DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
1. Heat exchange bank
Bank with 3 ranks made of copper pipe and aluminium finning locked together by mechanical expansion of the
pipes. The manifolds in the upper part of the bank are equipped with air vents while the ones in the lower part have
holes to drain out the water. Both manifolds have a housing for the temperature probe of the feed water.
2. Air filter
Can be easily removed and regenerated by simply washing in water.
3. Cabinet
Partly made of steel sheet coated with epoxy powder paint to ensure a high resistance to rust, and partly of antiUV thermoplastic material to protect against ultraviolet rays.
VM-B version: there are grilles to distribute the air in the upper part and a door to access the control panel. Both
are made of anti-UV thermoplastic material.
VM-F version: there are grilles to distribute the air in the upper part and a door to access the control panel. Both
are made of anti-UV thermoplastic material.
The cabinet also has a front grille made of anti-UV thermoplastic material which takes in the air.
4. Bearing structure
Made of adequately thick galvanized sheet metal. The rear part has slots to fix the appliance in place. Models
without cabinets are covered at the front by a panel to protect the ventilating unit.
5. Condensation tray
Made of thermoplastic material to prevent rust from forming. Allows the machine to be installed either vertically or
horizontally. Thanks to its shape, the drops of condensation that form on the manifolds when the appliance is operating in cold mode are collected in the tray when the machine is installed horizontally. The condensation is then
eliminated from the tray which is installed on both sides of the appliance so that the bank can be turned if necessary.
6. Fan motor
The electric motor is protected against overloads, has three speed settings, infinitely engaged capacitator, is
directly coupled to the fans and has elastic shock-absorbing supports. Centrifugal series: has centrifugal fans with
double intake and long blades to achieve a high flow rate at a low rpm rate.
7. Wet connections
Positioned on the left-hand side, the connections are the " type. The bank can be turned if necessary.
8. Control panel (described in the ACCESSORIES section of this manual)

SELECTION CRITERIA
- Configuration:
The convector fan series with centrifugal ventilator includes three versions: VM-B with cabinet and intake from
below, VM-F with cabinet and frontal intake and lastly, VN without cabinet for built-in or ceiling-mounted installation.
Depending on the specific installation requirements, select the version required in compliance with the indications
in Figs 1 to 6. The particular shape of the condensation tray allows the same appliances to be installed either vertically or horizontally. All units are produced with wet couplings on the left-hand side and the electric part on the
opposite side as standard supply. If the position of the wet couplings must be inverted, the units and set of available accessories are pre-engineered for this operation which is described in detail in the installation manual. There
is a wide range of accessories for the various units, allowing these latter to be configured to suit the most varied
plant layouts. The list of available accessories and their compatibility with the various versions and sizes is given in
Tab.10 which is followed by a brief description of the actual accessories themselves.
- Technical specifications:
Tab.2 gives the significant values of the units in the nominal operating conditions mentioned in the table itself. Refer
to the enclosed tables with the individual parameters if the operating conditions differ.
Selection examples:
An example of how a unit is selected is given in order to describe how to use the graphs or tables in the manuals.
The configuration of the unit is obviously bound to the type of system envisaged, thus the selection will be made
considering that the unit will operate in the same conditions as those given for different types of system. The following applications will therefore be considered:
A) system with two pipes for heating and cooling
B) system with four pipes
C) system with two pipes plus electric heating element
D) system with two pipes and ducted unit.
Example 1
The convector fan must guarantee the following specifications:
Total refrigerating capacity 2700 [Watt]
Sensible refrigerating capacity 2100 [Watt]
Operating ambient temperature 27 [C] b.s and 19 [C ] b.u
The value must be obtained at medium speed.
Thermal power 4000 [Watt]
Operating ambient temperature 20 [C ] b.s
Water flow rate as in cold mode for two units.
The value must be obtained at medium speed.

