6. Features
6.1 General
• Interlocked operation with VRV
(Controls of interlocked operation for energy saving: The remote controller for air conditioner can be
used, so special remote controller for Heat Reclaim Ventilator is unnecessary.)
• Mounted for direct expansion coil unit for outdoor air treatment
• Changeover function for ventilation mode to Auto/Manual
• Fresh-up operation (Selectable: Supply air rich mode or exhaust air rich mode; initial setting)
• Mounted for water flow type natural evaporating humidifier
• Possible to attach the high efficiency filter
• Attaching the power supply terminal for easy connection
• Quiet operation
• Changeover function for air flow rate to High/Low (Ultra-high setting is possible.)
• The power supply of Heat Reclaim Ventilator is commonly used with the air-conditioner (1 phase, 220-
240V, 50Hz)
• Filter sign display and reset
• Timer setting
Features of direct expansion coil
• Draftless ventilation in heating
• High humidifying function
How to use this unit
• This unit should be used with air conditioners.
Air conditioning is impossible only by this unit, because this unit does not have temperature control
function. (Its capacity is too small in order to control the room temperature to the whole.)
And should be operated in combination with standard indoor units. (Interlocked operation)
• Independent operation without taking an interlock with indoor units is possible, however, temperature
setting by remote controller is impossible.
In this ON/OFF operation by thermostat depends on factory setting, however, this value is changeable by
setting mode on site.
• Model selection should be done not by cooling capacity but by ventilating air flow rate.

When the outdoor air suction temperature becomes lower than -10°C, the unit is changed to intermittent
operation to prevent freezing of the heat exchanger element and dew condensation within the unit.
Intermittent operation
The outdoor air thermistor (standard equipment) within the unit detects the temperature. According to
the detected temperature, the following operation determines.
<Step 1>
• The air supply fan is changed to intermittent operation, when the temperature is lower than -10°C.
• The intermittent operation of the air supply fan is changed to an operation of each cycle for 45
minutes’ operation after stopping operation for 15 minutes.
• The exhaust fan operates continuously according to setup.
<Step 2>
• When the temperature becomes lower than -15°C, the unit stops operation to prevent any defect,
such as dew condensation and freezing. The unit does not ventilate.
But, to detect the elevation of the outdoor air temperature, the unit operates for 5 minutes per hour.

Selection Procedures (in Japan)

Various methods are used to calculate the required ventilating air flow rate according to CO2 generated by
inhabitants in a room, waste gas generated by use of fire, and other conditions of a room.
Here are 2 patterns of calculating methods.
Based on inhabitants
= 20 × A
Required ventilating
air flow rate (m3 / h) B
A: 20 × Living room floor space (m2)

B: Area occupied per person (m2)
The above equation conforms to article 20, 2
No.2 of the Building Standards Act in Japan.
Notes: 1. 20 (in the above equation) means “20(m3 / h · person)”, which is the required ventilating air flow rate
based on the CO2 exhausted by an adult sitting still in a room. If smoking is allowed, other calculation
method should be used.
2. Use 10 (m2) if the area occupied per person exceeds 10 (m2).

air flow rate (m3 / h)
C: Number of ventilation required per hour (ventilation / h)

D: Area of room (m2)
E: Height of Ceiling (m)
Calculation is based on the experiences of hygienic laboratory, etc. to find out the number of hourly
ventilation of the room air.
(Selection example)
Place: Living room of common household
Required ventilation: 6 times / h (See Table 2)
Area of room: Approx. 30 (m2)
Height of ceiling: 2.4 m

