How it Works

1 4

3 2

Cooling Mode Scenario

1. 100% fresh outside air enters the unit and passes through an air-to-air heat /
energy exchanger where it exchanges heat (and moisture) with the return air
(stage 3) that is to be exhausted.

2. Once the air has been precooled (or dehumidified) passing through the air-to-
air heat / energy exchanger, additional cooling is provided by a DX evaporator
coil to maintain the desired room temperature.

3. Cool dry air returns to the unit where it exchanges heat / energy with the hot
fresh air before it is exhausted from the building.

4. Before the return air is exhausted outside, it is used to reject heat from the DX
condenser coil and being cooler than the outside air boosts unit EER.

Conversely, in a heating scenario the air-to-air heat exchanger provides preheating to

minimise the outside air load. The integrated DX system is reverse cycle and switches
to heating mode when required

Features

Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers

Air Change’s unique counterflow plate heat
/ energy exchangers provide optimal heat
transfer between outside air and return
air, reducing the outside air load with
significant running cost savings.

BLDC Inverter Compressors (Optional)

The variable capacity of inverter compressors provide a match
of heating or cooling capacity with the heating or cooling
load. Because the load and capacity are matched, inverter
compressors offer enhanced energy efficiency during capacity
turn-down due to the reduced compressor lift. As DX systems
typically spend minimal time at full design load, this translates to
significant seasonal energy savings.

Features

EC Supply Air and Exhaust Air Fans

EC fans offer optimal levels of energy efficiency. They also
have high static pressure development, making them suitable
for applications requiring high filtration grades or long ductwork
runs.

ClimaSync Control System (Optional)

The optional ClimaSync Control System ensures optimal
performance and reliability. The control logic and operational
functions are programmed to meet the requirements of each
project. Features include proactive thermostat logic, performance
status and trends, advanced protection logic, alarm histories, and
time scheduling. Unit operation is achieved through touchscreen
human machine interface, high level interface, or through online
connectivity.

Economy Cycle & Return Air Bypass Modes

(Optional)
Dampers can be integrated into the unit to provide the optional
operating modes of Economy Cycle and Return Air Bypass. See
the schematics on the following page for details.
