For the installation to be in com

p

liance with EC regulations, the IDEO 325 Ecowatt heat recovery must be

pg, y

connected to the electricity supply in compliance with current regulations.
The device must be installed in such a manner that, in normal operating conditions, there is no risk of
contact with moving and/or live parts.

2 Technical information

2.1 General definition

The IDEO 325 Ecowatt provides optimum ventilation for a room with a minimum loss of energy. It

extracts air from spaces such as (Bathroom/s, WC, kitchen and washroom/s or shower room/s

,

and

supplies fresh air into the main rooms (Living rooms, bedroom/s, office, …).
The fresh and extracted airflows are separated and filtered. Only the energy from the extracted air is
transferred to the new fresh air introduced. Thanks to IDEO 325 Ecowatt ’s high efficiency heat
exchanger, performance can reach up to 95 %.
Condensation may occur at the moment of exchange, with the introduction of fresh air. This is
recovered in a container for condensate, which should be connected to a waste water drain.
Thanks to its

100 %

by-pass, the IDEO 325 Ecowatt enables you to cool your home in the summer.

New fresh air inlet:
The conduit from the outside is connected here.
To avoid condensation, it is recommended to use insulated conduits.

The new fresh air inlet should be fitted sufficiently far from any source of strong

contamination (Trees, combustion fumes, roads …).

Supply fresh air into the building:
The conduit blowing fresh reheated air into the building is connected here.

To avoid thermal losses, it is recommended to use insulated tubes for moving the

warmed air.

Extracting air from the building:
The building’s air extraction conduit is connected here.
To avoid thermal losses and optimise the performance of the installation, it is
recommended to use insulated tubes for moving the warm air.

Discharge extracted air to outside:
The conduit for discharging the extracted air from the building to the outside is
connected here.

This conduit must be hermetic and thermally insulated to avoid condensation

both on the inside and outside.

By-pass:

On having avoided the heat exchanger, the system of the by-pass 100 % of the