1. Cooling and heating capacities are based on the following conditions. Fan is based on High and Ultra-high.
The figures in the parenthesis indicate the heat reclaimed from the heat recovery ventilator.
When calculating the capacity as indoor units, use the following figures: VKM50GAV1: 3.5kW VKM80GAV1: 5.6kW VKM100GAV1: 7.0kW
2. Indoor temperature: 27°C DB, 19°C WB, Outdoor temperature: 35°C DB
3. Indoor temperature: 20°C DB, Outdoor temperature: 7°C DB, 6°C WB
4. The operating sound measured at the point 1.5 m below the center of the unit is converted to that measured at an anechoic chamber built in accordance with the JIS C
1502 condition. The actual operating sound varies depending on the surrounding conditions (near running unit’s sound, reflected sound and so on) and is normally higher
than this value.
For operation in a quiet room, it is required to take measures to lower the sound. In details, refer to Engineering Data.
5. The noise level at the air discharge port is about 8-11 dB higher than the unit’s operating sound.
For operation in a quiet room, it is required to take measures to lower the sound for example install more than 2m soft duct near the air discharge grille.
6. Air flow rate can be changed over to Low mode or High mode.
7. Normal Amp., input, efficiency depend on the above air flow rate value.
8. OA: Fresh air from outdoor, RA: Return air from room
9. The specifications, designs and information here are subject to change without notice.
10. Temperature exchange efficiency is a mean value in cooling and heating.
11. Efficiency is measured under the following conditions. Ratio of rated external static pressure has been kept as follows. Outdoor side to indoor side is equal to 7 to 1.
12. In heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's coil increases. Heating capability decreases and the system goes into defrost operation.
During defrost operation, the fans of the unit continues driving (factory setting). The purpose of this is to maintain the amount of ventilation and humidifying.
13. When connecting with a VRV heat recovery type outdoor unit and bringing the RA (exhaust gas intake) of this unit directly in from the ceiling, connect to a BS unit identical
to the VRV indoor unit (master unit), and use group-linked operation. See the Engineering Data for details.
14. When connecting the indoor unit directly to the duct, always use the same system on the indoor unit as with the outdoor unit, perform group-linked operation, and make the
direct duct connection settings from the remote controller. (Mode No. “17 (27)” – First code No. “5” – Second code No. “6”.) Also, do not connect to the outlet side of the
indoor unit. Depending on the fan strength and static pressure, the unit might back up.

VKM50GAMV1 VKM80GAMV1 VKM100GAMV1
Humidifier type Natural evaporating type humidifier
Porosity plate 120 pcs.

(60×2 pcs.)
Water inlet port φ6.4 C1220T (Flare Connection)
Water outlet port PT3/4
2
Supply water pressure kg/cm 0.2 (Min.) ~ 5.0 (Max.)
Notes: 1. Feed clean water (city water, tap water or equivalent). Dirty water may clog the valve or cause dirt
deposits in the water container, resulting in poor humidifier performance. (Never use any cooling tower
water and heating - purpose water.)
Also, if the supply water is hard water, use a water softener because of short life.
∗Life of humidifying element is about 3 years (4,000 hours), under the supply water conditions of
hardness: 150 mg/l. (Life of humidifying element is about 1 year (1,500 hours) under the supply water
conditions of hardness: 400 mg/l.)
Annual operating hours: 10 hours / day × 26 days / month × 5 month = 1,300 hours
2. Maintain the supply water temperature at 5 ~ 50°C and its pressure at 20 ~ 490 kPa (0.2 ~ 5.0 kg/cm2).
If the water pressure is above 490 kPa (5.0 kg/cm2), add pressure reducing valve in between the kit
and the supply water shut - off valve.
3. The supply water line cannot be directly connected with a utility water tap. To unavoidably take water
from such line, employ a CISTERN (gotten configuration authorization).
4. Be sure to provide thermal insulation around the indoor piping as well as the shut - off valves.
5. In order to prevent harmful bacteria from generating, do maintenance on humidifying unit portion at the
beginning and the end of the heating season according to the operation manual.

12.3 Reducing Operating Sound

The air suction and discharge grille may give out operating sound higher by 8 to 11 phons than of the Heat Reclaim Ventilators
body.
When installing this unit in a quiet place, take measures to reduce operating sound.
12.3.1 Points for Reducing Operating Sound

1. Operating sound heard from the air discharge outlet can be reduced just by applying sound-insulating
material to the SA (indoor air supply) duct.
Heat Reclaim Ventilator Air suction /
discharge
EA RA grille
OA SA
Flexible duct
Apply sound-insulating
material to the SA duct.
(HC0054)
2. Operating sound can be reduced more effectively by applying sound-insulating material to a portion of
the SA duct near the unit body than that near the air suction / discharge grille.

