Accessories
  • Matching flanges for both ends, including seals

 

Useful additions
  • Plastic secondary silencer Type CAK for demanding acoustic requirements

 

Construction features
  • Circular casing
  • Short casing: 15 in without flange, 400 mm with flange
  • Spigot suitable for ducts according to DIN 8077
  • Both spigots with the same diameter (1o in)
  • Position of the damper blade indicated externally at shaft extension

 

Material and surfaces
  • Casing and damper blade made of flame-resistant polypropylene (PP), flammability to UL 94, V-0
  • Effective pressure sensor (bluff body or Venturi nozzle) and plain bearings made of polypropylene (PP)
  • Damper blade seal made of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)

 

Standards and guidelines
Fulfils the hygiene requirements of
  • EN 16798, Part 3
  • VDI 6022, Sheet 1
  • DIN 1946, Part 4
  • For other applicable standards and guidelines refer to the hygiene certificate
Casing leakage
  • EN 1751, Class C
Closed blade air leakage
  • EN 1751, class 4
  • Meets the increased requirements of DIN 1946, Part 4, with regard to the acceptable closed blade air leakage

 

Maintenance
  • Maintenance-free as construction and materials are not subject to wear
  • We recommend zero point correction once a year; alternatively you can use the EASYLAB control component with the EM-AUTOZERO expansion module for automatic zero point correction

Function

The VAV terminal unit is fitted with an effective pressure sensor with a bluff body or a nozzle for measuring the volume flow rate.
The control components (attachments) include an effective pressure transducer that transforms the effective pressure into an electric signal, a controller, and an actuator. The controller compares the actual value with the setpoint value and alters the control signal of the actuator if there is a difference between the two values.
Setpoint value default setting
Fume cupboard control
  • The volume flow rate setpoint depends on the control strategy for the fume cupboard:
    • Face velocity
    • Sash distance
    • Combination of face velocity and sash distance
    • Using switch contacts (2-point, 3-point)
    • Constant value
Volume flow control
  • The volume flow rate setpoint is specified by an external setpoint value setting

Specification text
Circular VAV terminal units made of flame-resistant plastic, for variable air volume systems and fume cupboards. Suitable for the control of extract air containing hazardous particles, as all components coming into contact with the airflow are made of plastic (no interior metal parts). Ready-to-commission unit which consists of the mechanical parts and the electronic control
components (attachments). Each unit contains an averaging effective pressure sensor with bluff body or a nozzle for volume flow rate measurement, and a damper blade. Factory assembled control components (attachments) complete with wiring and tubing. Effective pressure sensor with 0.1 in measuring holes, hence resistant to contamination. Position of the damper blade indicated externally at shaft extension. The damper blade is factory set to open position, which allows a ventilation airflow even without control. Meets the hygiene requirements of EN 16798, Part 3, of VDI 6022, Sheet 1, and of DIN 1946, Part 4.
