CHAPTER 11 Lossnay Q and A
ii

Fresh outdoor air must be introduced constantly at a set ratio in an air conditioning system. This fresh air is introduced to be mixed with the return air from the room, to adjust the temperature and humidity, supply oxygen, reduce body and other odors, remove tobacco smoke and to increase the cleanness of the air. The standard ventilation (outdoor air intake) volume is determined according to the type of application, estimated number of persons in the room, room area, and relevant regulations. Systems which accurately facilitate these requirements are increasingly being required to be installed in buildings.
1. Necessity of Ventilation
The purpose of ventilation is basically divided into oxygen supply, cleaning of air, temperature control and humidity control. Cleaning of the air includes the elimination of odors, gases, dust and bacteria. The needs of ventilation are divided into personal comfort, assurance of environment for animals and plants, and assurance of environments for machinery and constructed materials. In Japan legal regulations regarding ventilation are set in the Building Srandard Law Enforcement Ordinance and the Building Management Law for securing a sanitary environment in buildings. These are in general agreeance with similar regulations in other countries.
1.1 Room air environment in buildings

In Japan, the Building Management Law, a law concerning the sanitary environment of buildings, designates eleven applications including offices, shops, and schools with a total floor area of 3,000 m2 or more, as buildings. According to this law maintenance and management of the ventilation and water supply and discharge according to the Environmental Sanitation Management Standards is obligatory. The following table gives a specific account of buildings in Tokyo. (Tokyo Food and Environment Guidance Center Report) Specific Account of Buildings in Tokyo (March, 2003)
Number of buildings Offices Shops Department Stores Schools Inns Theaters Libraries Museums Assembly Halls Art Museums Amusement Centers Total 1,467 309 63 418 123 86 12 11 63 8 27 2,587 % 56.7 22.0 2.4 16.2 4.8 3.3 0.5 0.4 2.4 0.3 1.0 100.0
Note: Excludes buildings with an expanded floor space of 3,000 to 5,000 The ratio of results of the air quality measurement public inspection and the standard values that were not met (percentage of unsuitability) for the approximately 500 buildings examined in 1980 is shown in the chart at the right. There was a large decrease in unsuitable percentages of floating particles, but there was almost no change in temperature and carbon dioxide. Values for temperature, ventilation, and carbon monoxide almost entirely cleared the standard values, and are excluded. The study from 2002 shows the item with the highest percentage of unsuitability as temperature with 2.7%, followed by carbon dioxide at 22.8%.

(From reference data in the 2003 edition of the Water Supply Division, Dept. of Localized PublicHealth, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Bureau of Public Health)

In the case of Japan, an Instruction Guideline based on these regulations has been issued, and unified guidance is carried out. Part of the Instruction Guideline regarding ventilation is shown below. The fresh outdoor air intake must be 10 m or higher from ground level, and be distanced appropriately from the exhaust air outlet. (Neighbouring buildings must also be considered.) The fresh outdoor air intake volume must be 25 to 30 m3/hperson in design. An air volume measurement hole must be installed at an effective position to measure the treated air volume of the ventilating device. The position and shape of the supply diffuser and return grille must be selected so the air environment in the room is distributed evenly.

Note: According to Facility Check List published by Kagekuni-sha.
1.3 Effect of air contamination in buildings
Dirtiness of interior New ceilings, walls and ornaments will turn yellow in one to two years. This is caused by dust and the tar in tobacco smoke.
2. Ventilation Standards
The legal standards for ventilation differ according to each country. Please follow the standards set by the country. In the US, Ashrae revised their standards in 1989 becoming more strict. In Japan, regulations are set in the The Building Standard Law of Japan Enforcement Ordinance, the so-called Building Management Law for securing a sanitary environment in buildings. According to the Building Standards Law, a minimum of 20 m3/h per person of ventilation air is required.
3. Ventilation Method
3.1 Ventilation class and selection points
An appropriate ventilation method must be selected according to the purpose. Ventilation is composed of Supply air and Exhaust air functions. These functions are classified according to natural flow or mechanical ventilation using a fan (forced ventilation). Classification of ventilation (according to Building Standards Law)
Supply Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4 Mechanical Mechanical Natural Natural Exhaust Mechanical Natural Mechanical Mechanical & natural Ventilation volume Random (constant) Random (constant) Random (constant) Limited (inconstant) Room pressure Random Positive pressure Negative pressure Negative pressure

The positional relation of the exhaust air outlet to the supply air diffuser is important. The room pressure is negative. Local exhaust is possible. Ventilation without dispersing stale air is possible. Ventilation with reduced air flow is possible. The positional relation of the exhaust air outlet to the supply air diffuser is important.
3.2 Comparison of ventilation methods

There are two main types of ventilation methods. Centralized ventilation method This is mainly used in large buildings, with the fresh outdoor air intake being installed in one machine room. For this method, primary treatment of the fresh outdoor air, such as heat recovery to the intake air and dust removal is performed being distribution to the building by ducts. Independent zoned ventilation method This is mainly used in small to medium sized buildings, with areas being ventilated using fresh outdoor air intakes formed of independent ventilation devices. The rate of use of this method has recently increased as independent control is becoming ever more feasible. Centralized ventilation method Independent zoned ventilation method 1) System operation with cassette-type air conditioner

2) System operation with ceiling embedded-type air conditioner

3) Independent operation with ceiling suspended-type air conditioner

Cassette-type or ceiling suspended-type package air conditioner or fan coil unit Supply grill Exhaust grill Ceiling recessedtype Lossnay Exhaust air Fresh outdoor air Finished ceiling

Comparison of centralized ventilation method and independent zoned ventilation method
Centralized ventilation method Fan power The air transfer distance is long thus requiring much fan power. Independent equipment room is required. Installation space Duct space is required. Penetration of floors with vertical shaft is not desired in terms of fire prevention. Generalized per system. Design of outer wall is not lost. Designability The indoor supply air diffuser and return grille can be selected freely for an appropriate design. Can be utilised for any one area. The number of intakes and exhaust air outlets on the outer wall will increase; design must be considered. The design will be fixed due to the installation fittings, so the design of the intakes and exhaust air outlets must be considered. As there are many common-use areas, if the building is a tenant building, an accurate assessment of operating cost is difficult. Invoicing for each zone separately is possible, even in a tenant building. Independent zoned ventilation method As the air transfer distance is short, the fan power is small. Independent equipment room is not required. Piping space is required only above the ceiling.
Zoning

Controllability
As the usage time setting and ventilation volume The user in each zone can operate the ventilator control, etc., is performed in a central monitoring freely. room, the users needs may not be met The ventilator can be operated even during offappropriately. peak hours. A large amount of ventilation is required even for a few persons. An ideal supply air diffuser and return grille position can be selected as the supply air diffuser and return grilles can be laid out freely. Consideration must be made of the noise from the main unit. Anti-vibration measures are often not required as the unit is compact and the vibration generated can be dispersed.
Comfort
The only noise in the room is the aerodynamic sound. Anti-vibration measures must be taken as the fan in the equipment room is large. Centralized management is easy as it can be performed in the equipment room. The equipment can be inspected at any time.
Maintenance and management
Work efficiency is poor as the equipment is not centrally located. An individual unit can be inspected only when the room it serves is vacant. Limited as only independent units are affected. Consultation with the tenant is required prior to inspection of an individual unit.
Large as the entire system is affected. Trouble correspondence Immediate inspection can be performed in the equipment room.
4. Ventilation Performance
The ventilation performance is largely affected by the installation conditions. Ample performance may not be achieved unless the model and usage methods are selected according to the conditions. Generally, the ventilation performance is expressed by Air volume and wind pressure (static pressure), and these are necessary when considering ventilation.
4.1 Air volume

Air volume expresses the volume of air exhausted (or supplied) by the unit in a given period. Generally, this is expressed as m3/hr (hour).
4.2 Wind pressure

When a piece of paper is placed in front of a fan and let go, the piece of paper will be blown away. The force that blows the paper away is called the wind pressure, and this is normally expressed in units of Pa. The wind pressure is divided into the following three types:
4.2.1 Static pressure

This is the force that presses the surroundings when the air is still such as in an automobile tyre or rubber balloon. For example, in a water gun, the hydraulic pressure increases when pressed by a piston, and if there is a small hole, the water sprays out with force. The pressure of this water is equivalent to the static pressure for air. The higher the pressure is, the further the water (air) can be sprayed.
4.2.2 Dynamic pressure

This expresses the speed at which air flows, and can be thought of as the force at which a typhoon presses against a building.
4.2.3 Total pressure

This is the total force that wind has, and is the sum of the static pressure and dynamic pressure.
4.3 Measurement of the air volume and wind pressure

Mitsubishi measures the machines air volume and wind pressure with a device as shown below according to the Japan Industrial Standards (JIS B 8628). Measuring device using orifice (JIS B 8628 standards)

Measurement method
The unit is operated with the throttle device fully closed. There is no air flow at this time, and the air volume is 0. The maximum point of the static pressure (A point, the static pressure at this point is called the totally closed pressure) can be obtained. Next, the throttle device is gradually opened, the auxiliary fan is operated, and the middle points (points B, C and D) are obtained. Finally, the throttle device is completely opened, and the auxiliary fan is operated until the static pressure in the chamber reaches 0. The maximum point of the air volume (point E, the air volume at this point is called the fully opened air volume) is obtained. The points are connected as shown below, and are expressed as air volume, static pressure curves (Q-H curve).
Static pressure (H)
Air volume (Q)
5. Outdoor Air (ventilation) Load