and exhaust

OA SA

operating sound reduction. (HC0055)
12.3.2 Taking Measures to Reduce Operating Sound Heard from Attic-installed Equipment and Air
Ducts
1. When installing large air volume models (650 m3 / h or more), avoid the following wherever possible if it
is expected to be necessary to apply sound-insulating material to them. (Fig.1)
Fig. 1 (1) (4) (3) (2)
(HC0056)
(1)Making the duct diameter extremely small (Example: φ 250 → φ 150, φ 200 → φ 100)
(2)Making the duct extremely bent using bellows (in particular, connecting bellows to the air discharge
outlet of the unit body)
(3)Making opening holes on the ceiling
(4)Hanging the unit on a material which does not have enough hanging strength
2. Take the following sound reduction measures. (Fig.2)
Fig. 2 (1) (2)
(HC0057)
(1)Use a sound-insulating (low-permeability-to-sound) ceiling.
Note: Some sound-insulating ceilings are not very effective in reducing low-frequency element of the operating
sound.
(2)Place a sound-reducing material under the source of the operating sound.
Note: When using a sound-insulating sheet, it is necessary to have the entire body of the unit covered with it.
Note, however, that some models do not allow the use of a sound-insulating sheet because it may badly
affect the ventilation of their radiation heat.
VKM-GA(M) series 33
12.3.3 Reducing Operating Sound Heard from the Air Discharge Outlet (Suction Inlet)
1. Use the following recommended optional accessories to reduce operating sound heard from attic-
installed duct type models. (Fig.3)
Fig. 3 (1) (2) (3)
(HC0058)
(1) Sound-eliminating box (Silencer)

(2) Flexible duct
(3) Sound-eliminating air suction / discharge grille
2. If the above accessories do not give satisfactory effect or when an attic-installed cassette type model is
used, take the following measure.
Fig. 4
(1)
(HC0059)
(1) Apply a sound-absorbing material to the interior of the room.
3. To reduce the air flow sound heard from the air discharge outlet (suction inlet) of an attic-installed duct
type model, use a small diameter flexible duct, which excels in sound absorptivity, for greater sound
reduction effect.
(1) Branched duct (for letting air flow through two ducts to slow down its speed before it reaches the air
discharge outlets (suction inlets))
Fig. 5 (1) (2)
(HC0060)
(2) Flexible duct
4. Installation of the unit with the source of its operating sound located at a corner of a room will be a
partially effective sound reduction measure; it will keep persons in the center of the room free from the
annoying operating sound, with those in the corner of the room kept annoyed by the operating sound.
To avoid this, try to find the best installation place from which the operating sound is least heard by
everyone in the room.
12.3.4 Effect of Remedy for Sound

Caution
1. Be sure to connect a flexible duct (2 m) to an outlet of the main body in the indoor air supply side.
2. Do not connect a spiral duct and an aluminium bellows directly to the outlet of the main body.
* A silencer is effective especially when using the flexible duct at the same time.

12.3.6 Nameplate for Note

“Notes for duct work” is written on the Heat Reclaim Ventilators as indicated below.
• When connecting a spiral duct or an aluminum bellows, sound at the air discharge outlet is higher by
8~11 phon than the main body operating sound.
• When using this unit in a quiet place, take a remedy for sound by connecting an optional flexible duct at
the outlet of the indoor air suction side of the main body.

¢VKM-GAMV1 series only²
(1) Check that the water supply piping is connected securely.
(2) Open the water supply shut-off valve. (No water will be
supplied at this time.)
(3) Run the Heat Reclaim Ventilator in heating mode.
(See the operating manual included with the indoor unit
for details on how to run the unit in heating mode.)
The water supply will start and the humidifier will begin
operation.
(4) After starting heating (humidifying), the sound of the
water supply solenoid valve will be heard every
3 or 4 minutes (a clicking sound), so listening for that
clicking sound let the unit run for 30 minutes to make
sure that humidifying operation is normal.
CAUTION
• If carpentry work is not completed when a test run is fin-
ished, tell the customer not to run the humidifier for the pro-
tection of indoor unit and Heat Reclaim Ventilator until it is
completed.
• If the humidifier is run, paint, particles generated from
adhesive and other materials used for carpentry work may
cause Heat Reclaim Ventilator to get dirty, causing splash
or leakage of water.

