The manual consists of basic information and recommendations concerning the design, installation, start-up and operation, to ensure a proper fail-free operation of the unit. The key to proper and safe operating of the unit is to read this manual thoroughly, use the unit according to given guidelines and adhere to all safety requirements. 5 Product information 5.1 General The SAVE VSR 300/500 is a heat recovery ventilation unit, with a built in rotary heat exchanger. The SAVE VSR 300/ 500 is suitable for houses with up to 240/360 m2 heated living area. The SAVE VSR 300/500 supplies filtered outdoor air to residential areas and extract air from bathroom, kitchen and wet rooms. 211458 | A002 Product information | 5.2 Installation recommendation regarding condensation 5.2.1 Condensation inside of the unit When the unit is installed in a cold attic (close to outdoor temperature) the unit should run continuously. If the unit is intended to be stopped by the user manually or due to calendar function we recommend to install air tight dampers at extract and supply air ducts. The dampers will ensure that no air circulates from the warm parts of the building through the unit to outside (chimney effect). If no dampers are installed there is risk of condensation inside the unit and the outdoor ducts during these stop periods. It also might be that cold air from outside could pass the unit and enter into the building. That could cause condensation outside the supply and extract air ducts and even at the valves in the rooms. When the unit is not running due to late commissioning in winter time, the supply and extract air ducts should be disconnected and closed due to above mentioned effects until commissioning and regular operation. 5.2.2 Condensation outside of the unit When the unit is installed in warm humid areas (like laundry) together with low outdoor temperature there is a certain point where moisture can condense outside of the casing. The condensation relation to indoor relative humidity, room and outdoor temperature is shown diagram below. The condensation outside of the unit do not occur in zones bellow each curve. Important Recommendation: If condensation occurs, increase ventilation in area close to the unit. 1. Room temperature 20°C 2. Room temperature 22°C 3. Room temperature 24°C 4. Room temperature 26°C Examples when condensation outside of the unit can occur: Example A: If the unit is installed in room where temperature is 22°C, outside temperature is –15°C, then dew will start accumulating when relative humidity is 46% and higher. Example B: If the unit is installed in room where temperature is 20°C, outside temperature is –25°C, then dew will start accumulating when relative humidity is 34% and higher. 5.3 Transport and storage The SAVE VSR 300/500 should be stored and transported in such a way that it is protected against physical damage that can harm panels etc. It should be covered so dust, rain and snow cannot enter and damage the unit and its components. 211458 | A002 3 4 | Product information The appliance is delivered in one piece containing all necessary components, wrapped in plastic on a pallet for easy transportation. 5.4 Technical Data 5.4.1 Dimensions and Weight of VSR 300 Fig. 1 Dimensions of VSR 300 * Drainage The unit weight is 61 kg. 211458 | A002 Product information | 5.4.2 Dimensions and Weight of VSR 500 Fig. 2 Dimensions of VSR 500 * Drainage The unit weight is 72 kg. 5.4.3 Duct connections Fig. 3 Duct connections Symbol 5.4.4 Description Symbol Description Supply air Outdoor air Exhaust air Extract air Power consumption and fuse size SAVE VSR 300/500 come with 1670 Winstalled re-heater battery.
