Combi 400 Polar Top

Combi 400 Polar Top is a ventilation unit with heat recovery that is typically used in large single-family dwellings with ventilation requirements of up to 425 m3/h.

Most of the time, the heat recovery process occurs via a high-efficiency counterflow heat exchanger. The unit is also equipped with an air to air heat pump that can heat the supply air when the dwelling requires heating. Combi 400 Polar Top is used in low energy houses as primary heat source, but it can also control additional, supplementary heat sources such as electric radiators.

The heat pump has a reversible cooling circuit and it can therefore also cool the supply air with up to 14 ºC when necessary during the summer. It is not comparable with an air conditioner. The cooling effect of the unit is not as substantial, which is due to its low level of air exchange of approx. 0.5 times/hour. The outdoor air condenses, which results in a reduced air humidity level in the dwelling. The low level of air humidity makes it easier to cope with a high indoor temperature. That is why we call it “Comfort cooling”.

Nilan App - Control the ventilation and heat pump directly from the mobile phone

Nilan has developed an App with great features where the user can control the ventilation and heat pump directly from the mobile phone. The App is intuitive, easy and safe to use, and allows the user to e.g. set the room temperature. More ventilation units can be connected using the same App to control the indoor climate in e.g. both the dwelling and the holiday home. More users can be connected the same App.

The Combi 400 Polar Top comes as standard with the Nilan gateway.

Capacity

Capacity of standard unit as a function of qv and Pt, ext

SEL values according to EN 13141-7 are for standard units with ISO 16890 Coarse 75% (G4) filters and without heating element.

SEL values comprise the unit’s total power comsumption excl. control.

Conversion factor: J/m3 : 3600 = W/m3/h.

NB! The SEL values are measured and stated as a total value for both fans.

Temperature efficiency

Temperature efficiency as a function of volume flow qv [m3/h] for unit with counterflow heat exchanger. Temperature efficiency according to EN13141-7 (2°C / 20°C).

NB! The temperature efficiency, is for the heat exchanger only (without heat pump operation).

 

COP (air-air)

Heat output factor COP [-] supply air as a function of outdoor temperature t20 [°C] and volume flow qv [m3/h] in accordance with EN14511 at a room temperature t11 = 20°C

NB! COP according EN14511 is calculated for the heat pump and counter flow heat exchanger combined.

 

Heat output supply air

Heat output Qc [W] as a function of qv [m3/h] and outdoor air temperature t20 [°C]. In accordance with EN 14511, t11=20°C (extract air)

Heat output is the contribution to room heating added to the fresh air via Combi 400 Polar Top to the supply air. 

The ventilation loss is the heat output that is lost without heat recovery at the given volume flow air.

Cooling Effect

Cooling effect Q [kW] as a function of volume flow [m3/h] according to EN14511, extract air = 27 °C, outdoor air = 35°C.

The cooling effect is the contribution added to the fresh air via the Combi 400 Polar Top to the supply air.

Energy Efficiency Ratio

Energy efficiency ratio EER [-] for supply air as a function of volume flow [m3/h] according to EN 14511 at extract air = 27 °C and outdoor air = 35 °C.

NB! COP according to EN 14511 is calculated for the heat pump and counter flow heat exchanger combined.

Sound data

Sounddata is for qv = 275 m3/h and Pt, ext = 100 Pa in accordance with ISO 3744 for surface and EN 5136 for ducts.

Sound output level LWA drops with falling air volumes and falling back-pressure.

At a given distance, the sound pressure level LpA will depend on the acoustic conditions at the installation site.

The CTS602 control system is an advanced control system with many settings options. The control system is supplied with factory default settings that can be adapted to the operational requirements in order to achieve best possible operation and utilisation of the unit.

The HMI Touch panel provides an overview of the current operation of the unit, and the structure of its menu makes it easy to navigate for both user and installer. There is an option for selecting between 2 front page images for the main screen.

External communication
The CTS602i control unit communicates by default with Modbus RTU RS485 communication. A CTS system using this form of communication can easily be connected to the unit.

ATTENTION! When positioning the unit, you should always consider future services and maintenance. It is recommended that you leave a minimum of 60 cm of clear space in front of the unit.

It must be easy to replace filters and it must be possible to replace, for instance, fans and other components.

ATTENTION! The unit must be level to enable proper drainage from the condensate tray.

The unit makes little noise and produces only weak vibrations, but you should still take into account potential vibrations that can spread from the unit to individual building components. In order to separate the unit from its foundation, it is therefore recommended that you install vibration absorbers under the unit. There should be approx. 10 mm distance to other building components and to permanent fixtures.

Condensate drain

ATTENTION! You MUST install a water trap in connection with the condensate drain to ensure that condensate water can drain away. If you set up the unit outside the climate screen, it is important to use a heating cable to prevent the condensate drain from icing up. Frost protection of the unit is the installer's responsibility.