Connection Type
The structure of VKM-GAMV1 model is different from other ventilation models. Points you need to note are
summarized below, which please use for your reference when selecting the model.
17.1 Stand-alone Operation is Possible as an Independent System

Because no function to control the room temperature is equipped, only the operation mode (cooling,
heating, automatic, ventilation) is displayed on the remote controller. Set temperature is not displayed.
(Automatic mode is displayed only when connected with outdoor unit of Heat recovery type.)
In addition, you cannot change the set temperature or set direction of air flow.
Even if you attempt to operate by changing the temperature or air flow direction, only [This function is not
available] will be displayed.
You can select the ventilation mode, ventilation amount and operation switching (if a function to select
either cooling or heating has been provided) only.

17.2 Ability to Calculate Connectable Capacity

Because of an outdoor air processor, the load may increase depending on the outdoor air condition. So,
use the values in the table below when calculating the connectable capacity to an outdoor unit.

[Features of VKM-GA(M)]
Because VKM-GA(M) model is equipped with a heat exchanger unit, a PCB (corresponding VRV PCB) for
controlling the heat exchanger has been built-in in addition to a PCB for ventilation. These two PCBs are
connected via remote controller line (P1, P2) to perform an interlocked control. Its control system provides
the same condition when 1 ventilation and 1 VRV have been remotely controlled. No air-conditioning
(temperature controlling) function has been equipped. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare separately an
indoor unit for air-conditioning purpose.

[Points to be noted for VKM-GA(M)]

There are following restrictions with VKM-GA(M) model due to its own controlling structure.
1. Stand alone system: No address setting is required because of its automatic addressing function
(corresponding VRV PCB: Master).
Because it is under a group control, it is always required to connect to a remote controller. The structure
does not permit if no remote controller is connected. A direct connection to a duct is also prohibited.
2. Interlock system: No address setting is required because of its automatic addressing function (Indoor
unit: Master).
• Basically, the interlocking with an air-conditioner is only made via connection to a remote controller
line (P1, P2).
The display and operation of a
remote controller is the same as
Interlocking of a remote controller group a standard indoor unit.
• Number of units connectable in case of a remote controller group

Because 2 pieces of controlling PCB have been built in a VKM-GAM model, count the remote
controller group as: 1 set = 2 units. The maximum number of units connectable to a remote controller
group is 16.
<Example>
How many units of VKM-GAM model can be connected within a single group?
In case of a group composed of (10 × indoor units + VKM-GAM), the maximum number of VKM-GAM is 3.
10 + 3 × 2 = 16 units OK
In case of 4 units;
10 + 4 × 2 = 18 units NG (2 units are in excess)
• External contact point

If you want to start/stop through an external contact point, use external input terminals (T1 and T2).
* If you start/stop using T1 and T2 terminals, the entire remote controller group makes a start/stop.
Note: 1. JC/J2 of ventilation PCB cannot be used. (Because only the ventilation PCB makes a start/stop, no
synchronized movement with the corresponding VRV PCB is assured.)
17.3 Central Control System

• When carrying out a central connection, connect the central line to F1 and F2 only on the corresponding
VRV PCB. Do not connect to F1 and F2 on the ventilation side. ( = Connect to the terminal block X3M.)

(This is because the operation mode switches automatically depending on the outdoor
conditions regardless of the indoor temperature when set to "Automatic")
Give a function to select cooling/heating to either one of these.
17.4.2 Caution When Connecting with a VRVIII System, Heat Recovery Type
When bringing the RA (exhaust gas intake) of this unit directly in from the ceiling, connect to a BS unit
identical to the VRV indoor unit (master unit), and use group-linked operation.

c) When it is connected to the suction side of indoor unit as a direct duct connection system, etc., since
there is a possibility that the body thermo of the indoor unit detects erroneously SA discharge from this
unit as indoor air, use the remote sensor (Optional).
17.5 About the Basic Control of VKM

17.5.1 Basic Control of VKM
VKM sucks the air after OA has subjected to total heat exchange with RA, detects the air temperature by
means of the thermistor for inlet air into DX-coil (R3T) to make a judgment on operation mode, cooling or
heating and exercises the control on the capacity of air heat exchanger.
Sensor position and its function
VKM consists of indoor unit + total heat exchanger portion.
Dissimilarities with normal indoor unit are:
- Position of thermostat in the normal indoor unit: Position to detect RA temperature
- Position of thermostat in VKM: Position to detect the air subjected to total heat
exchange between OA and RA.
Therefore, the temperature detected by VKM gets lower than that of the indoor unit thermostat.
Doing so allows VKM to perform treatment of outside air with stability even as the indoor unit stays thermo-
OFF state because of big difference between the set temperature and suction temperature even though the
set temperature of VKM and indoor unit are the same.

