DUPLEXbase PS 3500
DUPLEXbase PS 3500 is designed for the energy efficient, comfort ventilation of schools,restaurants, sports halls, shops, and offices as the unit has a powerful air delivery with low energy consumption and exceptionally high thermal efficiency. With a range of control options including Internet and BMS compatibility for "On Demand" ventilation the unit also incorporates an automatic, 100% summer by-pass to isolate the heat recovery function during the hotter months.
Unique to DUPLEXbase PS Range is the ability to position the unit on the floor or in a ceiling-suspended configuration, indoors or floor-standing outdoors (accessories required). This versatile design also allows the unit to be installed as either a left or right-hand version. The front door enables easy access to all components. Inlet and outlet ports are rectangular. The unit has separate doors which allow for an easy filter change.
The casing thickness of 30 mm, is made of: – Steel sheet with aluzinc coating AZ 185 (corrosion class C4 according to EN ISO 12944-2) and a thickness of 0.8 mm – Polyisocyanurates (PIR) 30mm – Heat transfer coefficient =0.024W/mK Housing properties according to DIN EN 1886: – Mechanical stability: D1 – Housing leakage: L2 – Thermal insulation: T2 – Thermal bridge class: TB2 Building material class according to DIN EN 13501: B-s2-d0 Condensate tray with integrated stainless steel tray.
This provides exceptional flexibility for designers in the specification phase and gives contractors the opportunity to locate the unit in the optimum position.