5.1 How to calculate each approximate load
The outdoor air load can be calculated with the following formula if the required outside air intake volume Q m3/h to be introduced is known: (Outdoor air load) = QF (iO - iR) = [kg/m3] S [m2] k n [person/m2] Vf [m3/hperson] (iO - iR): i [kJ/kg] S k n Specific gravity of air - 1.2 kg/m3 Buildings airconditioned area Thermal coefficient; generally 0.7 - 0.8. The average population concentration is the inverse of the occupancy area per person. If the number of persons in the room is unclear, refer to the Floor space per person table below. Vf : Outdoor air intake volume per person Refer to the Required outdoor air intake volume per person table below. iO : Outdoor air enthalpy - kJ/kg iR : Indoor enthalpy - kJ/kg : : : :

Example calculations of determining ventilation load during both cooling and heating are given as follows:
5.2 Ventilation load during cooling (in general office building)

Classification of cooling load
Class Heat from walls (qWS) (a) Indoor infiltration heat Heat from glass from direct sunlight (qGS) from conduction & convection (qGS)
Accumulated heat load in walls (qSS) Generated heat from people (b) Indoor generated heat
Genarated heat from electrical equipment (c) (d) Reheating load Outdoor air load (qRL)
Sensible heat (qFS) Latent heat (qFL)
(a) is the heat infiltrating the room, and often is 30 to 40% of the entire cooling load. (b) is the heat generated in the room. (c) is applies only when reheating is necessary. (d) is the heat generated when outdoor air is mixed into part of the supply air diffuser volume and introduced into the room. The outdoor air is introduced to provide ventilation for the people in the room, and is referred to as the ventilating load. Typical load values (during cooling)
Type of load
Outdoor air load 33.8% 53.0 W/m2 Indoor infiltration heat 30.3% 47.6 W/m2
Outdoor air load Indoor generated heat People Lighting equipment Total
156.5 W/m2
Indoor generated heat (people, lighting equipment) 35.9% 56.4 W/m2
Indoor infiltration heat
Conditions: Middle floor of a general office building facing south.
Cooling load per unit area When the volume of outdoor air per person is 25 m3/h, and the number of persons per 1 m2 is 0.2, the cooling load will be approximately 157.0 W/m2. How these values are determined can be seen as follows:
Outdoor air load

Air conditions <Standard design air conditions in Tokyo>
Dry bulb temp. Relative humidity Wet bulb temp. Cooling Outdoor air Indoors 33 C 26 C 63% 50% 27 C 18.7 C Enthalpy 85 kJ/kg 53.2 kJ/kg Enthalpy difference 31.8 kJ/kg
When the load per floor area of 1 m2 with a ventilation volume of 25 m3/hperson is calculated with the above air conditions, the following is obtained: Outdoor air (ventilation) load = 1.2 kg/m3 (Specific gravity of air) 0.2 persons/m2 (no. of persons per 1 m2) 25 m3/hperson (outdoor air volume) 31.8 kJ/kg (air enthalpy difference indoors/outdoors) = 190.8 kJ/hm2 (530 W/m2)
The Lossnay recuperates approximately 70% of the exhaust air load and saves on approximately 20% of the total load.
Sensible heat (qHS) Latent heat (qHL) Sensible heat (qES) Latent heat (qEL)
Load 53.0 W/m2 26.4 W/m2 30.0 W/m2 47.6 W/m2 157.0 W/m2

Determining internal heat gain
When classifying loads, the internal heat gain (indoor generated heat + indoor infiltration heat) will be the value of the outdoor air load subtracted from the approximate cooling load when it is assumed that there is no reheating load. (Internal heat gain) = 157.0 W/m2 53.0 W/m2 = 104.0 W/m2 This value of internal heat gain is based on assumptions for typical loads. To determine individual levels of internal heat gain, the following is suggested:
Indoor generated heat

(1) Heat generated from people Heat generation design value per person in office Sensible heat (SH)= 63.0 Wperson Latent heat (LH) = 69.0 Wperson Total heat (TH) = 132.0 Wperson The heat generated per 1 m2 of floor space is (heat generated from people) = 132.0 Wperson 0.2 person/m2 = 26.4 W/m2 (2) Heat generated from electrical equipment (lighting) The approximate value of the room illuminance and power for lighting for a general office with illuminance of 300 350 Lux, is 20 - 30 W/m2.
Indoor infiltration heat

This is the heat that infiltrates into the building from outside. This can be determined by subtracting the amount of heat generated by people and lighting from the internal heat gain. (Indoor infiltration heat) = 104.0 (26.4 + 30.0) = 47.6 W/m2
The Lossnay recuperates approximately 70% of the outdoor air load and saves on approximately 20% of the total load.

5.3 Ventilation load during heating

Classification of heating load
Class Heat lost from walls (qWS) (a) Indoor heat loss Heat lost from glass (qGS) Heat loss from conduction & convection (qGS) Accumulated heat load in walls (qSS) (b) Outdoor air load Sensible heat (qFS) Latent heat (qFL)
During heating, the heat generated by people and electrical equipment in the room can be subtracted from the heating load. However, as the warming up time at the start of heating is short, this generated heat may be ignored in some cases. Percentage of load
Type of load Outdoor air load
Outdoor air load 41.9% 56.0 W/m2 Indoor heat loss 58.1% 77.7 W/m2
Load 56.0 W/m2 77.7 W/m2
Internal heat Total
133.7 W/m2
Conditions: Middle floor of a general office building facing south.

133.7 W/m2
Internal heat loss In terms of load classification, the internal heat loss is the value of the outdoor air load subtracted from the approximate heating load. Internal heat loss = 133.7 W/m2 56.0 W/m2 = 77.7 W/m2 Heating load per unit area When the outdoor air volume per person is 25 m3/h, and the number of persons per 1 m2 is 0.2 persons, the approximate heating load will be approximately 133.7 W/m2. Outdoor air load Air conditions <Standard design air conditions in Tokyo>
Dry bulb temp. Relative humidity Wet bulb temp. Heating Outdoor air Indoors 0 C 20 C 50% 50% 3 C 13.7 C Enthalpy 5.0 kJ/kg 38.5 kJ/kg Enthalpy difference 33.5 kJ/kg
When the load per 1 m2 of floor area with a ventilation volume of 25 m3/hperson is calculated with the above air conditions, the following is obtained: Outdoor air (ventilation) load = 1.2 kg/m3 0.2 persons/m2 25 m3/hperson 33.5 kJ/kg = 201.0 kJ/hm2 (56 W/m2)
The Lossnay recuperates approximately 70% of the outdoor air load and saves on approximately 30% of the total load.

1. Construction and Features of Lossnay

Lossnay construction
The Lossnay is constructed so that the exhaust air passage from the indoor side to the outdoor side (RA EA) and the fresh air passage from the outdoor side to the indoor side (OA SA) cross. The Lossnay heat recovery unit (Lossnay Core) is installed at this cross point, and recovers the heat by conduction through the separating medium between these airflows. This enables the heat loss during exhaust to be greatly reduced. * RA : Return Air EA : Exhaust Air OA : Outdoor Air SA : Supply Air

(1) Cooling and heating maintenance fees are saved while ventilating. (2) The capacity and performance of the air conditioner can be reduced. (3) Dehumidifying during summer, and humidifying during winter is possible. (4) Comfortable ventilation is possible, (the outdoor air being adjusted to the room temperature.) (5) Effective sound-proofing.
2. Construction and Principle of Core

Simple construction The Lossnay Core is a cross-flow total heat recovery unit constructed of plates and fins made of treated paper. The fresh air and exhaust air passages are totally separated allowing the fresh air to be introduced without mixing with the exhaust air. Principle The Lossnay Core uses the heat transfer properties and moisture permeability of the treated paper. Total heat (sensible heat plus latent heat) is transferred from the stale exhaust air to the fresh air being introduced into the system when they pass through the Lossnay. Try this simple experiment. Roll a piece of paper into a tube and blow through it. Your hand holding the paper will immediately feel warm. If cold air is blown through the tube, your hand will immediately feel cool. Lossnay is a total heat exchanger that utilizes these special properties of paper.
SA Indoors Supply air diffuser (Fresh cold or warm air)
Outdoors
EA Exhaust air (Stale air)
Partition plate (Treated paper)
Spacer plate (Treated paper) OA Outdoor air (Fresh air) RA Return air (Stale cold or warm air)
Treated paper The paper partition plates are treated with special chemicals so that the Lossnay Core is an appropriate heat recovery unit for the ventilator. This paper differs from ordinary paper, and has the following unique properties. (1) The paper is incombustible and is strong. (2) The paper has selective hydroscopicity and moisture permeability that permits the passage of water vapor only (including some water-soluble gases). (3) The paper has gas barrier properties that does not pass gases such as CO2. Hyper Core The Hyper Core that utilizes the worlds thinnest* 25 m ultra-thin film imperforate paper has been developed to further reduce gas transfer and to improve humidity exchange efficiency. The Hyper Core is mounted to the LGX-RX4. (* As of January 22, 2004, in the case of a high moisture permeable material used for total heat exchange elements) 16

A comparison of the ordinary paper and the Lossnay Core plates is as shown in the table.
Ordinary paper Water vapor is transferred, but gas elements that are easily dissolved in water such as CO2, NO2 are also transferred.
Highly humid air Water vapor CO2 NO2
The contaminated air passes through the plates during ventilation and returns to the room. Treated paper Water vapor is transferred, but gas elements such as CO2, NO2 are not transferred.

