Chapter 2 Application

The Brink Renovent Sky 150 is a ventilation unit with heat recovery with a maximum ventilation capacity of 150 m3/h and low-energy fans.
Features Renovent Sky:

• steplessly adjustable air flow rates through a “Brink Air control” (supplied with appliance).
• filter indication on the “Brink Air control” / multiple switch.
• a completely new intelligent frost protection system which ensures that also at low outdoor temperatures the appliance’s performance remains optimal and that, if necessary, it activates the standard preheater.
• low sound level
• comes as standard with automatic bypass valve
• constant flow control
• low energy consumption
• high efficiency

Renovent Sky 150 is available in two types:

• “Renovent Sky 150”
• “Renovent Sky 150 Plus”

Compared to the Renovent Sky 150, the Renovent Sky 150 Plus has a more extensive control board which increases the connection options.
These installation instruction describe both the standard Renovent Sky 150 and the Renovent Sky 150 Plus.
With the aid of the supplied mounting brackets, the Renovent Sky 150 (Plus) can be mounted either on the wall or on the ceiling. For the correct position of the connection ducts and dimensions see §3.2.
When ordering an appliance always state the correct type; subsequent conversion to a different version is highly labour-intensive.
The Renovent Sky 150 comes ready to plug in with a 230 V mains plug.
The appliance comes as standard with a “Brink Air control”, but connection of a simple 4-way switch is possible as well. If a 4-way switch is installed instead of a “Brink Air control”, the settings of the appliance can only be changed with a laptop!
Connecting a combination of “Brink Air control” and multiple switch is another option.

Chapter 4 Operation

4.1 Description
The appliance comes plug and play and operates fully automatically. The extracted indoor air heats up the fresh, clean outdoor air. That saves energy and fresh air is sent to the required rooms.
The control system has four ventilation modes.
The air flow rate can be adjusted per ventilation mode. The constant volume control system ensures that the air flow rate of the supply and extract fans is realised independent of the duct pressure.
4.2 Bypass conditions The standard bypass valve makes it possible to supply fresh outside air that is not heated by the heat exchanger. Particularly during summer nights it is desirable to supply cooler outside air. Then the hot air in the dwelling is replaced by cooler outside air in so far as possible.
The bypass valve opens and closes automatically when a number of conditions are satisfied (refer to the table below for bypass conditions). The operation of the bypass valve can be adjusted in step number 5, step number 6 and step number 7 in the settings menu (see chapter 12).
Bypass valve open
– The outdoor temperature is higher than 7°C and
– the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature in the dwelling and
– the temperature in the dwelling is higher than the temperature set at step no. 5 in the settings menu (set a standard at 22°C).
Bypass valve closed
– The outdoor temperature is lower than 7°C or
– the outdoor temperature is higher than de indoor temperature in the dwelling or
– the temperature from the dwelling is lower than the temperature set at step no. 5 in the settings menu minus the set temperature by the hysteresis (step no. 6), this temperature is factory 20 °C (22,0 °C minus 2,0 °C).
4.3 Frost protection
To prevent freezing of the heat exchanger at extremely low outdoor temperatures, the Renovent Sky features intelligent frost control. Temperature sensors measure the temperatures across the heat exchanger and, if necessary, the preheater is switched on. That guarantees a proper ventilation balance, also at very low outdoor temperatures. If, with switched on preheater(s), the exchanger temperature still starts to drop below zero, stepless unbalance is created in the appliance.
4.4 Renovent Sky Plus version
The Renovent Sky is also available as Plus version. This version is equipped with a different control board with 2 additional connectors (X14 & X15) with more connection options for various applications.
Only the Plus is equipped with a 9-pole connector (connected to X15 on control board) that is accessible from the outside of the appliance.
If a postheater or extra preheater is connected to connector X14 (accessible after opening the front panel ) the installer must feed the connected 230 Volt cable to outside the appliance through a strain reliever. For this strain reliever (not supplied with the appliance) a plug must be removed from the position where this strain relieve must be placed.
See §9 for more information on the connection possibilities of connectors X14 and X15.

