All-purpose ventilation units

with counterflow
heat exchangers
DUPLEX 5008000 Multi is a new generation
of all-purpose ventilation units with counterflow heat recovery
exchangers.
The indoor version of compact DUPLEX 5008000 Multi
units are used for comfort ventilation, hot-air heating and
cooling in small facilities, shop floors, stores, schools,
restaurants, shops, sports and industrial halls and swimming
pools. The units are intended for indoor operation in covered
and dry areas with temperatures between 5 and 40 C and
relative humidity up to 90 %. They are suitable wherever
efficient ventilation and possibly hot-air circulation ventilation
and cooling must be provided at minimum running cost, i.e.
the highest efficiency of heat recovery, low power input of
fans and as little noise as possible.
DUPLEX Multi units are compact appliances containing
inasingle cabinet two independently controlled EC fans with
backward curved blades a heat recovery exchanger with
large heat-transfer surface and high efficiency, slide-out
supply and exhaust air class G4, M5 or F7 filters, drain pans
and possibly also an internal bypass with a servo drive and
acirculation damper with a servo drive.
The cabinet has a sandwich structure and consists
ofaluminium sheet and 30 mm of PIR fill with an outstanding
heat transfer coefficient ( = 0,024 W/mK).
DUPLEX Multi ventilation units meet the requirements
of the most stringent European standards:
= Casing properties according to EN 1886
= EC motors according to ErP 2015
3
= SFP < 0,45 W/(m /h) according to PassivHaus*
= Hygienic requests according to VDI6022

INSTALLATION AND VERSIONS

INSTALLATION VERSIONS AND CONNECTING PORTS

DUPLEX 500 to 8000 Multi units are available in a range

ofversions to facilitate their installation in the machine room. This
significantly increases options to install DUPLEX Multi units in
cramped spaces.
For structural reasons and to ensure condensate drain it is not
possible to have all units available in all mounting positions. Detailed
drawings are shown in the summary table Mounting positions.

DUPLEX Multi units are characterised by a wide range

of accessories the ports may be optionally fitted with flexible
flanges and inlet ports may have shut-off dampers if required.

HANDLING SPACE
HANDLING SPACE

DUPLEX units must be installed with the prescribed handling

space around the unit in mind.
Below the unit at least 150 mm must be left to install the DN 32
condensate drain line. This line must run through a U-bend at least
150 mm high into a sewer. This space is easily provided when the
steel supporting feet supplied as standard are used. Handling
space in front of the unit must be maintained for opening the front
door, replacing filters and providing servicing and installation
access to each unit part.

Each drawing shows the minimum handling space.

In addition, each unit must have the minimum handling space
of600 mm from the side of the control system electric
switchboard according to CSN.
Units with a heating or cooling control manifold must have free
space from the side of the manifold, too.

application
control system is integrated with the unit, most
components arealready wired and checked in factory,
thus reducing the risk of incorect wiring
no control system project documentation is necessary
forstandard cases, standardized solutions can be used
simple wiring, system simplicity, error indication

SUMMARY OF DUPLEX MULTI CONTROL SYSTEMS

Type

Use

basic

all electrical components are wired to a junction box

terminal strip inside or outside the unit
standard components are fans, damper actuators,
capillary freeze protection thermostat of hot water
heating coil
more components is included upon customer's
request (exact actuator type, sensors, thermostats,
pressure switches etc.)
suitable for applications with separate delivery of
control system; e.g. large buildings with central control
system etc.

RD4 controls

Standard functions of the RD4 controls

EC fan speed control (based on selected mode)
automatic by-pass damper position (heat and cool
recovery)
evaluates and prevents emergency limits based on
measured temperature
ventilation and temperature weekly program setting
A web server and an Ethernet interface built in as
standard connection for remote internet
communication
inputs for switching using 230 V
(4 inputs 3delayed, 1instantenious) switch e.g.
from bathrooms etc.
optional connection of CO2 or RH sensor
max. 2 sensors with a switch or 010 V output
outputs for electric preheater and heater control
(pulse 10 V) or hot-water control (010 V)
Additional RD4-IO modules
optional manometer connection to ensure constant
airflow control (see Constant airflow and pressure
control on previous page)
constant pressure control
cooling control outputs (DX- or chilled-water cooling)

DC controls

A programmable module software designed

especially for DUPLEX units
Supply and exhaust fan speed control
Controlling supply or room temperatures
Optional control of a water and electric heating coil
Optional water and direct cooling
Heat pump performance control
Automatic control of by-pass and circulation dampers
Optional fully automatic operation of the unit via a daily
or weekly programme
Possibility to connect air quality, CO2 concentration
and relative humidity sensors etc.
Connectable to central control systems