The contaminated air does not almost return to the room when ventilated. Hyper core The water vapor transfer rate has increased with further reduction of gas transfer. The rate at which the contaminated air returns to the room has been reduced to less than 1%*, and the total heat exchange performance has also been improved.

Total heat recovery mechanism

Sensible heat and latent heat The heat that enters and leaves in accordance with changing temperature (rise or drop) is called sensible heat. The heat that enters and leaves due to the changes in a matters physical properties (evaporation, condensation) is called latent heat. (1) Temperature (sensible heat) recovery 1) Heat conduction and heat passage is performed through a partition plate from the high temperature to low temperature side. 2) As shown on the right, the heat recovery efficiency is affected by the resistance of the boundary layer, and for the Lossnay there is little difference when compared to materials such as copper or aluminium which also have high thermal conductivity.

3. Calculation of the Total Heat Recovery Efficiency

The Lossnay Cores heat recovery efficiency can be considered using the following three transfer rates: (1) Temperature (sensible heat) recovery efficiency (2) Humidity (latent heat) recovery efficiency (3) Enthalpy (total heat) recovery efficiency The heat recovery effect can be calculated if two of the above efficiencies is known. (The temperature and enthalpy efficiencies are indicated in the applicable catalogue.)
SA Indoors Supply air (Fresh cold or warm air)
Outdoors
EA Exhaust air (Stale air)
Each recovery efficiency can be calculated with the formulas given below. When the supply air volume and exhaust air volume are equal, the heat recovery efficiencies on the supply and exhaust sides are the same. When the supply air volume and exhaust air volume are not equal, the total heat recovery efficiency is low if the exhaust volume is lower, and high if the exhaust volume is higher. Refer to the Heat Recovery Efficiency Correction Curve in the applicable catalogue for more details.
Item Formula t = t (OA) - t (SA) 100 t (OA) - t (RA) i = i (OA) - i (SA) 100 i (OA) - i (RA)
OA Outdoor air (Fresh air) RA Return air (Stale cold or warm air)
Temperature recovery efficiency (%) Enthalpy recovery efficiency (%)
: Efficiency (%) t : Dry bulb temperature (C) i : Enthalpy (kJ/kg)
Calculation of air conditions after passing through Lossnay

If the Lossnay heat recovery efficiency and the conditions of the room and outdoor air are known, the conditions of the air entering the room and the air exhausted outdoors can be determined with the following formulas.
Supply side Temperature Enthalpy tSA = tOA - (tOA - tRA) t iSA = iOA - (iOA - iRA) i Exhaust side tEA = tRA + (tOA - tRA) t iEA = iRA + (iOA - iRA) i

4. What is a Psychrometric Chart?

The chart which shows the properties of humid air is called a psychrometric chart. The psychrometric chart can be used to find the (1) Dry bulb temperature, (2) Wet bulb temperature, (3) Absolute humidity, (4) Relative humidity, (5) Dew point and (6) Enthalpy (total heat) of a certain air condition. If two of these values are known beforehand, the other values can be found with this chart. The way that the air will change when it is heated, cooled, humidified or dehumidified can also be seen easily on the chart. (1) Dry bulb temperature t (C) Generally referred to as standard temperature this is measured with a dry bulb thermometer (conventional thermometer). The obtained value is the dry bulb temperature.
Temperature (C)
(2) Wet bulb temperature t (C) When a dry bulb thermometers heat sensing section is wrapped in a piece of wet gauze and an ample air flow (3 m/s or more) is applied, the heat applied to the wet bulb by the air and the heat of the water vapor that evaporates from the wet bulb will balance at an equal state. The temperature indicated at this time is called the wet bulb temperature. (3) Absolute humidity x (kg/kg) The weight (kg) of the water vapor that corresponds to the weight (kg) of the dry air in the humid air is called the absolute humidity.
W et (d bu ew lb po tem in pe t) t rat ( ur C e )
(4) Relative humidity (%) The ratio of the water vapor pressure Pw in the humid air and the water vapor pressure Pws in the saturated air at the same temperature is called the relative humidity. This is obtained with the following formula: R = PW/PWS 100
(5) Dew point t (C) The water content in the air will start to condense when air is cooled. The dry bulb temperature at this time is called the dew point.
The dew point t of the air at point A is the temperature of the point at the same absolute humidity as point A on the saturation curve. t A Parallel to absolute temperature scale line t C dew point
Ent halp yi( kJ/k g)
(6) Enthalpy i (kJ/kg) Physical matter has a set heat when it is at a certain temperature and state. This retained heat is called the enthalpy, with dry air at 0 C being set at 0.

5. Calculation of Lossnay Heat Recovery

The following figure shows the conditions of various air states when fresh air is introduced through the Lossnay Core. If a conventional sensible heat recovery unit is used alone and is assumed to have the same heat recovery efficiency as Lossnay, the condition of the air supplied to the room is expressed by point A in the figure. This point shows that the air is very humid in summer and very dry in winter. The air supplied to the room with Lossnay is indicated by point S in the figure. The air is precooled and dehumidified in the summer and preheated and humidified in the winter before it is introduced to the room.

The following can be determined from the above calculation results: Saving of 64.0 kW of the heating load, and 57.1 kW of the cooling load is possible. The heat source equipment and related ventilator capacity that is equivalent to this saved amount can be reduced, thus the operation and maintenance costs can also be saved. Approximately 430,000 yen can be saved in operation and maintenance costs during heating and 400,000 yen during cooling, for a total savings of approximately 830,000 yen.

5. The Result of No Virus (phage) Cross Contamination for the Lossnay

Core and Determining Resistance of the Lossnay Core to Molds
Test report
This document reports the result that there is no virus (phage) cross contamination for the Lossnay Core.
(1) Object
The present test was conducted to verify that there is no airborne virus (phage) cross contamination from the outlet air to the inlet air of the Lossnay Core in the heat exchange process.
(2) Client
Name: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Nakatsugawa Works Address: 1-3 Komaba-cho, Nakatsugawa-shi, Gifu, Japan
(3) Institution and Analyst

Name: Kitasato Research Center of Environmental Sciences Address: 1-15-1 Kitasato, Sagamihara-shi, Kanagawa, Japan Analyst: Microbiology Department shunji Okuda, Noriko Shimasaki
(4) Test Period

December 22, 2004 (Test materials was operated by engineers of your company)
(5) Test Materials

New Lossnay core Hyper Element*
(6) Organism
1) Test virus E.coli phage X174 ATCC 13706-B 2) Host bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 13706 3) Host bacteria culture Escherichia coli (explained in 2)) was inoculated into 0.5% Nacl-added Nutrient Broth (Difco), and was cultivated overnight at 35:. The resultant medium containing approximately 109 CFU/ml of host becteria was used as host becterium solution. 4) Test virus solution E.coli phage X174 was mixed with host bacterium solution (explained in 3)) and cultivated. The resultant medium was filtrated by membrane filter owing to removal of Escherichia coli, and was diluted with sterile ion-exchanged water to obtain test virus solution of approximately 107 PFU/ml.
(7) Method
1) Outline The test apparatus is schematically shown in Fig. 1. The air flow rate was 250m3 /hr in the outlet and inlet ducts intersecting each other at the Lossnay Core. Air-sampling tubes were attached, with their openings against the air flow, at the each center of 4 sites, outlet duct upstream (location A) and downstream (location B) and inlet duct upstream (location C) and downstream (location D) of the Lossnay Core. The test was performed as follows: Test virus solution was sprayed from the upstream side of the outlet duct, and a specified quantity of air was then simultaneously sampled with midget impingers at 4 sites, locations A, B, C, and D around the Lossnay Core to count the number of airborne viruses contained in the air. 29
2) Spray of test virus solution The test virus was sprayed in the outlet duct at a pressure of 1kgf/cm2 while supplying compressed air from the compressor into the nebulizer containing the test virus solution. 3) Sampling of airborne viruses Airborne viruses were collected using the midget impinger as described below. Air in the duct was aspirated at a rate of 5 liters per minute for 4 minutes. Hence, a total of 20 liters of air was collected in 25 ml of sterile ionexchanged water in the midget impinger. 4) Method for counting the number of viruses Ion-exchanged water in the midget impingers, which possibly contained airborne viruses (E.coli phages), was used as the sample stock solution, and its 10-fold serial dilutions were then made. 0.2 ml of the stock solution and each dilution were mixed with 0.2 ml of host becterium solution of about 109 CFU/ml, and then mixed with 4.0 ml of soft agar for top layer. The mixture was then layered on the surface of 0.5% NaCl-added Nutrient Agar. The resultant medium was incubated for 18 hr at 35:. The number of plaques formed was counted to determine the number of airborne viruses per 20L of sampled air.