Chapter 5 Installation

5.1 Installation general
Instaation must take place under:

• Quality requirements ventilation systems dwellings.
• Quality requirements balanced ventilation in dwelings.
• The regulations for ventilation of dwellings and residential buildings.
• The safety regulations for low-voltage installations.
• The regulations for connection to interior sewers in dwell-ings and residential buichrigs.
• Any additional regulations of the local utilities.
• The instalation instructions for the Renovent Sky 150
• In addition to the above design and installation requirements and recommendations. the national building and ventilation regulations must be complied with.

5.2 Placing the appliance
The Renovent Sky 150 can directly be mounted to the wall or ceiling usirig the mounting brackets supplied for that purpose.
Because of the appliance’s weight, mounting the appliance must always be done by two people!
The Renovent Sky can direcUy be mounted to the wall/ ceiling uskig the suspension brackets supplied for that purpose. For a vibration-free result the appliance must be mounted to a solid wal with a minimum mass of 200 kg/rn’. A gypsum block or metal stud wall does not suffice! Additional measures such as double panelling or extra studs are required in that case. h ad-dition. the following aspects must be taken into account

• The appliance must be placed level.
  
• The installation room must be such that a good conden-sate discharge with air trap and pitch for condensate can be made.
• We recommend not to install the heat recovery unit in spaces with an average high RH (for instance bathroom) That wit prevent condensation on the outside of the hem recovery unit.

Make sure that under no condition the condensate 4A, discharge is installed at a pitch towards the appli-a ce. t, The appliance is only suitable for ceiling or wall mounting! Never mount the appliance flat on the floor because of the position of the condensate discharge bin!
The heat recovery unit must be installed in an insulated. frost-free room to prevent. among other things. freezing ofthe condensate discharge

• When mounting flexible ducts. bear in mind that it must be possible to replace them in due course.
• Make sure there is sufficient free space at the appliance to allow cleaning of the filters and maintaining the appliance. It must be possible to swing the door open.
• Avoid the use of petroleum-based adhesives in air plant systems.
• Dwellings with construction moisture must be ventilated naturaly during a certain period!

Ceiling mountino:
At least 70 cm at the underside of the appliance and a free headroom of 1.8 m: if 70 cm free space is not avaiabile. for instance when mounting on lop of a suspended ceeng. there must be sufficient room to partly open and remove the front panel.
The front panel can be detached after removing a lock screw at the hinge! (§ 3..1/ nr. 6)
Make sure the filters can always freely be removed. so there is no frame or other obstade at the level of the fillers!
Wall mounting :
Make sure there is a free space of at least 70 cm at the front of the appliance and a free headroom of 1.8 m. Make sure there is at least 20 cm free space at the appli-ance side where the electric connections are located. so convectors and sleeves remain accessible.
Ari ducts-

• The air ducts must be mounted air-tight
• The air ducts to and from the dwelling must be fitted with a muffler.
• Mounting of air ducts to the roof deck must be avoided in order to prevent sound transmission.
• It is recommended to restrict the external duct pressure in the design to 100 Pa at the design flow rate in order limit the total sound level. In all events the practical external duct pressure must be limited to 150 Pa
• The air velocity must be limited to 5 Ms it the main duds and 3.5 m/s in the branches.

5.2.1 Placing the appliance for ceiling mounting
5.2.2 Placing the appliance for wall mounting

5.3 Connecting the condensate discharge
The Renovent Sky must always be fitted with a condensate discharge. The condensate must be discharged through a drainpipe
The condensate discharge connection with 3/4″ mail thread (supplied with the appliance) must be screwed into the appliance’s condensate bin by the installer.
Important: Always install a detachable coupler in the condensate discharge line as closely as possible to the appliance, otherwise the condensate bin cannot be removed from the appliance for service purposes!
The condensate discharge line can be mounted to it, preferably glued, if necessary using a square bend. The installer can glue the condensate discharge to the appliance in the desired position. The drain must discharge under the water level in the U-trap. Use a condensate discharge line with a diameter of 32 mm.
Particularly for ceiling mounting, make sure the condensate discharge is below the level of the condensate bin in the Renovent Sky!
Before connecting the condensate discharge to the appliance, pour water into the U-trap to create an air trap.

5.4 Electric connections
5.4.1 Connecting the power plug
The appliance can be connected to an easily accessible, earthed wall socket with the plug that is mounted to the appliance. The electric installation must comply with the requirements of your power company. The appliance comes ready to plug in with a 230 V mains plug