18.1 Purpose of Ventilation
Living environment, and working environment as well, can be polluted for various reasons, which in turn will
lead to hygienic problems and/or lower productivity. To avoid this, the polluted air must be replaced with
fresh air. This operation is called ventilation.
To apply ventilation for removing pollution, it is necessary to identify the causes of air pollution before
studying corrective measures.
18.1.1 Air Pollution
Dust
There are about 7,500 ~ 22,000 dust particles in the air of one liter. However, if you feel dusty, the number
may have reached as many as 100 ~ 200 thousand. We are unknowingly inhaling such polluted air, which
enters into our trachea and lungs, leading to coughs and difficulty in breathing, some malignant disease
and/or nausea, and in worse cases, other serious chronic diseases such as bronchitis and
pneumoconiosis.
Table 1 Suspended Dust in the Air
Type of dust Content (weight %)
Smoke, pollen, fly ash 0~20%
Ore chips, cinders 10~90%
Rotten plant 0~10%
Vegetable fiber 5~40%
Carbon, fume 0 ~ 40%
Bacteria
Suspended particles of bacteria of 0.2~5μ in diameter are likely being adhered with dust in the air, not
independently suspended. According to NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the
more number of dust particles may allow the more number of bacteria to exist, which may justify the
abovementioned theory of bacteria's presence in the form of adherence to dust. Therefore, it is possible to
remove bacteria using an electrostatic precipitator, though the result of cleaning cannot be easily
measured. It takes time to demonstrate how effectively bacteria could be removed. According to our
experiments that measured the number of bacteria using the settle plate microbe count method, the
number of bacteria in the space above the dust collector electrode is smaller than that collected on a plate
of the same area being left in the air. This indicates that electrostatic precipitators can, to some extent, kill
bacteria collected on the electrode.

Tobacco
Only one cigarette can soon pollute the air in the enclosed room. And both the smoker and other non-
smokers staying here are affected. Especially the “secondhand” smoke from the tip of cigarette contains
2~3 times larger amount of harmful substances (nicotine and tar) than the “main smoke” exhaled by the
smoker, so that the non-smokers around the smoker can be affected by tobacco smoke.
So, tobacco smoke is one of the serious causes of interior air pollution. Tobacco smoke consists mainly of
mists such as tar and nicotine, gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen and
various hydrocarbons including methane, and traces of hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, acrolein,
ammonia and nitrogen oxides (NOx), so that various human health problems including lung cancer, chronic
CO toxication and bronchitis can occur.
New ceilings, walls, furniture and decorations in white will turn into yellow in one or two years. This is due to
the nicotine and tar contained in tobacco smoke, and/or dust in the air.
To allow smoking, proper ventilation is inevitable. A ventilation system consisting of an air cleaner and
ventilator that operates automatically detecting the level of pollution is recommendable. This system can be
associated with an air conditioning system, so that power consumption for these systems can be reduced,
and so that they can enjoy comfortable smoking without feeling hot or cold.

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and very toxic gas. Imperfect combustion of briquette, charcoal or
oil produces CO gases. Tobacco smoke and automobile exhaust gases also contain CO gases.
CO gases inhaled into the lung join together with hemoglobin in the blood, which result in preventing the
bonding between oxygen and hemoglobin, leading to inability to convey oxygen to the tissues of the human
body. The bonding force between CO and hemoglobin is 200 ~ 300 times larger than that between oxygen
and hemoglobin.
A typical symptom is headache. The motor of their limbs is anaesthetized before losing consciousness, so
that they cannot escape away from the place, which may, in the worst case, lead to fatal accident. Inhaling
CO gases repeatedly may lead to chronic poisoning, with short memory, or in the worst case, he (she) is
crippled for life.
The normal atmosphere contains about 21% of oxygen. Combusting the air will reduce the oxygen
concentration. When it reduces to 19%, CO concentration starts to increase quickly. This quick increase in
CO concentration occurs earlier with the lower combustion rate. This is a reason for larger number of CO
poisoning accidents due to imperfect combustion. During combustion, using both exhaust ventilation and
supply of fresh air is preferable.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Carbon dioxide gas is a normal component of the air, normal concentration of about 0.04%.
Physiologically, CO2 gas is requisite for human life: the gas stimulates the respiratory center for
unconscious, automatic breathing. CO2 gases dissolve into blood to maintain the oxygen concentration at
the proper level for the purpose of sustaining normal functions of human body. Hygienically, CO2 gases are
used as an indicator of the atmospheric condition in the room, not treated as a toxic gas.
Higher concentration of CO2 gas will adversely affect the human body, though the effect closely depends
on the oxygen concentration.

