Compact P2

Compact P2 is a multi-unit with several installations combined in one compact installation. It is intended for small dwellings with a ventilation requirement of up to 425 m3/h. Compact P2 ventilates the dwelling and produces domestic hot water. You can also combine the unit with a geothermal heat pump or an air source heat pump. Both of these can be fully integrated in Compact P2. 

By combining several installations in just one installation, you save considerable space in the machine room. Another advantage is that the control systems work in unison, which optimises power consumption and thereby enables an overall saving in energy consumption. 
 

Airflow (see planning data for SEL/SFP values)

Min : 100 m3/h
Max : 425 m3/h

The “heart and lungs” of the house

Compact P2 is not a traditional ventilation unit. In contrast to other ventilation units, it recovers 100% of the heat from the extract air. The counterflow heat exchanger makes it possible to recover up to 95% of the energy in the extract air. This is then used to heat the outdoor air. The integral heat pump will utilise any remaining energy for producing domestic hot water. 

 

Passive heat recovery

Passive heat recovery occurs via a counterflow heat exchanger with a temperature efficiency of up to 95%. The outdoor air is heated by the extract air. This ensures the least possible heat loss from the ventilation process. 

Due to the high level of heat recovery, ice may form in the exchanger during winter. The control system has an efficient de-icing function that will de-ice the exchanger if necessary. Alternatively, Compact P2 is available as a Polar model, which has an integral pre-heating element for frost protection. This ensures that ice cannot form in the exchanger, and it provides full heat recovery throughout the winter. 

Passive and active heat recovery

When the integral heat pump in the ventilation part is not producing domestic hot water, it can heat the supply air even further and thereby help heat the dwelling. 

This only happens when the indoor temperature or the supply air temperature falls below the value specified in the settings. 

When the heat pump heats the supply air, the domestic hot water is also heated slightly at the same time. The temperature may therefore exceed the one that you have set as your desired hot water temperature. 

Domestic hot water

The integral heat pump uses the energy in the extract air that has not been recovered by the counterflow heat exchanger. It uses this remaining energy to produce domestic hot water. 

There is software-based scald protection of 60 °C, which means that the temperature in the hot water tank will not exceed this. If the requirement for hot water is considerable, we recommend that you install an actual anti-scald valve under the hot water tank so the temperature in the tank can increase to 90 °C. Compact P2 is available with a solar coil mounted in the hot water tank. If the requirement for domestic hot water is very high, the solar coil can act as supplementary heat source.

You can connect different energy sources to help heat the domestic hot water such as solar panels, district heating or a GEO geothermal heat pump. 

Anti-legionella function
Compact P2 has an anti-legionella function that you can activate manually or set to activate automatically.

100% bypass function

When the outdoor temperature is above 14 °C, the unit will operate in summer mode. The unit will then cool the indoor air if the indoor temperature gets too high according to the values specified in the settings. 

If the outdoor air is cooler than the indoor air, the bypass damper in the unit will open. The outdoor air will then bypass the heat exchanger, and the heat from the extract air will not get transferred to the outdoor air. This will help keep the temperature down inside the dwelling. 

If the outdoor air is warmer than the indoor air, the bypass damper will close. The outdoor air will then flow through the heat exchanger, which will recover the coolness from the cooler indoor air and use it to cool the outdoor air. 

 

Active cooling

The heat pump in the ventilation part is reversible. This means that it can both heat and cool the supply air. 

When the outdoor temperature is above 14 °C, the unit will operate in summer mode. The unit will then cool the indoor air if the indoor temperature gets too high according to the values specified in the settings.  

When cooling, the unit will first attempt to do so by means of the bypass function. If this proves inadequate, it will begin to cool actively via the heat pump.

This requires that the active cooling function has been activated as the process uses electricity. But it is not wasted because the heat that is extracted from the supply air is transferred to the hot water tank. If the requirement for cooling is high, it is recommended that you install a scald protection device below the hot water tank. You can then set the max. temperature in the hot water tank between 60 °C and 80 °C.

You can find further information about all the functions in the Software and Installation instructions for 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.

  • Connect the ventilation part to the duct system via spouts at the top of the unit.
  • Connect up the domestic hot water under the hot water tank to the right.

Smart Grid

Compact P2 has been certified in accordance with the German Smart Grid, which allows the electricity provider to override the operation so it becomes as cost effective as possible for the user. 

The Smart Grid solution can also be used in connection with solar cells if you want to optimise operation at times when most energy is being produced.