(8) Test result

The concentration of test virus solution was 1.2X107 PFU/ml. The result of test is shown in table-1.
(9) Consideration
The test virus was E. coli phage X174 with a small viral particle diameter (about 20 nm). Test viruses were detected at locations A and B on the outlet side, from which the test virus solution was sprayed. In contrast, no test viruses were detected in 20L of sampled air at location C (in the air filtered by the ULPA filter) or location D (in the air crossed in the Lossnay Core) on the inlet side. Therefore, it can be concluded that airborne viruses in the outlet side will not cross the dividers (specially processed paper) of the Lossnay Core to the opposite inlet side even when heat is exchanged there.

(Unit of measurement: PFU/20L-air) * Hyper Element is LGH-RX4 series core. Note: Above test concluded that airborn viruses which is about 0.02m will not cross the paper of Hyper Element. In the other test used Bacillus Subtillis and Serratia Marcescers which are about 0.5 - 0.3m, their Bacteria do not cross the core paper for LU-500 and LGH-40ES. 30

Note: Immediately after starting heating, the flame was ignited simultaneously with the generation of smoke. Penetration was observed approx. 2 min. 30 sec., after heating was started. There were no further changes. In above test the Lossnay core material for LU and LGH-40ES type is used. Hyper Element paper for LGH-RX4 series was tested at the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. according to the standard of UL94, Test for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances, 1998. The material was evaluated as per 5VA classified of flammability. 32
7. Lossnay Cores Soundproofing Properties Test

As the Lossnay Core is made of paper and the permeable holes are extremely small, the Core has outstanding soundproofing properties and is appropriate for ventilation in soundproof rooms. For example, the exposed ceiling-type LGH-100RX3-E has soundproofing characteristics of 35.0dB with a center frequency of 500Hz. This means that a sound source of 84.4dB can be shielded to 49.4dB.

8.5 Conclusion
(1) Changes in the characteristics of the Lossnay Core after approximately eleven years of use and an estimated 28,000 operation hours were not found. In numerical values, the static pressure loss was 150 to 160 Pa at 500 m3/hr which was a 10 Pa increase, and the exchange efficiencies had decreased slightly at above 500 m3/hr. However, this is considered to be insignificant and remained in the measurement error range. (2) Looking at the appearance, the Core surface was black with dust, but there were no gaps, deformation or mold that would pose problems during practical use.

9.1 Principle construction of rotary-type
The rotary-type heat recovery unit is composed of a rotor that has a layered honeycomb structure made of kraft paper, drive motor and housing. A large quantity of moisture absorbent material (lithium chloride, etc.) is applied onto the rotor, and humidity is transferred. The rotor is rotated eight times a minute by the drive motor.
Exhaust Approx. 1.5 Fresh air Purge sector
Drive motor
Power supply AC 200 V 50/60 Hz
The principle of this rotary-type is for example when cooling, the high temperature and high humidity fresh air passes through the rotor, with the heat and humidity being absorbed by the rotor. As the rotor is rotating, it moves into the exhaust air passage, and the heat and humidity is discharged to outdoors because the exhaust is cool and has a low humidity. The rotor rotates and returns to the fresh air passage to absorb the heat and humidity again.
Rotor Supply air Bearing Fresh air Purge sector Exhaust Room side
Return air
Drive motor
Function of purge sector There are two separation plates (purge sector) in the front and back of the rotor to separate the flow of the air. As one of the plates is slightly shifted, part of the fresh air always flows into the exhaust air passage to prevent the exhaust air and fresh air from mixing. (A balanced pressure difference is required.)

As the supply air and exhaust air pass through different passages (sequentially layered), the air passages are completely separated. Rotary-type <Heat accumulation/humidity accumulationtype: counterflow> The rotor core is composed of honeycomb-shaped kraft paper, etc., to which a moisture absorbent is applied (lithium chloride, etc.). This rotor is rotated, and heat accumulation/humidity accumulation heat discharge/humidity discharge of total heat exchange is performed by passing the exhaust and intake airs into a honeycomb passage. Supply air and exhaust airs flow into the same air passage because of the rotary-type construction. Used (rotor driven with belt by gear motor) Rotor core (8 rpm) Treated paper, aluminum plates, etc. Required (periodic cleaning required) Occurs (Dust is smeared into element air passage filter.) (The dust adhered onto the core surface is smeared into the air passage by the purge sector packing. Thus, it cannot be removed easily and the air volume decreases.)

2. Calculating the Static Pressure Loss

2.1 How to read the air volume - static pressure curve
It is important to know the amount of static pressure loss applied onto the Lossnay when using parts such as ducts for the air distribution. If the static pressure increases, the air volume will decrease. The air volume - static pressure curve (Q-H curve) shows this percentage. A static pressure of 19.6 Pa is applied on to point A, and the air volume is 500 m3/h. The duct resistivity curve shows how the static pressure is applied when a duct is connected to the Lossnay. Thus, the L = 9.97 m duct resistivity curve in the diagram is the curve that shows how the static pressure is applied when a 10 m duct is connected. The intersecting point A with the Lossnay Q-H curve is the operation point. This calculation should be done for both SA and EA.

How to read Table 3 Select the unit as per each duct. In the above example, the 520 rectangular pipe only goes as far as 17. Thus, the long side, short side and converted circular pipe values are all multiplied by 100. The point 560 where the two lines cross is hence the value where the rectangular pipe equates to the circular pipe.
How to read Table 4 The point where the line of the circular duct diameter (leftward slanting line) and of the required air velocity (horizontal line) intersect is the pressure loss per 1 m of duct. The value of the slanted line to the lower right of the intersecting point is the average velocity.
(Outline of Table 4)
560mm Duct diameter
Average velocity 8 m/s
Resistance 1.17Pa/m

The figure obtained from Table 4 must then be corrected for duct type at various velocities. This can be done using Table 5 below. Table 5 Friction coefficient compensation table

An alternative, more detailed method for determining the pressure loss in duct work is as shown using the following formula: Circular pipe section pressure loss : Friction resistance coefficient (smooth pipe 0.025) C : Local loss coefficient (refer to Table 6) d : Duct diameter (m) : Duct length (m) R : Air weight (1.2 kg/m2) v : Wind velocity (m/s)

4. Sound
Sound is emitted when any object is excited causing it to vibrate. The object that vibrates is called the sound source, and the energy that is generated at the source is transmitted through the air to the human ear. Humans can hear the sound only when the ear drum vibrates.
4.1 Sound level and auditory perception

Sound level is the sound wave energy that passes through a unit area in a unit time, and is expressed in dB (decibel) units. The sound heard by the human ear differs according to the strength of the sound and the frequency, and the relation to the pure tone sound is as shown on the right. The vertical line shows the strength of the sound and the horizontal line shows the frequency. For frequencies between 20 Hz to 15,000 Hz which can be felt by the human ear, the strength of sound that can be felt that is equivalent to a 1,000 Hz sound is obtained for each frequency. The point where these points cross is the sound level curve, and a sound pressure level numerical value of 1,000 Hz is expressed. These are called units of phons. For example, the point on the 60 curve is perceived as 60 phons. On average, the human senses a sound that is less than 1,000 Hz as rather weak, and a sound between 2,000 to 5,000 Hz as strong.

4.2 How to measure sound levels

A sound level meter (JIS C 1502, IEC 651) is used to measure sound levels. This sound level meter has three characteristics (A, B and C characteristics) as shown on the right. These represent various sound wave characteristics. Generally, the A characteristic, which is the most similar to the human ear, is used.

4.3 Frequency analysis of sound

It is said that the human ear senses differently according to the frequency. However, the sound generated from a vibration is not limited to one frequency, but instead, various frequencies are generated at differing levels. This is expressed by the NC curve, which is determined according to the difficulty of hearing a conversation. Even if the sound is a very low level, it is annoying if a specific frequency is emitted very loudly. These sounds are suppressed to a minimum during product design stages, but, the sound may become very disturbing with resonance of the ceiling, wall, etc. Example Continuous frequency analysis NC curve

4.4 Indoor noise

(1) Principle of indoor noise
1) Power levels The Power level (PWL) of the sound source must be understood when considering noise effects. The following formula is used to obtain PWL from the measured sound pressure data (values noted in catalog) in an anechoic chamber. PWL = SPLo + 20 logro + 11 [dB]. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (I) PWL : Sound source power level (dB) SPLo : Measured sound pressure in anechoic chamber (dB) ro : Measurement distance (m) 2) Principal model Consider the room shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 1 shows an example of the integrated main unit and supply air diffuser (and return grille). This is equivalent to the cassette-type Lossnay. Fig. 2 shows an example of a separated main unit and supply air diffuser (and return grille). This is equivalent to the ceiling embedded-type Lossnay.