Sulfurous acid gas

Volcano exhaust, automobile exhaust or oil fuel-combusted gas and mist contain sulfurous acid gases in
the form of being adhered or absorbed onto suspended dust particles. These gases are a possible cause of
chronic bronchitis or other respiratory diseases.
Nitrogen oxides
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) include NO, NO2, NO3, N2O, N2O3 and N2O4. Of these, NO and NO2 are harmful
and account for large portions of NOx compounds. NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) can easily reach the deepest
part of the lung, and adversely affect it and other organs. In terms of long-term adverse effect, NOx is
stronger than sulfurous acid gases. Dusts can enhance the adverse effect of NOx gases.
NO (nitrogen monoxide) is also harmful, though its chronic effect is yet to be clarified.
• NO2 produced by other than combustion

Oil heaters and gas ovens for oxygen-based combustion produce a large amount of NO2 gases. Electric
ovens also produce NO2 gases though their amount is smaller, and this is not well-known. That is, high
temperatures, regardless of combustion, facilitate bonding between N and O atoms in the air, which results
in the increase in the amount of NO2. Continual generation of high temperatures in an enclosed space thus
requires ventilation.

Oxygen starvation
About 21% of O2 concentration is normal for human body. Lower O2 concentration will cause difficulty in
breathing with other various symptoms. O2 concentration of 8% or lower will have a fatal effect. Higher O2
concentration will cause our pulse rate to increase, which leads to larger burdens on the heart. Abnormally
higher O2 concentrations invite another danger: higher ignition possibilities. Therefore, artificial oxygen
supplies should be avoided. The most effective way for avoiding oxygen starvation is to supply natural air
that contains oxygen concentrations appropriate for human life.

• Yawning is a sign of insufficient oxygen

You may think that persons who frequently yawn have no concentration. However, this is not the case
depending on the situation. Yawning is a physiological phenomenon that can occur when the brain is
suffering from the shortage of oxygen. Concentration can be reduced by the shortage of oxygen. Yawning
is an action to try to keep himself (herself) concentrated. Fresh air required for human body is min. 30 mg
per hour. This corresponds to the oxygen amount contained in a room of normal size (about 10 m2), which
suggests that four persons of a family cannot stay for more than one hour in an enclosed, non-ventilated
living room about four times larger than a normal size bed room or private room. Yawning should be
considered a sign of oxygen shortage. In such cases, immediately take fresh air into the room.

Humidity
Humidity has a close relationship with our living environment. Humidity is an additional parameter to be
controlled by air conditioning systems. It may give persons a feel of mild air, if the temperature is relevant
for the humidity. Imbalance between the temperature and humidity (especially higher humidity) leads to
discomfort. A term that is frequently used in summer, “discomfort index,” indicates this imbalance between
temperature and humidity. Higher humidity causes buildings and furniture to rot. Lower humidity causes our
skins to dry and buildings and furniture to crack or warp. Another point for controlling humidity is to avoid
mold, ticks and termites. To satisfy all of these requirements, two types of ventilation must be used in a well
controlled, combined manner. One is to maintain the humidity for our living comfort, and the other one is to
remove humidity where dryness is required to prevent such mold and small animals.

