VENTBOX 200 Thin

Apartments and family houses up to 150 m²

The VENTBOX 200 Thin ensures controlled ventilation with air recuperation, radon extraction, moisture removal in the house, and is also an effective tool for filtering dust and various allergens. At the same time, it helps reduce the thermal demands of the building. The basic principle of controlled ventilation is to bring fresh air into the house, which is heated through the walls of the recuperative exchanger by the exhaust air and then distributed to the living rooms. Conversely, the exhaust air is extracted from the bathrooms, toilets, and kitchen. In the exchanger, it transfers its heat and, together with water vapor, CO₂, and other pollutants, is expelled through the facade out of the house.

Economy Version

It is designed for highly efficient operation, with optimization of production and operational parameters, allowing for top quality within economic affordability.
This variant offers an excellent price/performance ratio, making it the best choice for those who want to invest in a quality ventilation system with recuperation while staying within reasonable costs.

Very Quiet Operation
The VENTBOX 200 Thin Economy unit excels in acoustic properties. Its operation produces minimal noise, ensuring maximum comfort in living spaces.
Compact Design
Thanks to its thoughtful dimensions, this unit is easily integrable even into limited spaces. Its very low installation height allows for installation in ceilings without compromising interior design.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Users
This unit is an ideal choice for a range of residential projects. Whether placed in an apartment, flat, or family house, it provides stable ventilation with maximum heat recuperation efficiency.

The VENTBOX 200 Thin Economy model will meet even the highest expectations at a reasonable price while maintaining high quality, efficiency, and functionality

By default, the unit is supplied with a counterflow heat exchanger (HRV)

Enthalpy counterflow heat exchanger ERV

The enthalpy counterflow heat exchanger is an optional part of the heat recovery system which, in addition to heat recovery, also allows moisture recovery, thus supporting the maintenance of optimal indoor air humidity and thus improving the user comfort of apartments and residential buildings. These systems bring many benefits, including energy efficiency, reduced heating costs, and improved indoor air quality.

Working principle of the counterflow exchanger

Main features and benefits

• Heat exchange – an enthalpy heat exchanger ERV allows heat energy to be transferred from warmer exhaust air to cooler outdoor air, thereby increasing the temperature of the air entering the building in winter. This helps to reduce heating costs because the fresh air is heated passively during the exchange.

• Moisture exchange – in addition to heat, the enthalpy heat exchanger allows moisture transfer. This is important for maintaining optimum humidity indoors. The moisture in the exhaust air is transferred
to the supply air, which can be useful in areas with extreme climatic conditions.

• Reduction of losses and pollution – the enthalpy heat exchanger also serves to separate the supply and extract air, preventing the transfer of pollution, dirt and unwanted odours from the outside into
the building. This improves the indoor air quality

• Energy savings – operation without the need to preheat the incoming air down to -5 °C.

The enthalpy heat exchanger can be ordered separately or later; after a very simple installation, the entire unit is upgraded with advanced technology. Ordering code: P-019

CONTROL

Unit control via web interface

The home screen is used to view information, control and set up the VENTBOX 200 Thin. The middle part displays the current power of the unit; information and status icons are below, then the current values are measured by the room sensors used by the unit (provided that the sensors are connected to the heat recovery unit). The lower part contains buttons for operating and setting the heat recovery unit.

Control and information panel

The VENTBOX 200 Thin can normally be operated via the web interface, but all basic service operations can also be performed manually (by pressing the appropriate button) on the control panel located on the front of the device:

Ra short press of the button to perform a reboot, which preserves all user and service settings of the device.

Da longer press of the button (5 s) to enter the factory settings, where the ventilation unit runs permanently at reduced power.
At the same time, all user settings will be lost, including weekly program settings and network connections if previously made. The settings for the type of exchanger (ERV/HRV) and fan corrections remain unchanged. The ventilation unit goes back to AP mode including the login password set by the manufacturer.
F press the button (2 s) to set the new filter change interval. Use this only for filter changes!

Information LED

• blue – filters – lit or flashing request for filter change
• red – error – must check “Error messages”

By-pass mode

Bypass mode is one of the key components of VENTBOX central heat recovery units. This mode is enabled by a bypass flap equipped with a servo drive. In case of manual or automatic activation and based on defined temperatures in the web interface, the bypass flap allows bypassing the heat exchanger. The air extracted from the interior is deflected by the bypass flap, so that it does not pass through the heat exchanger, after which it is directly discharged outside the building and does not transfer thermal energy to the outdoor air brought into the unit.

Bypass mode is commonly used during summer operation, especially at night when the outdoor air is naturally cooler. This allows the temperature of the interior spaces to be effectively reduced without the need for active cooling. The bypass thus provides an effective way to ensure optimal thermal comfort in the interior during the warm summer months.

By-pass mode description

1. The principle of the by-pass modeI
– In active mode, warm air from the interior is directly discharged outside without heat exchange. The heat exchanger is deactivated in this mode with the help of a bypass flap, which prevents unwanted heating of the fresh air being supplied. Fresh cool air is blown into the interior.

2. Activation conditions

– Bypass is activated automatically if the temperature in the interior rises above the desired value set in the web interface. Once the desired temperature in the interior is reached, the bypass mode is deactivated and the unit switches back to the standard recovery mode. The web interface can also define the lowest possible temperature of the air supplied to the interior.

3. Protection and filtration

– For the correct function and protection of the system, the bypass flap is supplemented with a bypass filter. This protects the heat exchanger and motor from dust with impurities that may be contained in the air diverted from the interior when there is no air flow through the standard exhaust filter. The bypass filter is necessary to ensure long-term reliability and efficiency of the recovery unit.

Advantages of the bypass flap

• Energy savings – reduces the need for active interior cooling in the summer.
• Increased comfort – allows the use of naturally cooler outdoor air to improve the indoor climate.

User functions that you can control

• ventilation shutdown – Standby mode (unit is not disconnected from a power supply)
• switching between automatic and manual mode (A/M)
• one-time reduction of ventilation power when leaving the building (holiday)
• short-term increase of ventilation intensity (BOOST mode)
• manual bypass flap switching (summer only)
• user device settings
