6/32

1.3.4 Requirements for duct system
Silencers The duct system must be fitted with silencers specified by the Project Manager, which meet the re-
quirements of the operating area.
Bends A duct bend may be fitted immediately after the unit, because the airflow in the spigot has a uniformly
moderate speed profile, which results in negligible system pressure loss.
Insulation The duct system must be insulated against:
● condensation
● sound leakage
● heating/cooling losses
Condensation Condensation in the ducts may occur when the exhaust/outdoor air has high humidity. EXHAUSTO
recommends a condensation outlet is also fitted at the lowest point in the ducts.
Outdoor air intake The outdoor air intake must be dimensioned with sufficiently low airflow to prevent rain and snow being
drawn into the duct system.
No duct connection If one or more of the spigots is not connected to a duct: Fit a protective net to the
spigots with a maximum mesh width of 20 mm.

3. Mechanical assembly
3.1 Installation
Description It is important that the VEX is installed on a level surface, as this affects the collection and draining of
the condensate.
3.1.1 Installation directly on floor
The requirements for the floor surface must be met, see the section entitled "Requirements for underlying
surface".
NB After installation, check the VEX unit is completely level.
3.1.2 Installation on mounting base
The EXHAUSTO mounting base enables the VEX unit to be installed correctly. The base is equipped with
adjustable levelling screws, so that the air handling unit can be fitted horizontally on a surface that is not
level ( +/- 20 mm per metre). See the separate instructions for installing the mounting base.
3.2 Condensation outlet
Connection of the condensation outlet must be made by an authorised plumber.
Drain the condensation outlet into a floor gully or similar. The condensation out-
let must be fitted with a water trap. See below.
Risk of frost Where there is a risk of frost: It is recommended to protect the condensation out-
let against frost damage. Fit a SIPHONE electrical heat tracing device on the out-
let before the pipes are insulated. For fitting, see the device’s fitting instructions.
3.2.1 Establishment of condensation outlet
Location The following two drawings show examples of how the drain from the condensation outlet can be es-
tablished and the correct dimensions for the water trap:

3.3.2 Bleeding of coils
Bleeding It is the responsibility of the contractor/customer to ensure that the bleeding option is correctly installed
and that the building owner is informed of the risk of insufficient bleeding, regardless of whether the
coil(s) in question are built into a ventilation system or mounted separately in the duct system.
The following must be observed when bleeding liquid-coupled coils/heating and cooling batteries:
● The heating/cooling system must be arranged in accordance with DS469 so that they can be bled.
● Ventilation systems installed above suspended ceilings or outside on roofs are often the top point
of the pipe system and therefore air is often collected in the system here.
● Bleeding points must be easily accessible.
● Bleeding points must be selected so that all air in the system can be bled.
● Air pots and automatic air vents should be considered so that air is collected before it enters the
coils, despite the fact that many coils are equipped with a bleeding option.
● A lack of bleeding can lead to a lack of water flow and, ultimately, frost damage to the coils and
subsequent water damage to the building.
Following connection of water supply to the unit:
● Bleed the system thoroughly using the upper bleed screw on the water coil.

Insufficient bleed-
ing
Insufficient bleeding can result in still water forming in the system, which may re-
sult in frost-induced leaks during the winter.
Fitting motor valve The valve must not be fitted with the motor facing down
Insulate the supply
pipe and heating
coil
The pipes and heating coil must be insulated according to applicable regulations
3.3.4 MVM valve
Definition MVM is used as a general term for an engine valve.
Screening Screen the valve motor from direct sunlight. Due to heat emissions, the valve motor must not be en-
capsulated (max. ambient temperature: 50°C).
Insulating the valve To ensure normal operation at ambient temperatures below 0°C, it is very important that the valve sec-
tion is insulated according to current standards/procedures.
MVM-OD, valve for
outdoor fitting
If MVM-OD (MVM intended for outdoor fitting) is used, the screening and insulation are part of the de-
livery. MVM-OD is only possible for valve sizes below 6.3 Kvs.
Regulating proper-
ties
Optimal regulation is achieved when the differential pressure is between 5–20 kPa. See section "Tech-
nical specifications" to calculate Kvs.
Heat supply The heat supply must be constant.