18.2.2 Air Flow (Quantity), and Dynamic and Static Pressure

Ventilation fan performance parameters include air flow (quantity) and static pressure. These two
parameters relate closely to each other. Ventilation cannot be designed without these two parameters. The
first step of “designing a ventilation system” is to understand these two parameters.
Quantity
Air flow is the amount of air that a ventilation fan exhausts (or supplies) per unit time, generally expressed
in m3/h or m3/min.
Pressure
This is a wind pressure expressed in the unit of Pa. Three types of wind pressure are used.
• Dynamic pressure
This is a pressure produced by wind velocity, also called “velocity pressure.” Deflection of a window
glass by strong wind during typhoon is due to this dynamic pressure.
• Static pressure
When a balloon has been inflated, there is a pressure in the balloon that presses against the
membrane of the balloon. Static pressure is produced also when the air is still.
• Total pressure
This is the sum of wind’s dynamic pressure and static pressure.

“Static pressure (Ps)” is a pressure needed for overcoming the resistance of the duct when conveying air.
“Dynamic pressure (Pv)”, on the contrary, is a pressure due to air stream. To determine air velocity,
measure the dynamic pressure of the air.
The “total pressure (Pt)” is the sum of static pressure and dynamic pressure.

18.2.3 Mechanical Fan Types and their Characteristics

Axial fan and centrifugal fan
Ventilation fan are roughly classified into two types: axial fans and centrifugal fans. These two types of
ventilation fans are selected depending on the operating conditions and/or application. Axial fan is normally
a propeller fan available for applications for larger flow but at smaller pressure rating ranging between 0
and 30 Pa. Centrifugal fan is either a sirocco or turbo fan available for applications that need large
pressure, and available for ducted ventilation systems.

Impeller characteristics as an essential parameter for type selection
Propeller fans have a smaller pressure rating, which means that the air flow is reduced significantly by
adverse wind. The next table shows the airflow vs. pressure characteristics that differ between propeller
and sirocco fans. Depending on the topography, altitude and/or other conditions, as a general guide,
propeller fans can be used at a height corresponding to the second floor of the building, and other types of
fans having a higher pressure rating should be used at higher locations.
* Even for independent houses, to ventilate a room that does not share any external walls, or if the house
is located in a windy place, use a pressure type fan.

18.2.4 Operating Sound

As well as the required airflow and static pressure, the operating sound (noise level) is an important factor
for determining the type of ventilating fans. The noise level allowable limit may have been defined
depending on the use of the room to be ventilated. Select an appropriate type of ventilating fans according
to the noise requirements.
Operating sound unit: dB

A-weighted sound pressure level measured using a sound level meter is the measure of sound produced
by an operating ventilator fan. There has been many units used: phon(A), phon, dB(A) and dB. This
catalogue uses the internationally unified unit “dB.” Note that the sound pressure level in “phon” can be

weighted mode.

Notes for noise level

The noise ratings shown on the nameplate of a product are those measured in an anechoic room per the
relevant JIS standard that specifies measuring procedures including the distance between the noise source
under test and the sound level meter. To select types of ventilating fans, observe the following three notes.
1. The environment affects the noise level.
The nameplate values are those measured in an anechoic room. Actual buildings have echoes from the
walls, floors and ceilings, so that the noise level depends on the building materials used and how wide
the room is. Use appropriate echo coefficients to determine the actual noise level and available fan
types.
2. Vibration
Motor driven fans, a type of rotating machine, inevitably produce vibration, though our largest efforts to
reduce such vibration have been made. To minimize vibration (propagation and resonance), the
product should be firmly mounted on the wall.
3. Synthesis of sounds
When using two or more ventilating fans in a room, consider the synthesized effect of sounds.
Other noise
• Echoes
Depending on the type or material of the wall and ceilings of the room, and in small room, echoes occur.
• Vibration
Vibrating objects produce vibrating sound by moving their surrounding air. 20Hz or higher frequency
sounds are audible.
• Noise due to duct’s resistance
Higher static pressures acting on the fan will produce larger sounds.

18.2.5 Required Air Flow

When calculating the required air flow (ventilating capacity), various factors, including CO2 production by
the persons staying therein and production of combustion gases, should be considered. Calculations
should consider all of the requirements that the room should meet.

Required air flow (m3/h) =
Occupied area per person (m2)
Notes: 1. The number 20 contained in the above equation means 20 m3/h · person. This value (required fresh air)
has been determined based on the CO2 production of a male adult when he is sitting quietly. If he is
smoking, additional air flow is required.
2. In the case that the actual occupied area per person exceeds 10 m2, use 10 as the value of the
denominator of the equation.

