5.5 Preparing the installation of the ducts
INFORMATION
▪ Flexible ducting with sound insulation is effective to
reduce blowing noises.
▪ When you select installation materials, consider the
required volume of air flow and the acceptable level of
noise for that particular installation.
▪ When the return air infiltrates into the ceiling and the
temperature and humidity in the ceiling become too
high, insulate the metal parts of the unit.
▪ ONLY use the service hole to access the inside of the
unit.
▪ The sound pressure level is less than 70dBA.
CAUTION
▪ For safety reasons, the required minimum length of the
ducting is 1.5 m. If the ducting is shorter, or if no
ducting is installed, then you MUST install grilles in the
duct openings or the openings of the unit.
▪ Make sure no wind can blow in the ducting.

inspection hole, reducing the required maintenance space. For
example, if 2 units are installed closely together, ONLY 1
inspection hole is required for maintaining or replacing filters, heat
exchange elements,…
a Control box
b Maintenance cover
c Inspection hole
▪ When the heat reclaim ventilation unit is installed upside down,
the minimum allowed outdoor air temperature is 5°C. If this
CANNOT be guaranteed, you MUST install a heater to heat up the
outdoor air to 5°C.
▪ Keep in mind that the ceiling hooks have to be reinstalled when
the heat reclaim ventilation unit is installed upside down. They
have to be rotated 180°, so that they are upside down (see the
illustration).

▪ To prevent air leakage, wind aluminium tape around the section
where the duct joints and the ducts are connected.
▪ Install the opening of the supply air as far as possible from the
opening of the return air.
▪ Use ducts with a diameter that fit the unit model. See the data
book.
▪ Install the two outdoor ducts with down slope (slope ratio of 1 in
50 or more) to prevent entry of rain water. Also provide insulation
for both ducts, to prevent dew formation. (Material: 25 mm thick
glass wool)
▪ If the level of temperature and humidity inside the ceiling is always
high, install ventilation inside the ceiling.
▪ Insulate the duct and the wall electrically when a metal duct has to
penetrate the metal lattice and wire lattice or the metal lining of a
wooden structure wall.
▪ Install the ducts in a manner that the wind CANNOT blow inside
the ducting.
