The Heat Recovery Unit : DXA Unit
The DXA has been specifically designed for
wall or cupboards installation. Thanks to
its wellfitted dimensions, the DXA can be
installed in technical rooms, wallmounted.
A creamy white metal sheet covers the front
face of the the DXA which allows it to be
unnoticed as a technical equipment. The DXA
unit is compatible with two demand control
strategies used in the DX System “Premium”
and “Excellence”.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The DX System is a range of smart heat recovery ventilation systems that continually supply pollen-free and dust-free preheated fresh air to living areas,
ensuring a comfortable feel-good climate.
The DXA is a heat recovery unit with demand-controlled airflows for vertical installation (on the wall) in the apartment or in the house, from 2to 5 main
rooms, and from 1 to 5 technical rooms (kitchen, bathroom, others wet rooms). The dwelling has to be limited to 2 floors (1 ground floor and 1 floor
maximum), and has a maximum surface of 210m². This HRVsystem can also be used in oces, hostels, etc., if the required airflow is in accordance
with the one oered by the system.
General working of the DX System, Excellence Version
The DX System is comprised of a heat recovery unit (DXA Unit 1 )
connected to exhaust and supply ductworks. The counter-flow heat
exchanger, integrated into the main unit, ensures the recovery and transfer
of most of the energy from the exhaust air to the supply air, thus limiting
the energy required to heat the fresh air.
Airflows are automatically controlled according to the needs of each
dwelling’s room (room-by-room DCV): Outdoor filtered air is supplied 3
in the bedrooms and in the living room. Stale air is extracted 6from the
kitchen, bathroom and WC. On the supply side, the dierent sensors 5
adjust the airflow room-by-room based on the CO2level or based on the
presence detection. On the exhaust side, the BXC units adjust automatically
the airflow, according to parameters read by various sensors: humidity
(used in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in WC), presence (can be used
in WC). Versions with switch, presence, remote, CO2or VOC sensors can
also be used for exhaust units.
At all times, total supply airflows and total exhaust airflows are measured
by the heat recovery unit. These airflows are balanced thanks to an
exhaust controlled compensation valve 8. This valve can be located
in the bathroom or in the kitchen. An additional compensation valve,
integrated in the DX Hub 2, adjusts supply compensation airflow,
supplying preheated 9fresh air in the living room, in the kitchen or in
a corridor. Compensation valves are linked to dedicated compensation
exhaust unit 7or dedicated compensation supply unit 4The use of an
exhaust compensation valve is also a solution to increase the airflows.
This scenario is used in order to get a very ecient over-ventilation mode,
also called free-cooling mode.
To reach the required supply airflows in each main room (bedrooms or
living room), dedicated dampers located in the DX Hub 2modulate
room by room supply airflows according to the information sent by each
electronic sensors placed in the main rooms. For example, when the main
rooms are occupied, the presence or CO2sensors that are located in these
rooms send the information to the system to adapt the airflow according
to the demand. To reach the required exhaust airflows in each technical
room (kitchen, bathroom, WC, ...), dampers located in the exhaust units
modulate room by room extract airflows according to the passive or active
sensor placed within each exhaust unit.
Supply airflows and exhaust airflows are measured by the use of accurate
pressure sensors placed in the heat recovery unit. This allows to calculate
with a high accuracy supply and exhaust airflows, without influence of
clogging filters or ductwork pressure drop. It ensures the highest eciency
for the system. So that, energy savings are at their maximum.
CO2 detection
Based on the level of CO2in the room, a
consequence of people occupancy, CO2 sensors
are a really good indicators to modulate the
supply airflows and allow reliable measurement
of the concentrations of CO2in a zone. The
analysis principle consists in measuring the
absorption of infrared light in order to determine
the concentration in a room. This method gives
a very accurate response and is not aected by
any other pollution (humidity, dust, etc.).
Presence detection
The presence sensors located in the main
rooms (at least 1 sensor in the main rooms)
send the information to the system (presence
detected or not) with a timer that depends on
the period through luminosity measurement
(day or night). This timer keeps the detection
at the maximum level during 20 or 45minutes
after the last detection, to optimize the quality
of detection. Timer day = 20 min ; Timer
night= 45min. When there is detection, the
local supply airflow is increased to ensure the
best air quality. If there is no detection, the local
supply airflow is reduced to optimize energy
savings.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1. LOCATION OF THE INSTALLATION
The unit must be installed into the heated space, in parts of the dwelling relatively
insensitive to noise, not in the unheated space (attic, etc.). Upper and lower
temperature limits for the main unit are 5°C and 50°C
Ductwork should be installed in the heated space. If not, they must be insulated
with 50mm minimum of glass wool (or equivalent). The non compliance with these
conditions leads to the degradation of the heat recovery performance.

