Introduction

Please control that the following documents have been delivered together with the unit:
- Directions for assembly & use (this document)
- CTS 700 user guide
- Electrical chart
Should you have any questions on how to operate the system, contact your nearest Nilan dealer,
who you can find at www.nilan.dk/dealers
The purpose of this instruction manual is to offer the installation contractor and the user instruc-
tions on correct installation and maintenance of the Comfort system.
Comfort is a ventilation unit with heat recovery. The unit can yield up to 400m3/h at 100Pa external
back pressures. The energy in the exhaust air is being transferred to the inlet air.
The system is prepared for retrofitting of a post-heating element (electricity or water) for supply
heating of the inlet air. The post-heating element is controlled via CTS 700.
The unit is delivered with a G4 filter. In addition to this the unit can be equipped with different ac-
cessories e.g. hygrostat and filter box with pollen filter.
The plant has to be started immediately after installation and connection to the canal system.
When a ventilation plant is not running, the moist air from the rooms will be able to penetrate into
the channels and systems and allocate condensation. Condensation can run out of the valves and
damage furniture and floors. Condensed water in the plant may damage the electronics and the
fans.
Operating the unit is done with the CTS 700 control. The control has many functions such as menu
based attendance, week programme, time controlled filter guard and adjustment of the velocity of
the ventilator. (Directions for the CTS 700 control is described in another document delivered with
the unit.)
Comfort is delivered tested and ready for use. Installation and start-up must be carried out by an
authorized electrician.

Power supply

Power supply including safety switch must be installed by an authorized electrician.
The Comfort-unit must be connected according to the attached electrical chart.
The unit is delivered with 3 m test cable for the CTS 700 panel. The panel should be connected to
the CTS 700 control in the unit with cable type cat 5e twisted in pairs. (Maximum length 20m).
The CTS 700 panel must be placed dry and frost-proof. The panels’ integrated feeler prevents fur-
ther cooling of the building if the primary heat-supply stops by stopping the ventilation if the panel
feeler gets below a specific value. (Factory setting is 10°C; the value can be set from 1-20°C.)
Figure 1: CTS 700 control
If a water heating element is installed in the system, the regulation vent must be connected electri-
cally as described in the enclosed wiring diagrams.

Assembly of Comfort

When mounting the Comfort-unit future service and maintenance should be considered.
For the Comfort CT300 a free place of minimum 60 cm in front of the system and 20 cm
below the system is recommended. The CT300 can be mounted directly on the wall.
In order to ease the mounting each of the connection pieces is labeled. Please notice the labels.
The connection between the unit and the ducting should be a flexible transition.
The system must be level because of the condense outlet. The condense outlet requires a mini-
mum clearance height of 11,5 cm beneath the outlet connection.
The exchanger is low-noise and low-vibration. However, potential vibrations spreading from the
system to the individual building parts must be taken into account. To detach the system from the
floor, we recommend that the system is placed on vibration absorbers. The vibration absorbers
must be placed diagonally on each corner to ensure that the system does not “fall down” from
them.
It is not necessary to re-insulate the system as it is delivered with a 20 mm standard insulation.

Condensation drain / water seal
The Comfort unit is delivered with a 20mm condensation drain. (PVC, GF-fittings). The drain is
placed under the discharge.

The condensation drain should be carried with an even inclination of at least 1cm per
metre, frost-proof to the nearest outlet. The overflow from the safety valve should also be
carried to the nearest outlet.

To avoid frost problems it can be necessary to supply the condensation drain with a
heating cable. It is the plumbers’ responsibility to secure the drain. (See Accessories)
When the system is running, there can be a vacuum of up to 500Pa (corresponding to 50mm water
column) in the outlet. For this reason, the difference in height in the water seal must be minimum
50mm. This means that the first bend of the water seal must be at least twice as long in order for
the system to be able to dispose of the condense water (see figure 3).
The condensation drain must be airproof from the unit to the water seal in order for the condensa-
tion water to be let away from the unit. If the condensation drain is not airproof false air will be
sucked in to the unit and the water will stay inside the unit.
The water seal can dry out and avoid the water from running out of the unit. Therefore the water
seal should be tested regularly and refilled with water if necessary. An elevated height of the water
seal will reduce the need for refilling with water.


After the installation of the water trap, the operation can be tested in the following man-
ner (the unit must be connected to the canal system and the front door of the unit must
be closed):
Fill the condensate tray with water and start the unit on the highest fan speed. Let the
system run for a few minutes. Make sure that there is no water in the condensate tray
when the test is completed.

Ducting
We recommend that there are used ducts and fittings with rubber packing that meet sealing class
B and that the connections between the unit and the ducting are made with 1 meter sound absorb-
ing flexible transitions as regards sound reduction.
The ducts should be shortened with a hacksaw or an angle grinder and laid out according to the
working drawing. The ducts are typically laid out on the main beam of the truss frame and are se-
cured with hole belts or they are being hanged in assembly belts. Please avoid any unnecessary
area reductions and breaks of the ducting.
The ducts should be insulated –in some cases with the ordinary attic-insulation. All ducts should
be insulated with mineral wool to avoid heat loss and condensation. This also applies for flexible
transitions. If the ducts are laid out in an unheated room it will cause condensation problems if the
unit are turned off for a longer period of time as the hot air from the heated room will rise to the
ducts and cause condensation which can cause damp problems.
Figure 4: Insulation of ducting
The discharge duct leads the exhaust air (from which the system has recovered the energy it con-
tained) to the outside through the roof or outer wall. It is important that the roof stack or wall grille
has at least the same area as the duct immediately ahead of the stack or grille. Any contraction will
cause unnecessary pressure drop, which may reduce ventilation capacity.
The holes for the inlet- and exhaust valves should be cut according to the mounting-frame for the
prescribed valve. The frame for the valve must be secured with screws before placing the valve in
the frame. The valves are placed in accordance with the size, construction and use of the room. As
an example we would not recommend placing an inlet valve just above people with sedentary work
because the inlet air in some cases would be experienced as a draught.
