Mitsubishi Electric has launched a new version of its popular Lossnay heat recovery ventilation system to set a new benchmark for advanced energy recovery products. The Lossnay RX5 series, which is now available in the UK, helps maintain Mitsubishi Electric's lead in the field of energy recovery ventilators.
The nine new models available have a new Hyper Eco Lossnay core, unique to the manufacturer, to offer the industry's best total heat exchange efficiency. Energy conservation performance has been improved not only by reducing the air conditioning load associated with ventilation, but also by facilitating higher levels of humidity penetration to avoid the air drying out.
'The microscopically small pores at the heart of Lossnay have been made even smaller, which shields unwanted gases such as ammonia and hydrogen, whilst aiding the transfer of moisture for improved energy efficiency,' explained Philip Ord, Product Marketing Manager for the Air Conditioning Department.
Like all Lossnay, the RX5 can link with advanced, touch screen, centralised controllers, but new for this series is a remote controller that boosts energy conservation and performance even further. The new PZ-60DR-E controller offers increased functionality, to make it easy to control, monitor and maintain a perfectly ventilated environment. The system also offers a new four-level air volume setting that allows for exact control and aids energy conservation further.
The RX5 comes with a new 'by-pass' function which allows the extremely energy efficient free cooling operation of the Lossnay systems to now be controlled via external control signals or devices. Easy connection with a CO2 sensor allows you to measure density and then control the precise amount of fresh air supplied.
'We have improved Lossnay in virtually every area to provide even greater flexibility of design, installation and operation,' added Ord. 'Lossnay has led the field for many years and this new version builds on our market-leading status to offer even greater scope for energy recovery.'
Key to the flexibility of the system is a multi-ventilation mode which enables the balance of the supply and exhaust air to be altered to suit a wider variety of environments and locations. A weekly timer function allows air volume to be pre-set hourly and weekly, so that Lossnay can automatically operate when needed while maintaining exact air quality. A night purge setting enables Lossnay to draw cooler summer air into the room to suppress temperature rises at night, thereby reducing the air conditioning load required first thing in the morning.
'Commercial buildings face increasing demands for energy conservation yet at the same time, staff and customers rightly expect the highest standards of air quality,' added Ord. 'These new Lossnay models make fresh air achievable for almost any environment whilst ensuring the best levels of energy efficiency possible.'