Item i in formula (II) is the direct sound ( , ), and ii is the echo sound ( , ). The number of sound sources in the room (main unit, supply air diffuser, return grille etc.) is obtained by calculating formula (II), and combining the number with formula (III). SPL = 10 log (10 SPL1/10 + 10 SPL2/10) ............................(III)
The average sound absorption rate in the room and the ceiling transmission loss differ according to the frequency, so formula (II) is calculated for each frequwncy band, and is combined with formula (III) for an accurate value.
(2) Avoiding noise disturbance from Lossnay unit

1) When unit air passage behind ceiling is sound source (Fig. 1 , , Fig. 2 1 to 3 , ) (A) Avoid the following types of construction when disturbing noise may be emitted from large units. (Refer to Fig. 4) a) Sudden contraction of duct diameter (Ex. 250 150, 200 100) b) Sudden curves in aluminum flexible ducts, etc. (Especially right after unit outlet) c) Opening in ceiling plates d) Suspension on weak material (B) The following countermeasures should be taken. (Refer to Fig. 5) a) Use ceiling material with high soundproofing properties (high transmission loss). (Care is required for low frequency components as the difference in material is great). b) Addition of soundproofing material to areas below sound source. (The entire surface must be covered when using soundproofing sheets. Note, that in some cases, covering of the area around the unit may not be possible due to the heat generated from the unit.)

2) When supply air diffuser (and return grille) is sound source ..... part 1 (A) If the main unit is separated from the supply air diffuser (and return grille) as shown in Fig. 6, the use of a silencer box a), silence duct b) or silence grille c) is recommended. Fig. 6
a) b) c)
(B) If a draft sound is being emitted from the supply air diffuser (and return grille), branch the flow as shown in Fig. 7 a), lower the flow velocity with a grille, and add a silencer duct to section b). (If the length is the same, a silencer duct with the small diameter is more effective.)

3) When supply air diffuser (and return grille) is sound source ..... part 2 (A) If the main unit and supply air diffuser (and return grille) are integrated as shown in Fig. 8, or if the measures taken in 2) a) and b) are inadequate, the interior material in the room can be changed to that having a high sound absorbency as shown in Fig. 8 a). This is not, however, very effective towards direct sounds. (B) Installing the sound source in the corner of the room as shown in Fig. 8 b) is effective towards the center of the room, but will be inadequate towards people in the corner of the room.

1. Lossnay Usage Conditions

Main unit installation conditions Commercial-use Lossnay Facility Lossnay LU model Lossnays -10C to +40C, RH80% or less -10C to +50C, RH80% or less Outdoor air and exhaust air conditions -10C to + 40C, RH80% or less. Same as left
In some cases special attention needs to be paid to extreme operating conditions. These are described as below:
1.1 Use in cold climates (outdoor temperature: 5C or less)

Plot the Lossnay intake air conditions A and B on a psychrometric chart as shown on the right. If the high temperature side air B intersects the saturation curve such as at C, moisture condensation or frosting will occur on the Lossnay. In this case, the low temperature side air A should be preheated to the temperature indicated by point A so that point C shifts to the point C. The LGH-RX4 type has a built-in preheater control circuit. For more information about heater model selection and wiring method, please refer to the Control volume (Technical manual (Controls) page 40).
Sa tur ati on cu rve
C A A
1.2 Use in high humidity conditions (Relative humidity: 80% or more)

When using the system in high humidity conditions such as heated pools, bathrooms, mushroom cultivation houses, etc., moisture will condense inside the Core, and drainage will occur. In these cases, the general purpose Lossnay that uses treated paper cannot be used. Instead the moisture resistant Lossnay must be used. The following moisture resistant Lossnay models are available. The usage conditions differ so select the model according to the application.
1.3 Use in other special conditions
Avoid using Lossnay under air condition with acid, alkalis, organic solvent, oil mist, paint, or harmful gas as presticide, corrosive gas, etc. Rust, fire or malfunction may occur by brine and hotspring steam. Installing Brine Damage Resistant Filters inside outdoor air duct if the Lossnay operates in the briny air. Outdoor air or mist may flow through the duct into your room when Lossnay is in off-mode at windy and foggy area. To prevent sucking of outdoor air or fog, electric damper is advised to be installed. Use where heat is recovered from odor-laid air and supplied to another place (area) is not possible.
58
2. Lossnay LGH series noise level

The noise level specified for Lossnay units is as that measured in an anechoic chamber. The sound level may increase by 8 to 11 dB according to the installation construction material, and room contents, by noise reflection. When using the Lossnay in a quiet room, it is recommended that measures such as installing a muffling duct be carried out.
3. Attachment of Air Filter

An air filter must be mounted to the air inlets (both intake and exhaust) of the Lossnay to clean the air and to prevent the Core from clogging. Always mount this filter, and periodically service it.
4. Duct Construction

Always cover the two ducts on the outdoor side (outdoor air intake and exhaust outlet) with insulation to prevent frost or condensation. The outdoor duct gradient must be 3.3% or more (to wall side) to prevent rain water from rain water running towards the Lossnay. (Refer to page 86). Do not use the standard vent caps or round hoods where they may come into direct contact with rain water. (Instead, use of a deep hood is recommended.)
5. By-pass Ventilation
Do not operate with By-pass ventilation when heating during winter. Frost or condensation may form on the main unit and cause discolouring of the ceiling, etc.

Note: 1. Water soluble gases and mists cannot be used because the amount that is transmitted with the water is too great. 2. Acidic gases and mists cannot be used because these will accumulate in the Core and cause damage. 3. The above does not apply to the moisture resistant total heat recovery unit.
61
8. Positioning of the Supply/Exhaust Fans and the Air Transmission Rate (excluding moisture resistant total heat recovery units) (only for LU type)
The following four methods can be used for when setting the Lossnay supply and exhaust fans around the Lossnay Core. When using the LU models, methods a or b should be used in respect of both the Lossnay Core air leakage and effective air ventilation. Use method c if air leakage to the RA or SA sides is not allowed such as in hospital air conditioning, or transmission of the fan noise into the room must be suppressed by putting the Lossnay Core between the supply/exhaust fans and room, and if a certain degree of air leakage is allowed between OA to EA. a.

If the static pressure difference between SA and RA and between EA and OA is 50mmAq, the air leakage rate will be 2.5%, and 3.4%. This value is of no problem for most standard uses. c. Installing the supply fan (OA-SA) for force feed and the exhaust fan (RA-EA) for suction feed

In this case, the positive/negative relation of the static pressure will be the reverse of that in system d, and the air leakage outside the room (leakage from OA to EA) will be the same as system d. Thus, the effective volume of ventilating air will be reduced by that rate.
In this case, the intake side pressure (OA-SA) will be negative, and the exhaust side pressure (RA-EA) will be positive, so the amount of air leakage to the intake side will be the greatest. If the static pressure difference between OA and RA is 50 mmAq, the air leakage rate will be 10.5%, and 13.0%. This system can be used when an air leakage of 10% to the intake side (OA-SA) is permitted, but should be avoided in all other cases.

10. Automatic Ventilation Switching (Refer to technical manual (Control) page 38)
Effect of Automatic Ventilation Mode
The automatic damper mode automatically provides the correct ventilation for the conditions in the room. It eliminates the need for troublesome switch operations when setting the Lossnay ventilator to By-pass ventilation. The following shows the effect By-pass ventilation will have under various conditions.
(1) Reduces cooling load

If the air outside is cooler than the air inside the building during the cooling season (such as early morning or at night), By-pass ventilation will draw in the cooler outside air and reduce the cooling load on the system.
(2) Cooling using outdoor air

During cooler seasons (such as between spring and summer or between summer and fall), if the people in a room cause the temperature of the room to rise, By-pass ventilation draw in the cool outside air and use it as is to cool the room.
(3) Night purge

By-pass ventilation can be used to release hot air from inside the building that has accumulated in buildings a business district during the hot summer season.
(4) Office equipment room cooling

During cold season, outdoor air can be drawn in and used as is to cool rooms where the temperature has risen due to the use of office equipment. (Only when interlocked with City Multi and Mr. Slim indoor unit)

(Precautions) When constructing for vertical installation, make sure that rain water will not enter the Lossnay unit from outdoors. Always transport the unit in the specified state. Vertical installation applies only to after installation, and does not apply to transportation. (The motor may be damaged if the unit is transported vertically.)
11.3 Slanted installation

Slanted installation is not possible. Special note The LGH-RX4 model was conventionally designed for being embedded in the ceiling. If possible, vertical installation should be avoided in regard to construction and maintenance.

12. Installation of Supplementary Fan Devices After Lossnay Unit

On occasions it may be necessary to install additional fans in the ductwork following the LGH type Lossnay. This is because of the inclusion of extra components such as control dampers, high-efficiency filters, sound attenuators, etc. which create a significant extra static pressure to the airflow. An example of such an installation is as shown below.

Lossnay ventilation systems are proposed for eight types of applications in this chapter. These systems are planned for Japanese use, and actual systems will differ according to each country. These should be used only as reference.
1. Large Office Building

1.1 System plan points
Conventional central systems in large buildings, run in floor and building ducts, have generally been preferred to individual room units. Thus, air conditioning and ventilation after working hours was not possible. In this plan, an independent dispersed ventilation method has been applied to resolve this problem. Such a systems main advantage is that it allows 24-hour operation. A package-type air conditioning unit is installed in the ceiling, and ventilation is performed with the ceiling-embedded-type Lossnay. Ventilation in the toilet, kitchenette and lift halls, etc., is performed with a straight centrifugal fan. Setting outline Building form

1.2 Current topics

(1) Operation system that answers individual needs is required. Free independent operation system Simple control (2) Effective use of floor space (elimination of machine room) (3) Application to Building Management Laws Effective humidification Elimination of indoor dust (4) Energy conservation
Installation state of office system air conditioning system The air supplied from the Lossnay is introduced into the intake side of the air conditioner, and the room stale air is directly removed from the inside of the ceiling.