· If rigid ducts are used, the connection between the DXA Unit and the duct must be made using
a flexible sleeve (Ø160 mm), in order to avoid transmitting vibrations from the fan to the duct.
-Make sure that the flexible sleeve is not twisted or wrinkled and that it is correctly aligned
but not completely taut between the unit and the ductwork. To achieve this, it is essential
to have a constant section on either side of the sleeve.
-To perform its function of decoupling between the components, the sleeve can be attached
by means of flat metallic clamping rings. It will then be necessary to make sure of the
airtightness of the assembly.
· If flexible ducts are used, the connection can be carried on directly to the unit, making
sure that the connection is secure and tight with flat clamping rings and adhesive.
In order to fully guarantee the acoustic quality of the installation, it is necessary to
attenuate airborne noise from the main unit by:
·20 dB at 500 Hz at supply
·15 dB at 500 Hz at exhaust
This can be done using a silencer or an equivalent length of acoustic duct between the
DXA Unit and the distribution box.
3.2.6. EVACUATION OF CONDENSATES
To evacuate condensates, it is recommended to use a lift pump. It is also possible to use a
siphon to evacuate them by gravity, but a minimum slope of about 3° is recommended for
the good evacuation of condensates.
To ensure watertight connections between the condensate evacuation pipe and the lift
pump or the siphon, the DXA Unit is delivered with these components already built-in.
The DXA1240 is equipped with a lift pump, while the DXA1247 is equipped with a siphon.
Only the evacuation pipe to the wastewater has to be realized. This evacuation must be
insulated if installed outside the heated volume (risk of freezing).
Using the lift pump (DXA1240)
· A vertical height of 8 meters must not exceed between the lift pump and the evacuation duct.
Note: The lift pump proposed by Aereco was tested and validated specially for DX System. Using
another lift pump can lead to serious problems of functioning and degrade the security of the
system. All the connections must be watertight.
Using the siphon (DXA1247)
The condensate ducts must not be higher than the DXA Unit evacuation outlet
Before fixing the DXA Unit on the wall, the siphon has to be filled with 0.5 L of water. A funnel can
be used to realise the operation.

3.3. EXHAUST COMPENSATION VALVE (MCP 125)
The valve is located in the final duct that serves the exhaust compensation unit (in the kitchen). It is
therefore in Ø125 mm. This product is specific to DX system.
With its diameter, the compensation exhaust valve can exhaust airflow more than 230 m3/h (at 60
Pa).
The valve can be positioned in any direction, the maximum length being 232mm. However,
attention must be paid to the direction of the airflow in the valve: an arrow marked on the
valve indicates the correct position.
The pressure within the exhaust ductwork is measure in the compensation valve, just after the
damper. This allows to measure the pressure at the same level than the extract units. This measure
takes into account the pressure drops through filters and exhaust ductwork. It ensures at the extract
units the require pressure needed for a perfect running with a very high accuracy.

Check the good quality of the pressure pipe, postionned on the exhaust compensation
valve, before carrying the installation. The pressure pipe must not be crushed.
The valve must be placed in the duct, at a minimum distance equivalent to 3 diameters (38cm for a
125 mm duct) from any fittings, and from the compensation unit.
In addition, there must be an inspection hatch to access the valve for maintenance.

3.4. DEFROSTING
The defrosting is located in the duct that serves the fresh air inlet, upstream from the DXA Unit. It is
therefore in Ø160 mm and insulated. A length of 1 m must be respected between the DXA Unit
and the defrosting. The fresh air supply air duct must be manufactured from non-flammable
materials (A1 Class according to EN 13501-1).
The air must travel in the direction shown by the arrows marked on the defrosting device.

Positioning of the defrosting compared to the
DXA Unit
L > 1m
The defrosting must be located at a distance of at least twice the connection diameter from a duct
bend or external grille, and at 1m from the DXA Unit. We recommend tilting the duct slightly towards
the exterior in order to keep rain water from getting into the defrosting.
The installation must allow access to the defrosting for a manual reset, or for maintenance
(access hatch).
Manual reset of the defrosting:
1. Unscrew the black cap 2. Push the red button and screw back the
black cap on
The defrosting must not be installed with the
electrical device at the bottom.
Note:
· The DXA Unit has been specially designed to work with the defrosting provided by Aereco (defrost
strategy specific to DX System, and adapted diameter). Besides, it has been CEM certified with the
DXA Unit.
· Using another defrosting can lead to serious problems of functioning and degrade the security of
the system.
Anti-frost without pre-heating resistance
· When using the DXA Unit without the additional resistance pre-heating, the anti-frost strategy is
based on the supply airflow regulation. The supply air fan is switched o and the extract air fan
remains active, in order to warm up the heat exchanger.
Be careful, very often, this type of strategy does not comply with an open fireplace. Make
sure that you comply with the standard in force in the country of installation.
When the optional defrosting device is used, this anti-frost strategy is not active anymore.

