems that also offer the client added value – a better indoor climate and better operating economy.

All research and development takes place in our high-tech laboratories at our production facilities. Advance aids are uti-lized for guaranteeing the best possible result. One example is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD calculations), which are used for simulating air currents – exactly the same pro-gram that is used for achieving an aerodynamic design in the field of Formula 1 car racing.

Our own calculation programs offer data on energy con-sumption and heat recovery in black and white, specifically for the item desired.


HOME VENTILATION

Heat recovery that makes you the winner

The counter-flow plate heat exchanger consists of thin aluminium plates arranged cross-wise to one another that form parallel air passages. The supply air and extract air passages are completely separated from one another so that possible odours or particles cannot be recovered in the supply air.

The warmer extract air heats the plates and transfers heat to the colder supply air. The con-tact surface area is large in that the air streams flow parallel and in cross-flow to one another.

The temperature efficiency is as high as 80 % if the supply and extract air flows are the same.

The RECOnomic rotary heat exchanger consists of a rotating wheel made of aluminium with a multitude of small passages. The warmer extract air heats the passages that transfer the heat to the colder supply air as the wheel turns.

In that the same surfaces come in contact with both the extract air and the supply air, there is slight risk of odour transfer, however in a home, this is normally no problem.

Frost normally never forms in a rotary heat exchanger which means that it maintains its high temperature efficiency regardless of the outdoor temperature.

The temperature efficiency is as high as 83% if the supply and extract air flows are the same.

The ventilation units are equipped with so-called EC motors which are state-of-the-art. EC = Electronically commutated

The EC motors are energised with alternating current and the integrated electronic compo-nents commutate, reverse, to direct current, which makes the motors rotate.

The advantage of EC motors is that almost all power supplied is used for rotation and the efficiency is high also at low speeds. Other types of motors or controls generally give rise to losses, which are especially noticeable when the motors are operating at low speeds.

Unique accessories for best economyEcono – water-based reheatingAn economic alternative if the home has a waterborne heating system and you select a unit equipped with a counter-flow plate heat exchanger. The waterborne air heater in the unit can be switched on as an extra radiator or an extra circuit for floor-heating, which is an economi-cal heating means.

Demand-controlled ventilation The ventilation unit should have power-efficient fans and good heat recovery for meeting energy requirements – and for excellent operating economy!

But in addition to the above it is also important to be able to control temperatures and operating times as required. A reduction in airflow when no one is spending time in the home saves both power to run the fans and heating costs.

All the ventilation units have Premium control equipment into which a large number of control functions are inte-grated. All the settings can be entered via a control panel which can be placed at an optional location in the home. Typical economical functions are built-in timer for scheduling the running times and fan speeds. Typical comfort functions are summer night cooling, fireplace switch and alarms.

All of the ventilation units can also be equipped with com-ponents for demand-controlled ventilation, For example humidity sensor, extra fireplace switch, filter guard, etc.

Control Equipment


• Versatile control panel with the most modern state-of-the-art technology.

• Control of the fan speeds.

• Integrated timer.

• Adjustment of temperatures

• Provision for boosting the airflow and the connection of external sensors that detect humidity, carbon dioxide content and presence.

• Provision for monitoring (DDC) from a central system.

Other control equipment

• Carbon dioxide/temperature sensor. Both the carbon dioxide and the temperature function or only one of the functions can be used. Starts boosting the airflows of the ventilation unit when the sensor detects increased carbon dioxide content/temperature.

• Occupancy detector. Reacts to movement and then starts or increases the fan speed.

• Boost timer. Adjustable for various times. Can be used for example in conjunction with showering, taking a sauna or when a drying cabinet/laundry dryer is in use. One press of the button starts the airflow boost func-tion in the ventilation unit which will operate during the period desired.

• Extra fireplace switch. This function is integrated into the Premium control panel, however an extra switch can also be installed near the fireplace. Decreases the extract air fan speed and increases the supply air fan speed of the ventilation unit during the period desired. This causes positive pressure in the building and "forces" the fireplace flue to the chimney so that smoke will not come out into the room.

• Humidity sensor. Detects when the humidity increases and starts boosting the air flow from the ventilation unit. Available in models for location in a room or a duct and for on/off or stepless control.

The ventilation unit can either be controlled from the Premium cooker hood or from a separate Premium control panel, or a combination of both.

The simplest way to control the ventilation unit is from the cooker hood, but an Premium control panel is required for changing any of the factory settings. The operating times can be programmed from this control panel and all the set-tings can be read and changed in a display.

The roof fans can be controlled via thyristor, transformer or the cooker hood.

HOME VENTILATION

Detached and terraced houses, cottages Individual basic solutions

The ventilation units are available in several models and sizes that can be selected on the basis of needs and requirements relevant to the individual application. Location in a laun-dry room or similar space is recommended. The ventilation units are compact and the smaller units can be mounted on a wall or can be suspended from the ceiling above a washing machine, for instance. The R120 can also be installed in a cold space.

The ventilation units in the smaller sizes also have an extra duct connection for con-nection to a cooker hood. This makes the installation economical because there is then no need for any extra fan and roof duct for the cooker hood. If an R85 is installed, the cooker hood can furthermore be connected directly below the ventilation unit, a renova-tion alternative for applications which involve replacing fans installed behind spice racks.

The extract air from the cooker hood does not pass the heat exchanger but instead is extracted directly out via the extract air fan.

In multi-family buildings, the main ducts can also be com-pletely or partially utilized. Depending on the solution under consideration, special measures may be needed to remedy air transfer and sound conducted through building elements as well as for fire protection.



HOME VENTILATION

Multi-family residential buildings Centralized basic solutions

G – Swegon ApartmentSwegon Apartment is a solution in which the centrally located ventilation unit supplies air to and extracts air from a required number of flats via main ducts located in a shaft.

An appropriate ventilation unit is selected from Swegon’s GOLD series.

The ventilation unit is pressure controlled and the airflow is regulated in each flat via a control damper. These control dampers are controlled via a control panel and a timer to economic low airflow when no one is at home. A special function involves controlling the supply air mainly to the living room during the day and to the bedroom at night. On the whole, this enables the use of a smaller airflow, yet the air quality is good where the occupants are spending time.

Cooker hoods have an extract air duct of their own with a pressure-controlled power roof ventilator that serves a required number of flats.

In centralized solutions in multi-family residential buildings, a large, central ventilation unit operates to convey supply air to and extract air from the flats.

The use of a central ventilation unit makes it easier to operate and main-tain the system.

If a rotary heat exchanger is used, the cooker hood is required to have an exhaust air duct of its own fitted with a power roof ventilator.

Depending on the system solution under consideration and the local regulations, special measures may be needed to remedy air transfer and sound conducted through building ele-ments as well as for fire protection.