(2) Ventilation
For general offices, a ceiling embedded-type Lossnay will be installed in the ceiling. The inside of the ceiling will be used as a return chamber for exhaust, and the air from the Lossnay will be supplied to the air-conditioning return duct and mixed with the air in the air conditioning passage. (Exhaust air is taken in from the entire area, and supply air is introduced into the air conditioner to increase the ventilation effectiveness for large rooms.) For board rooms, conference rooms and salons, a ceiling embedded-type Lossnay will be installed in the ceiling. The stale air will be duct exhausted from the discharge grille installed in the centre of the ceiling. The supply air will be discharged into the ceiling, where after mixing with the return air from the air conditioner it is supplied to the air conditioner. The air in the toilet, kitchenette, and lift hall, etc., will be exhausted with a straight centrifugal fan in each room. The OA supply for this section will use the air supplied from the Lossnay. (The OA volume will be obtained by setting the Lossnay supply fan in the general office to the extra-high notch.) Installation state of air conditioning system for board rooms, conference rooms, salons - the air supplied from the Lossnay is blown into the ceiling, and the stale air is removed from the discharge grille.

(3) Humidification
If the load fluctuation of the required humidification amount is proportional to the ventilation volume, it is ideal to combine the humidifier installation with the ventilation system. For this application, the humidifier is installed on with the air supply side of the Lossnay.
(4) Conformation to Building Laws

The most important consideration here is humidification and dust removal; in these terms, it is recommended that a humidifier is added to the air conditioning system for the office system to allow adequate humidification. Installation of a filter on each air circulation system in the room is effective for dust removal, but if the outdoor air inlet is near the dust source, such as a road, a filter should also be installed on the ventilation system.
1.4 Effect
(1) Air conditioning and ventilation needs can be met on an individual basis. (2) Operation is possible with a 24-hour system. (3) Operation is simple with the switches being in the room. (A controller is not required.) (4) Floor space is saved and thus the floor can be used to the maximum. (5) Energy is conserved with the independent heat recovery. (6) Fresh air air-conditioning is possible with the independent system.
2. Medium Size Office Building

2.1 System plan point
In recent building air conditioning systems, demands for a consistent rationalization from design through operation and control aspects are being made to meet diversified building needs. In the entire air conditioning facility, either the cooling/heating source equipment or specific air conditioning equipment is considered as being only one element. Thus, it is important to design this element so that it covers the users needs while providing total amenity. This air conditioning system plan is for a so-called company building that is largely divided into the general office section (hereinafter referred to as general floors) and special room sections including board rooms and conference rooms (hereinafter referred to as special floors). Furthermore, Building Management Laws are applied to the building due to the scale.

2.2 Current topics

For general office buildings of the past, centralized air conditioning methods allowing the total centralized control and systematization of the entire building (or divided into floor systems) were favoured due mainly to facility control, uniformity of operation hours, maintenance efficiency and building usage. However, when additional work was required to be done on these systems problems occurred. A comparison of the following items in each system is shown in Table 1.

2.3 Proposed details

A) General floors An independent dispersed-type control system incorporating an air cooling heat pump chiller and cassette-type fan coil unit for cooling and heating is used. This can cater for load fluctuations resulting from increases in office automation systems or changes in partitions hence requiting independent control of each module zone (approx. 70 m2). Outdoor-Air Processing unit is used for ventilation and humidification, and construction and space is reduced by using a system ceiling and ceiling chamber method. (Table 1 B system) B) Special floors City Multi and Outdoor-Air Processing unit are applied as package-type independent units, located so as to conform with lighting fixtures, air outlets and suction inlets in rooms where the interior is important while ensuring the required airconditioning quality.

2.4 Effect
(1) Individual control is possible
Individually dispersed air conditioning that creates a comfortable environment according to general floor and special floor needs is realised.
(2) Energy conservation

Wasted air conditioning energy is eliminated allowing great reduction in operation costs.
(3) Space saving

The Outdoor-Air Processing unit, fan coil unit and building air conditioner are all ceiling embedded-types, so the back of the ceiling is used effectively, saving machine room space and floor space.

(5) Simple architecture layout

Machine room space and main duct space for air conditioning are not required, so limits in the layout are reduced. Compaarison with conventional air conditioning system

2.5 System trends

Creation of an environment including independence, management and control of each zone can be realised as work trends become more diversified. Simultaneous cooling/heating system due to necessity from increased fixed sash windows and increase in office automation systems. Attention is being paid to building management methods which manage not only air conditioning systems for several buildings at one location but also manage other information.
3. Multipurpose Tenant Building

In many business district buildings, use of the lower floors for shops, halls and theatres, etc., and the middle and upper floors for offices and tenants is often seen. An air conditioning and ventilation system using a per floor method with each floor as a tenant unit is proposed in this example. Setting outline Application Building form Total floor space Application per floor : : : : Business (lower floors), office tenants (mid- to upper floors) SRC (Slab Reinforced Concrete) 6,334 m2 (B1 to 8F) B1: Storage, machine room GF, 1F : Bank 2F, 3F : Theatre, concert hall 4F to 8F : Tenant offices : Machine room installation-type package air conditioner, ceiling suspended cassette-type air conditioner : Building Lossnay, ceiling suspended cassette-type Lossnay, straight centrifugal fan

3.2 Current topics

(1) The operation times of the lower floors and that in the mid- to upper floors differ. (Efficiency and adaptability is required in control and operation aspects.) (2) Maintainability is poor when the system is too dispersed. (3) Handling of needs in tenant units is poor when the system is too concentrated. (4) When a centralized heat source system is applied, a maximum load adaptability and maintenance control system is required. (5) When ventilation is too dispersed, designing of the outer wall becomes a problem.

3.3 Plan details

(1) Lower floors for business
A machine room installation-type package and building Lossnay is applied as a centralized method for each unit. (One system for ground and 1st floor banking institution, one system for 2nd and 3rd floor hall.)
4F to 8F: Tenant offices Lossnay installation sites: machine room on each floor To reduce installation space, a package-type LP Lossnay with built-in air-supply fan and filter is incorporated and combined with the air conditioner in the machine room on each floor.
(2) Mid- to upper floors for office tenants

As an air conditioning system for each floor unit, a package air conditioner and Lossnay LP is combined in the machine room to handle the interior load and ventilation, and a ceiling suspended cassette-type package to handle the perimeter. The toilet and kitchenette are ventilated with a straight centrifugal fan on each floor, and supply for the outdoor air is provided to the LP Lossnay air supply. This allows independent operation and control for each floor.

3.4 Effect
(1) Management in tenant units is clear and simple. (2) Maintenance is simple as the maximum centralization can be planned while having independent tenants. (3) As ventilation units are considered per floor, there are few openings on the outer wall, making designing of the outer wall more simple. (4) Outdoor air cooling is possible while ventilating.

4. Urban Small-Scale Building

This system is based on effectively using available space within a limited area by installing the air conditioner and ventilator in available excess space. For this application, the air flow must be considered for the entire floor with the ventilator installed in the ceiling space.

4.2 Current topics

(1) Three sides of the building are surrounded by other buildings, and windows cannot be installed. (Dependency on mechanical ventilation is high.) (2) Ample fresh outdoor air cannot be supplied. (Generally, only Class 3 ventilation (forced exhaust) is possible.) (3) If the exhaust in the room is large, odors from the toilet, etc., flow into the room.

(An adequate exhaust volume can be obtained by taking in outdoor air, with the toilet being ventilated constantly.)
Position of air intake/exhaust air outlets on outer wall The freshness of the outdoor air taken in by the Lossnay is important, thus considering that the building is surrounded by other buildings, the intake and exhaust ports must be separated as far as possible.
77
4.4 Effect
(1) Accurate ventilation is possible with Class 1 ventilation (forced simultaneous air intake/exhaust) using the Lossnay. (2) Outdoor air supply to the toilet and kitchenette is possible with the Lossnay, and accurate ventilation is possible even in highly sealed buildings. (3) Flow of odors can be prevented with constant ventilation using an adequate ventilation volume. (4) Humidification is possible by adding a simple humidifying unit to the Lossnay.
5. Hospitals
The principle of ventilation in hospitals requires adequate exhausting from the generation site and ensuring a supply of ample fresh air. An appropriate system would be an independent ventilation system with Class 1 ventilation (forced simultaneous air intake/exhaust). The fan coil and package air conditioning are used according to material and place, and the air conditioned room is ventilated with the ceiling embedded-type Lossnay. The toilet and kitchenette, etc., are ventilated with a straight centrifugal fan.

5.4 Effect
(1) The following is possible by independently ventilating the air-conditioned rooms with the Lossnay: Transmission of diseases can be prevented by shielding the air between rooms. Infiltration of outside noise can be prevented with the Lossnay Cores soundproof properties. As outdoor air does not need to be taken in from the hallway, the door can be sealed, shutting out hallway noise. Humidification is possible by adding a humidifier. (2) By exhausting the toilet, etc., and supplying outdoor air to the hallway: Flowing of odors to other rooms can be prevented.
6. Schools
A comfortable environment in classrooms is necessary to improve the children and students desire to study. Schools near airports, railroads and highways have sealed structures to soundproof the building, and thus air conditioning and ventilation facilities are required. This is also true for schools in polluted areas such as industrial districts. At university facilities which have a centralized design to efficiently use land and to improve the building functions, the room environment must also be maintained with air conditioning.
6.2 Current system details and problem points

(1) Mainly single duct methods, fan coil unit methods, or package methods are used for cooling/heating, but the diffusion rate is still low, and water-based heaters are still the main source of heating. (2) The single duct method is difficult to control according to the usage state, and there are problems in running costs. (3) Rooms are often ventilated by opening the windows or using a ventilation gallery, where although this provides ample ventilation volume it may create a problem of infiltration of outside noise.