where:
Qw= Water flow rate [l/h]
w1= Density of the water at 10 C [Kg/dm]
Cpw1= Specific heat of the water at 10C [J/kgK]
This water flow rate obtains the expected efficiency ratings at medium speed while in this case, the effective t will
be:
t =
Pft med
2700 3600
=
= 3.5[C]
Q W W 1 cp W 1 659 1 4192
Graph 4 allows the relative load losses to be calculated. In this specific case, these are 35[KPa].
If the load losses were incompatible with the pump characteristics, the version with a 6 C water inlet temperature
and t of 5C could be used. This would obtain a water flow rate of 527[l/h] instead of 659 [l/h] and a 4.4 [C] effective t at an average speed of 4.4 [C]. In this case, Graph 4 gives a load loss of 25 [KPa].
If valve kit VB3-F is used, the additional load losses with the unit powered shown in Graph 14 are 6 [KPa] in the
first condition and 4 [KPa] in the second condition.
The optimum temperature at which the convector fan must be fed must now be found in order to obtain the required thermal power. It is reasonable to suppose that a system with two tubes operates with the same flow rate as
calculated for cold mode operation. Here again, the parameters of the required power must be re-calculated considering that the fan operates at top speed. Use Tab.5.
Thermal power required at top speed Pt max = 4000/0.85 = 4700 [Watt]
In this case, the required t can be easily calculated since both the flow rate and efficiency values have already
been established. Supposing that the flow rate is 527 [l/h], one obtains:
t =
Pt max
4700 3600
=
= 7.8[C]
Q W W 2 cp W 2 527 0.98 4180
where:
Qw= Water flow rate [l/h]
w2= Water density at 60 C [Kg/dm]
Cpw2= Specific heat of the water at 60C [J/kgK]
In this case, Graph 2 shows that to obtain the power required with the selected model 40, the convector fan must
be supplied with water at a temperature of about 58 [C]. As shown in Tab.4 attached to Graph 4, note that the load
losses are less than those obtained in cold mode by a factor of about 0.77. It is therefore logical to expect a higher
water flow rate than the one estimated if the circuit pump characteristics are to remain the same. In this case, the
water flow for which the load losses are 25 [KPa] is about 650 [l/h], as can be seen from the same graph.
Tab.9 can thus be used to calculate the value of the noise generated by the selected unit which, as mentioned previously, is model 40 operating at medium speed, thus an acoustic power of 47 dB[A] and a corresponding sound
pressure of 38 dB[A], measured according to the indicated conditions.

The convector fans in the VN series are equipped with six-speed motors. The most appropriate connection can be
chosen depending on the working head. The graphs given in the following pages show the working head depending
on the flow rate and according to the selected electrical connection. The units leave the production line with the electrical connections shown in Fig.8. The indicated head includes the load losses of the sole bank and filter supplied
with the units. If these latter operate in dehumidifying mode with wet banks, the dotted line gives the additional load
losses and, thus, the relative reduction in working static head. Each graph also gives a curve showing how the total
refrigerating efficiency varies as the air flow rate changes. Depending on plant requirements, the electrical connections can be modified in order to vary the flow rate/head ratio of the motor. With reference to the curves given below
and once the most appropriate connection has been selected, work on the autotransformer directly connected to the
motor for models up to 40 or on the transmission terminal board for larger models. During these operations in the
autotransformer, the faston of the connection cable must be moved from the main terminal board of the actual autotransformer itself and fitted into the most appropriate of the positions numbered 1 to 6 on its data plate. In models
60 120, this operation must be carried out in the transmission terminal board installed between the motor and the
main terminal board. Here again, the connection cable must be moved to the most appropriate of the positions marked 1 to 6 in the data plate.

Valve management includes an ON/OFF control with valve shut signal when the set-point has been reached according to the hysteresis cycles of the heating/cooling graphs. The valves required are the normally closed type with
endothermic actuators and opening/closing times of approx. 3 minutes.
The fan is managed with the time settings described in the VENTILATION CONTROL section in order to keep the
ambient temperature constantly monitored.

Notes:
- If the thermoregulator transfers HEAT management from the electric heating elements to the water valve, delayed
ventilation activation of 180 seconds will not occur and the fan will be permanently activated (since the air is kept
warm by the heating elements until the valve opens).
- In integration mode, the heating elements will be de-activated when the water reaches a temperature of >36C.

3: VENTILATION CONTROL
Fan management with the basic and upgraded thermostats depends on the selected operating mode (cool, heat,
heating elements):
- Fan speed:
If the fans are activated, their speed may be:
Manually selected by the user;
Automatically selected if the fan switch is set to auto mode (upgraded thermostat only).
- Fan thermostat action:
The fan will activate and de-activate as described on page 31.
- Valve thermostat action:
If the valve thermostat action is enabled, the fan will be automatically set for continuous operation in cool mode
(fans permamently on), while in heat mode, the fan is timed as the probe installed prior to the valve is no longer
able to control the cold air inlet :
Fan ON 180 seconds after the valve opening command;
Fan OFF 180 seconds after valve closing command.
The hot start function is always activated (in heat mode) for water temperatures of below 34C
Automatic ventilation:
Automatic fan operation starts at forced minimum speed for 60 sec., after which it is regulated according to the difference between ambient temperature and the temperature value set by means of the set-points.
This difference depends on the hysteresis set in the regulator, which is:
0.6C for wall-mounted control units;
1C for controls units mounted on the machine.
The figure below gives the difference values of control units mounted on the machine. The difference values should
be replaced in the following way to adapt the graphs to the wall-mounted model:
- Cool mode: values +1, +2, +3, become +0.6, +1.2, +1.8;
- Heat mode: values -1, -2, -3, become -0.6, -1.2, -1.8.