3.5. SENSORS
The DXA Unit Excellence version is compatible with two types of sensors for the management of
supply airflow: presence detection or CO2.
We recommend to use one sensor per main room (living room and bedroom).
- Presence sensors and CO2sensors can be mixed together.
- A maximum of 5 sensors can be connected to the system.
- The connection to the system is made through RJ12 wires. Only the specific ones supplied by
Aereco can be used.
3.5.1. PRESENCE SENSORS (DX S-PRE)
The DX S-PRE presence detector uses infrared radiation to measure movements made in a room.
The detector includes a LED indicator that displays the detections in order to inform the users.
When luminosity in the room is very low, the LED is automatically switched o.
The S-PRE sensor must be installed on the ceiling at a place it can easily detect the presence. The
operating scenarios are the following ones :
· if detection during the night, over ventilation for 45 minutes after the last detection.
· if detection during the day, over ventilation for 20 minutes after the last detection.
· if no detection, supply airflow is reduced to a minimum to save energy.
The sensor can be fixed in a hole of diameter 62 to 70 millimeters. They are equipped with claws
for installation in false ceiling. Location of sensors :
· ceiling positioning
· in a detection zone = zone located at least at 1 meter from walls (considered as zone "where
there are few movements")
· height installation ceiling position: up to 3.5 meters.

3.5.3. SETTING OF THE SENSORS DX S-PRE AND DX S-CO2
5 indexation positions are allowed for every sensor (presence or CO2): position 1 to position 5
included.
Important: Before to start the heat recovery unit, every sensor must have a specific
identification number (1 to 5) so that the system can identify them. This identification
number has to be dierent from a sensor to another one.
Example:
· Presence sensor bedroom A = 1 / because DX Hub outlet n°1 is connected to bedroom A.
· Presence sensor bedroom B = 2 / because DX Hub outlet n°2 is connected to bedroom B.
· Presence sensor bedroom C = 3 / because DX Hub outlet n°3 is connected to bedroom C.
· CO2sensor in living room = 4 / because DX Hub outlet n°4 is connected to living room.
Note 1: The sensors are delivered in position 0. They must be manipulated with extreme care.
Note 2: For the DX Hub 5, outlet 5 is driven by the sensor n°5.
For the DX Hub 6, outlets 5 and 6 are driven by the sensor n°5.

The interface can be either installed on a wall or directly on the DXA Unit itself.
If installed on a wall, the interface must be installed in an unobstructed place and located at eye
level of the user. This height can be dierent, according to the occupant of the dwelling, and if
necessary take into account access to disabled person. In all cases, it is essential to comply with the
standard in force in the country of installation.
If the interface is fixed on a wall, the EPP cap, specific to the DXA Unit and delivred with the
interface, must be placed in the space reserved for it.

3.7. SPECIAL CARE FOR THE DUCTWORK
Any duct that is outdoors or in an unheated volume must be insulated with 50 mm of
glass wool or equivalent. In countries where the temperature can go under -10°C, the
recommendation of insulation is at least 100 mm of glass wool.
Mounting of ducts:
· The ductwork must be airtight (see recommendations for an airtight ductwork in page 28).
· Take care not to use a material that is too fragile or too flexible.
· The inner surfaces of all ducts must be as smooth as possible.
· Avoid having too many bends (make them gradual, with a large curvature).
· It is recommended to use flexible (about 50cm) to connect the compensation valve to the supply
units, to limitate risks of noise in the main rooms, in that case:
-Avoid slopes (flexible ducts must be securely attached).
-Tauten the straight parts so that the duct is smooth and straight (when using flexible or
semi flexible ducts).
-If the flexible duct is longer than necessary, it must be cut rather than pushing the surplus
into the false ceiling.
-Do not crush the duct or squeeze it down to force it through a narrow passage.
· The interior of the ductwork must be protected during the entire duration of the work (from dust,
pollutants, etc.), using caps, plastic bags, or tape.
The installation of supply and exhaust units, and fresh air inlet and exhaust air outlet
must be carried out in order to obtain a system that performs well in terms of both
aeraulics and thermal and acoustic comfort (see recommendations for the installation
of the units in page 28).
3.8. FIRE PROTECTION
The installation must comply with the fire protection standards in force in the country concerned.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Disconnect the electrical supply before any operations and ensure that the DXAUnit
cannot be started accidentally.
Only cables provided by Aereco must be used to carry on the DXA Unit installation. If using
dierent cables, Aereco won’t be able to guarantee the good functioning of the appliance.
The installation must be carried out by a professional in compliance with applicable
regulations in force in the country of installation. Each product or component used in the
installation must also comply with standards in force in the country.

Note: RJ12 and RJ45 cables provide both supply and connections. The DXHub allows also 5 RJ12
connections where sensors (or user’s interface) can be connected instead of connecting sensors to
the DXA Unit itself. However, the maximal RJ12 cable length between the DXHub and the sensors
must not exceed the length calculated thanks to the equation below :

Do not connect RJ45 cables to an Ethernet or a phone network. Only external devices
provided by Aereco must be connected to RJ plugging.
The DXA Unit is not designed to be connected to smart home system; settings and data
display are realised only through the Aereco touch screen interface.