6.6 System trends

(1) It is believed that environmental needs at schools will continue to progress towards high quality, and various factors such as temperature/humidity, noise, natural lighting, and colour must be considered at the design stages. Important topics are air conditioning, ventilation and soundproofing. (2) Independent heating using a centralized control method is mainly applied when the air conditioner is for heating only. For cooling/heating, a combination of a fan coil method and package-type is the main method used. (3) Highly accurate Class 1 ventilation is applied for the ventilation method, and the total heat recovery unit is mainly used in consideration of the energy saved during air conditioning and the high soundproofing properties.

7. Hotels (convention halls, wedding halls)

Hotels in Japan often have functions such as a resort hotel at tourist spots, convention hotel with conference and banquet halls, and business hotels for short-term stays. These are all labeled as hotels, and often, more importance is laid on the wedding, convention and banquet halls, etc. This is because air conditioning systems in these places must have a ventilation treatment system that can handle extremely large fluctuations in loads, tobacco smoke and removal of odors.
7.2 Current systems and problem points

CO and CO2 permissible values, removal of odors, and tobacco smoke are often considered as standards for ventilation and often the ventilation is set at 30 m3/hperson to 35 m3/hperson. Several outdoor air introduction-type package air conditioners or air handling unit facilities are often used, but, these are greatly affected by differences in capacity, ratio of smokers and length of stay.
7.3 Plan details

This proposed plan has two examples with the use of a Lossnay as a ventilator for total heat recovery in the air conditioned conference room, and the use of several outdoor air type package air-conditioners for convention and banquet halls. A) Conference room Heat recovery ventilation is executed with constant use of the Lossnay unit, but when the number of persons increases suddenly and the CO2 concentration reaches a set level (for example, 1,000 ppm in the Building Management Law), a separate centrifugal fan operates automatically. This system can also be operated manually to rapidly remove smoke and odors. B) Convention and banquet halls Basically, this system is composed of several outdoor air introduction-type package air conditioners and straight centrifugal fans for ventilation. However, an inverter controller is connected to the centrifugal fan so that it is constantly at 50 percent of the operation state, allowing fluctuations in ventilation loads to be handled. By interlocking with several package air-conditioners, detailed handling of following up the air condition loads in addition to the ventilation volume is possible. Systems using Lossnay are also possible.

7.4 System trends

The load characteristics at hotels is complex compared to general buildings, and are greatly affected by the bearing, time, and operation state as mentioned above. Further to this, the high ceilings in meeting rooms and banquet halls, requires preheating and precooling to be considered. Further research on management and control systems and product development will be required in the future to pursue even further comfortable control within these spaces.
8. Public Halls (combination facilities such as day-care centres)

Air conditioning and ventilation facilities for buildings located near airports and military bases, etc., that require soundproofing, have conventionally been of the centralized method. However, independent dispersed air conditioning and ventilation has been demanded due to the need for operation in zones, as well as for energy conservation purposes. This system is a plan for these types of buildings. Setting outline Building form Application

8.2 Conventional system and topics

(1) Conventional systems have used centralized methods with air handling units, and air conditioning and ventilation were generally performed together. (2) Topics 1) Special knowledge is required for operation, and there are problems in response to the users needs. 2) When the centralised method is used, the air even in rooms that are not being used is conditioned, increasing running costs unnecessarily. 3) Machine room space is necessary. 4) Duct space is necessary.

1. Necessity of Filters
Clean air is necessary for humans to live a comfortable and healthy life. Besides atmospheric pollution that has been generated with the development of modern industries and the growth in the use of automobiles, air pollution in air-tight room has progressed to the point where it adversely affects the human body, and is now a major problem. Hay fever is now a symptom often seen in the spring and demands for preventing pollen from entering rooms are increasing.

5. Calculation of Dust Concentration

An air conditioning system using the Lossnay is shown below. Using this diagram the level of dust concentration can be easily determined. Dust concentration study diagram
High-efficiency filter o Indoor unit
Lossnay unit Indoor unit filter i
o : Filtering efficiency of humidifier with high efficiency filter % Qo : Outdoor air intake amount (m3/h) (colorimetric method) Qi : Indoor unit air volume (Total air volume of indoor unit) (m3/h) i : Filtering efficiency of filter for indoor unit % (colorimetric method)
Co : Outdoor air dust concentration (mg/m3) Ci : Indoor dust concentration (mg/m3) G : Amount of dust generated indoors (mg/h)
In this type of system, when the performance of each machine is known, the indoor dust concentration Ci may be obtained with the filtering performance of the filters, o and i, having been set to specific values as per manufacturer's data. The following formula is used: Ci = G + Co Qo (1 o) Qo + Qi i
Also, with the value of Ci and ho known, the efficiency of the indoor unit can be found using: i = G + Co Qo (1 o) Ci Qo 100 Ci Qi
6. Certificate in EU

[Calculation example]
The indoor dust concentration for the following types of design conditions with the above system shall be used in the following example. Outline of air conditioning
Air conditioning area 100 m2 (Office) No. of persons in room 20 persons 25 m3/h Outdoor air intake volume per person 20 persons = 500 m3/h Cooling capacity 15,700 W Heating capacity 13,374 W

with high LGH-50RX4 + PZ-50RFM efficiency filter (with high efficiency filter) Model Fan coil unit LH-600CR-B3F (with high efficiency filter) 2 units
Filtering efficiency 65% (colorimetric method)
Calculation Intake volume Indoor unit air volume Filtering efficiency of humidifier with high efficiency filter Filtering efficiency of filter for inside unit Outdoor air floating dust concentration Amount of dust generated in room Qo = 500 m3/h Qi = 17 2 60 = 2,040 m3/h o = 65% (o = 91% Particle diameter 2.1 m*) i = 65% (i = 57% Particle diameter 0.72 m*) Co = 0.1 mg/m3 G = amount of dust generated per person no. of persons in room = 10 mg/hperson 20 persons = 200 mg/h
If the inside dust concentration Ci is found with the above, the following data is obtained: Ci = 200 + 0.1 500 (1 0.65) 500 + 2,040 0.65 0.12 mg/m3 ( 0.123 mg/m3*)
The result is less than the dust concentration limit of 0.15 mg/m3 set by the Building Standard Law of Japan. If the filtering efficiency of a filter for the indoor unit is obtained to set the inside dust concentration Ci to 0.15 mg/m3, the following is obtained: i =
200 + 0.1 500 (1 0.65) 0.15 500 0.15 2,040

47% (
42%*)
This shows that the filtering efficiency of the indoor unit filter must be a minimum of 47% (colorimetric method). * The result of a calculation using an average outdoor airborne particle diameter of 2.1 m and an average indoor airborne particle diameter of 0.72 m is shown.

1. Service Life
The Lossnay Core has no moving parts. This stationary design eliminates vibration troubles and also permits greater installation flexibility. In addition, chemicals are not used in the heat recovery system. Performance characteristics remain constant throughout the period of service. A lifetime test, currently in progress and so far reaching 17,300 hours, has revealed no evidence of either reduction in heat recovery efficiency or deterioration of materials. If 2,500 hours is taken as the number of hours a conditioner is used during a year, 17,300 hours corresponds to about seven (7) years. (This explanation is not a guarantee of the service life of the product.)
2. Cleaning the Lossnay Core and Pre-filter

The Lossnay Core should be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner at least once every 2 years. This will remove the dust that has accumulated at the surface and restore the functioning of the core to 98 to 100% of the original figure. A brush should not be used for cleaning because it may trap the dust in the core resulting in clogging. The air filter on the intake side of the Lossnay Core should be cleaned at least once every year. After cleaning, reinstall the filter immediately. Do NOT wash in water.

