3.4.0 Function of the unit
The principle of the heat recovery in the Turbovex TX3100A is based on the rotating heat
exchanger (B). The exhaust fan (A) extracts the warm room air from the funnel (D) though
half of the heat exchanger (B), and send it through the exhaust cap (F).
Simultaneously the inlet fan will (C) sucks air from the inlet cap (G) and send it through the
other half of the heat exchanger.
The heated fresh air is sent to (E), and diffused in the room.
One half of the rotating heat exchanger will heat up in the warm flow of the exhaust air.
When the heated material in the heat exchanger is in the cool flow of the inlet air, it will
deliver heat from the material to the fresh air.
The process is regenerative as the heat exchanger rotates at low rpm.
The heat exchanger is equipped with a cleaning sector creating a low pressure to
eliminate the possibility of undesirable leaks.

4.2.0 Placement
Turbovex TX 3100A is intended for installation through the roof. The unit can be placed in
roofs with inclines ranging from 0 to 45 degrees. Turbovex TX3100A is available with two
types of mounting brackets.
The standard mounting bracket places the inspection hatch inside the building.
The special mounting bracket is intended for use if you want the hatch placed outside the
building.
4.3. Template
It is a good idea to create a template according to the
incline of the roof. Remember to mark 2 notches and
a center hole. The notches are for placing the unit
horizontally.
a0 = Ø870 mm
a5 = 870 x 880 mm
a10 = 870 x 890 mm
a15 = 870 x 900 mm
a20 = 870 x 930 mm
a25 = 870 x 970 mm
a30 = 870 x 1010 mm
a35 = 870 x 1070 mm
a40 = 870 x 1140 mm
a45 = 870 x 1240 mm

4.4.0 Installing the unit (standard mounting brackets)
Perform measurements and determine the placement
of the unit and drill a small center hole vertically
through the roof. Use the aforementioned template to
make the rest of the hole for the unit according to the
incline of the roof.
The mounting brackets are mounted between the
purlins at a distance of 1000 mm between the two
brackets. The mounting brackets are secured using
mounting screws top and bottom.
The forks on the bracket are adjusted so they are
directly opposite and locked in place using self-
tapping screws through in the telescopic tubes.
The unit, weighing about 200 kg. is mounted in the
brackets so the studs fall into place in the saddle
brackets.
When installing on a slanted roof, please place the
unit so the service hatch is facing the ridge of the roof
to allow for easy access to the hatch.
The unit can be lifted using the two lifting studs
mounted near the top of the unit.

Wire and wire tensioners are fitted in the four brackets
on the side of the unit. Tension is applied to the wires
between the supplied bracket mounted on purlins and
battens. The purpose of the wires is to adjust and
keep the unit in a vertical position.
The inlet ring is pushed onto the unit and secured
using self-tapping screws from both inside and
outside. Now proceed to complete the roofing.
The soft cover is pulled over the unit. Seal the edge
using silicone rubber. Use silicone rubber under the
vertical part of the cover and on the top of the edge to
secure a watertight joint.
When the cover is cut, please note you will need a
10 cm overlap with the overlying roof tile or ridge.
The hole in the cover is cut using the same template
used for cutting the hole in the roof.
The hole in the cover must be cut in a diameter
about 5 cm smaller than that of the template to
ensure a tight fit.
The soft cover is fastened using self-tapping screws
and needs to be no more than 15 mm inside the unit
to ensure ample space for the rotating parts in the
unit.
The filter holders are sealed with silicone rubber and
secured using self-tapping screws.
The top cone is screwed in place using M8 bolts. Silicone grout

4.5.0 Installing the unit using special brackets
Perform measurements and determine the placement
of the unit and drill a small center hole vertically
through the roof. The wooden frame is aligned with
the center hole. Now cut a square hole and secure
the frame to the rafters
Use a template (see 4.3.0 template) and cut a hole in
the wooden frame and the rest of the roof.
One part of the soft cover is mounted on the frame
and the hole is cut out.
The other cover is fastened so it covers the top of the
roof and goes min. 10 cm under the rooftop or the
next rooftile.
The two special brackets are mounted and the angle is adjusted according to the incline of
the roof. The rods are placed as shown on the figure so the saddles of the brackets are
nearer to the ventilation unit. The holes are placed in intervals of 5 degrees, from 0 to 45
degrees.

The unit, weighing about 200 kg is mounted in the
brackets so the studs fall into place in the saddle
brackets.
Place a bolt in the saddle brackets securing the studs
in place.
When installing the unit on a slant roof using special
brackets, ensure that the service hatch is faced away
from the ridge of the roof for better access.
The large electric control unit can be moved to a
different location if needed.
The filter holders are sealed using silicone rubber seal
and secured in place using self-tapping screws.
The top cone is secured with M8 bolts. To place the
holes correct, make sure that the arrows on the
filterholder and the top cone are aligned.
Now you can mount the inlet ring or a bottom
extension. (see 4.6.0)
The intake ring is pushed over the two tubes in the unit and secured with self-tapping
screws from both the inside and outside. Now finish the roofing.