0 Odorless
1 Manages to detect the presence of odor (threshold concentration)
2 Manages to detect what is producing the odor (threshold concentration)
3 Easily detects the odor
4 Strong odor
5 Very strong odor
For example, to keep the odor level not greater than 2, the contamination concentration (tobacco
combustion amount (mg)/ventilation amount (m3)) should be reduced to 35.3 mg/m3 or smaller. To keep
the odor level not greater than 1, the contamination concentration should be reduced to 17.7 mg/m3 or
smaller. To calculate required air flow based on smoking concentration, use the following equation.
Tobacco combustion (mg/h · person)

Q= (m3/h)
Allowable contamination (mg/m3)
<Example>
Assumptions: Combustion per cigarette 1,000 mg
Combustion rate 70%

Therefore, under the conditions given above, in the case of cleaning air using ventilation only, about 80 m3/

system, its capacity can be reduced significantly.

18.3 Calculation of Duct Pressure Loss

Some types of ventilating fans, including those (pressure types) installed in a cooking range hood, are
installed in a ducted system. The air flow depends on the pressure losses determined according to the
length of the ducted system and the number of bends, and other accessories contained in the system. Air
flow calculations should consider these pressure drops to estimate the air flow as accurately as possible.

1. Local feature loss coefficient (local feature resistance coefficient)
Bends, and sections where the sectional area is suddenly changed, have, unlike straight sections,
particular types of pressure losses due to eddy current and other factors. The pressure loss of these
non-straight parts is given by the following equation.

• To avoid entry of rainwater, exhaust ducts extending outside should be inclined down by 1/100 or larger.
• To use a two-room ventilating fan for a bathroom and other room, install the fan in the bathroom. Two-
room ventilating fans are designed so that the air flow through the main opening on the fan is about twice
larger than that through the sub opening (for cases where the distance between the main and sub
openings is about 1 m). However, this air flow proportion can be adjusted by moving the air flow
adjusting plate located on the grille of the main unit.

• Components that constitute the ceiling should be strong enough to prevent vibration and sympathetic
sounds.
Recommended material: gypsum board, cement excelsior board, fiber board
• Exhaust duct ends should be fitted with a vent cap or weather cover to prevent rainwater entry and bird
nesting.
• In cold weather areas, the ducts should be thermal-insulated.
In cold weather areas, or in winter, condensation may occur due to the

difference in temperature between the duct surroundings and living room. To
avoid condensation, the ducting and their connections should be thermal-
insulated. Insulation
• Local rules and regulations may have special requirements for fire dampers and bellows. For details,
consult the authorities.
• For bathrooms, use ventilating fans specially designed for bathroom use. Never fail to earth the fan.
• Electric wiring should be done by a qualified electrician (electric engineering firm). High-voltage
connections are dangerous.

Intrusion of harmful
ultraviolet rays
Fluorocarbon Troposphere
Earth's surface
Refrigerants discharged reach the stratosphere

without being decomposed.
Refrigerants are decomposed by strong

ultraviolet rays radiated from the sun.
Chlorine is discharged.
Ozone (O3) reaction caused by chlorine

discharged.
Resulting in ozone layer destruction.
The strong ultraviolet rays radiated from the sun

directly reach Earth's surface.
Resulting in the increase of harmful ultraviolet rays.
Cause of skin cancer and others

Appendix ED71-440B
2. Global warming
(Principle)
Due to the results of human activities such as a large
quantity of consumption of petrochemical fuels (e.g.
petroleum, coal, and natural gas) and forest
destruction, carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbon,
methane, and others in the atmosphere have been
increasing beyond the limit that natural force can
remove them.
As a result, the dissipation of heat from Earth's surface
is interrupted (greenhouse effect), thus resulting in
global warming.
*Gases in the atmosphere

absorb the infrared rays.
Solar light beam
Infrared rays
Earth
Atmosphere
Carbon dioxide, fluorocarbon, methane, nitride,

and others are released from Earth's surface.
Infrared rays (heat rays) from Earth's surface are

absorbed.
Heat (temperature) cannot be dissipated from

Earth's surface.
Resulting in temperature rise and sea level rise.
