TAILOR-MADE HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLIES
The hydraulic assembly includes all major components as a factory-tested unit. The assembly and all components are designed specifically for each project for maximum efficiency.
PERFECTLY COORDINATED.
COMPACT UNIT
The Konvekta factory-tested hydraulic assembly includes all major components such as pumps, valves, sensors, the control cabinet with the electrical connections, and the touch screen panel. Depending on the design, plate exchangers for supplemental heat or cooling and free-cooling are also added. The components are selected specifically for each system by Syskon (>>>>see Syskon) and are precisely matched to each other. The hydraulic assembly simplifies the installation and commissioning of the system. The hydronic assembly is compact which makes it ideal for installations with limited space. The assembly is developed in CAD as a 3D model which provides the exact dimensions as well as the weight of the assembly. The assembly is designed early in the design process so that space and lifting requirements can be planned.
OPEN CONSTRUCTION
Konvekta supplies all components in a dust and splash-proof design. The open design allows for dissipation of heat from the pumps and the other components ensuring a long service life of the electronic components. The open design also allows easy access to individual components for service and maintenance.
HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLIES FOR MULTIPLE ZONE SYSTEMS
With multiple zone systems saving space is even more important. Multiple zone systems contain numerous supply and exhaust air units and zones with different requirements (see Multiple Zone Systems). The entire ERS is operated by a single hydronic assembly. This has advantages in terms of saving space and investment cost. Interconnected systems are also advantageous in terms of efficiency, because the required amount of energy within the network is collected where it is available and routed to where it is needed. This is demand-based and occurs only when energy is actually needed. The control system is able to determine the actual demand in all integrated zones and is much more efficient than separate individual systems.
TURBULENT FLOW
Turbulent fluid flow in the tubes of the heat exchanger is essential. Only through this turbulence can heat be efficiently transferred from fluid to air. Therefore, it is important in the design phase that during the Syskon system optimization, (>>>see Syskon) all system conditions in the entire annual cycle are designed so that turbulent flow occurs at all operating points. This applies to both full load and partial load operation. At all operating points, the software evaluates the energy recovery against the additional pump energy required, especially in partial load operation. This is a significant advantage over a conventional standard energy recovery system, which achieves significantly lower efficiencies at reduced air volumes.
REDUNDANT PUMP
For increased operational reliability, the hydraulic assemblies are designed with redundant pumps. Should a malfunction occur in one pump, the system automatically switches to the other pump, this guarantees continual, fail free operation. In normal operation, the pumps are alternated asymmetrically. This ensures that both pumps have different operating times and are due for maintenance at different times. This increases operational reliability. The redundant design of the pump also enables maintenance independent of operation and reduces operational interruptions to an absolute minimum.