Question
Answer There is no problem with the life of the paper unless it is intentionally damaged, directly placed in water or in direct sunlight (ultra-violet rays). The life is longer than metal as it does not rust. It can be used for a minimum of ten years.
Remarks Depending on how it is stored, paper can be stored for up to 2,000 years without deteriorating, such as documents in temples and churches.
Paper is used for the material, but is the life adequate?
Is paper not an insulation material? (Poor conductor of heat)
Paper is very thin, and thus the conductivity of the material is low, with heat being transferred approximately the same as with metal. Test this by placing a piece of paper between your hands and you will feel the warmth of your palms. The recovery of humidity can also be felt by blowing on the paper and feeling the moisture in your breath transfer to your palm. Maybe you have seen the phenomenon during heating in winter where the window pane is wet but the paper blinds are dry. This is because the humidity is transferred through the paper membrane. The Lossnay is kept dry by employing this same principle. When a building is sealed and normal ventilation is used, accurate exhaust is not possible unless a suction inlet is created. The Lossnay has both an air-supply fan and air-exhaust fan so Class 1 ventilation is possible. For an example, in an approx. 13 m2 room with five people, a ventilation volume of 100 m3/h is required. The amount of power consumed in this case is approximately 45 W, and the amount of heat recovered during cooling is approximately 700 W or more. The coefficient of performance (C.O.P.) obtained when converted with the unit power generation amount is 16. In consideration that the popular heat pump-type has a C.O.P. of 2 to 3, the Lossnay is a high energy conserving machine. If a general-purpose ventilator is installed, the cooled air will be lost, thus increasing electrical costs throughout the year.
If paper can recover humidity, will it not become wet?
When is the forced simultaneous air intake/ exhaust-type more efficient?
What are the energy conservation properties of the Lossnay?
106
Question
Answer Between 55 to 60% of the heat energy that escapes with ventilation is recovered by the Lossnay, so the cooling/heating cost can be reduced by approximately 43,000 yen per year. The initial costs can be suppressed down to a 59,000 yen increase when comparing the air conditioner, Lossnay, and ventilator (fixed- price base). Calculation conditions Cooling: Room temperature/humidity 26C, 50% Outdoor air temperature/humidity 32C, 70% Heating: Room temperature/humidity 20C, 50% Outdoor air temperature/humidity 0C, 50% Building: General office facing south on middle floor 100 m2 Cooling load (room) 104 W/m2 Heating load (room) 77.7 W/m2 Ventilation volume: 500 m3/h Without Lossnay:Straight lock fan BFS-50SU . . . . . . . . . . 2 units With Lossnay:Lossnay LGH-50RX4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 unit Cooling/heating load (W): Without Lossnay Room Outdoors Cooling Heating 10400 7770 5560 5630 Total 15960 13400 With Lossnay Room Outdoors 10400 7770 2340 2140 Total 12740 9910
Remarks There are also "savings in maintenance cost", "ventilation functions", "soundproofing effects" as well as "comfort" and "safety" which are not visible.
What are the economical factors? (This is for Japan)

Thus, if the leakage rate of odors is 7% (hydrogen sulphide), this will be: 100 30% 1/3 7% = 0.7%. Thus, no problem is seen in terms of total air conditioned air volume. However, exhaust is usually performed with a separate system. In the case of ammonia, the rate is 2.8% using the same formula. Note: (The rotary-type has approximately the same transmission rate, but for ammonia, the transmission rate is 50% or more than the Lossnay heat recovery method.) <Gas/smoke transmission rate> CO : 1% CO2 : 2% H2S : 3% : 3% NH3 Smoke : 1% - 2% <Conditions> (Supply and exhaust fans installed for suction feed. Standard treatment air volume.)
If the air ventilated from the toilet is heat recovered, will the odors be transferred to other rooms?
107
Question
Answer
Remarks
According to the results obtained from the test performed by the Tokyo University Hospital (Inspection Centre, Prof. Kihachiro Shimizu), as the supply air and exhaust air pass through different passages, transmission Can the Lossnay be used of bacteria from exhaust side to supply side is low. They found: for hospital air conditioning? 1) Bacteria does not propagate in the Lossnay Core. 2) Even if bacteria accumulated in the Lossnay, it died off in approximately two weeks. Normally, the original state of the filter can be regained by cleaning it more than once every one year, and the two intake side surfaces of the Lossnay Core more than once two years with a vacuum cleaner. Dust will not adhere in the passage due to the laminar flow if the air is normal. Normal air refers to air that does not contain oil mist, etc. When exhausting air containing oil mist, etc., install a filter at return grille to remove the oil mist.
Since the entry to the Lossnay Core is fine and the incident air turbulent, wont it clog easily?

For using LU type, if the static pressure difference between SA and RA and between EA and OA is 500 Pa, the air leakage rate will be 2.5%, and 3.4%. This value is considered to be of no problem for actual use. However, the single suction or single forced methods will have a leakage rate of 10% or higher and should be avoided. If the winter room air temperature is above 20C along with the humidity above 50%, and the outdoor temperature is -10C or lower, moisture condensation or frosting will occur on the Lossnay Core. In this case, the intake air must be preheated. Plot the Lossnay intake side air conditions A and B on a psychrometric chart as shown below. If the high temperature side air B intersects the saturation curve such as at C, moisture condensation or frosting will occur on the Lossnay. In this case, the air should be preheated to the Can the Lossnay be used in temperature indicated by point A so that point C reaches the C point. 11 extreme cold climates (-10C or lower)?

Tobacco smoke tends to stick to dust in the air, and when it passes Ample filtering will not through the Lossnay Core, most of the nicotine and tar will be filtered by be possible with a saran net air filter. Will tobacco nicotine and tar the air filter. 12 However, in very smoky places (ex. pachinko parlour), or when used for a affect the Lossnay Core? long period, the tobacco odor will accumulate and move to the intake side. In this case, the Core and filter should be replaced. According to the The Building Standard Law of Japan, a ventilation volume of 20 m3/h. Person is required if the windows cannot be opened for ventilation. In buildings to which the Law for Maintenance of Sanitation in Buildings is applied, the carbon gas concentration must be 0.1% or less, so a ventilation of 34 m3/h Person is required. In Tokyo, the guideline is set at 25 to 30 m3/h. The required ventilation volume per person is noted below.

Question
Answer The Lossnay uses the forced simultaneous supply/exhaust method so the insufficient ventilation found in standard ventilators with no air intake is not found. Caution (1) The fresh air supplied to the room should not short circulate being drawn back into the return grille. It should flow through the entire room.

(2) The relation of the supply and suction flows of the air conditioner must be also considered. What is the short circulation 16 of the air intake/exhaust air outlet?
Supply grille Air conditioner Exhaust grille Air conditioner Exhaust grille Supply grille
The air intake/exhaust grille on the outer wall is in the open and so there is a natural wind, with the result that short circulation will not occur easily. However, if the wind blows from the exhaust grille towards the intake grille, short circulation may occur, so these should be placed as far apart as possible.

Delayed Interlocked Operation (PZ-41SLB-E, M-NET)
(1) It is possible to delay operation of the Lossnay with respect to the operation of the external device. (Energy saving effect.) (2) The times that can be set for delayed operation are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes. (3) Delayed operation does not occur if the Lossnay operation was cancelled within the last 2 hours. (If turned off for a short time, for example during a lunch break, if the direction to restart operation is given within 2 hours, the Lossnay will restart immediately.) (4) If an operation button is pressed on the remote controller while the delay timer is operating, the delayed operation is cancelled and normal operation begins.

Multiple Lossnay Units in Interlocked Operation with One Indoor Unit. (M-NET only)
[Example: System 1]
Set the Main/Sub switch of the Lossnay connected to the M-NET transmission cable to Main, set the second and following Lossnay units to Sub, and connect TM4 of the Lossnay remote controllers (PZ-41SLB-E) transmission cable terminal to the corresponding point on the next unit. (Refer to page 66)
Indoor unit TM4 MA remote controller Lossnay (Main) Lossnay (Sub) Lossnay (Sub) TM4 TM4
(One Point Advice)

Register the first Lossnay unit and the indoor unit to be interlocked. It is not necessary to set the address or direct control for the second or following Lossnay units. Malfunctions of the Lossnay units after the second unit will not appear on the remote controller.
[Example: System 2]
When you want to also manage the abnormalities of the Sub set Lossnays by a system controller. Wire all the TM4 of Lossnays, make the main/sub switch of the Lossnay of the youngest address into the Main, and make other Lossnays setup at Sub. From a system controller, carry out group registration of an indoor unit and Lossnays, respectively, and perform a interlocking setup with an indoor unit and a Lossnay of the youngest address in a group.

6. Precautions When Designing Systems of M-NET

6.1 Power Supply of the M-NET Transmission Cable
On an M-NET system, the remote controller or central controller operate on power received from the transmission cable. Accordingly, there is need to provide power to the transmission cable. There are two systems for supplying power. The central system is supplied by a power supply unit. The indoor unit system is supplied by a outdoor unit. The Lossnay and the Lossnay remote controller can be connected to either system.
The central system M-MET System controller 12V DC Outdoor unit TB7 TB3 Indoor unit transmission cable The indoor unit system
Power supply unit Central controller transmission cable Lossnay Lossnay remote controller (PZ-52SF-E) MA remote controller Indoor unit Lossnay
6.2
Restrictions When the Lossnay Units are Connected to the Central Controller M-NET Transmission Cable.
Due to the limited capacity of the power supply unit, the number of Lossnay remote controllers is restricted when the Lossnay M-NET remote controllers and Lossnay units are connected to the central controller transmission cable. This does not apply to Lossnay units and G-50A that do not receive power from the central controller transmission cable. Central controller Model Number of Lossnay MNET remote controllers that can be connected. Power supply unit PAC-SC50KUA Transmisson Booster PAC-SF46EPA Non Max. 24 units Max. 50 units PAC-SF44SRA 1 unit Max. 22 units Max. 48 units PAC-YT40ANRA 1 unit Max. 20 units Max. 46 units

In the case that a greater number of Lossnay remote controllers than that shown above is connected due to the use of a power supply unit (PAC-SC50KUA), a transmission booster (PAC-SF46EPA) becomes necessary. Transmission Booster (PAC-SF46EPA) can be used without a power supply unit (PAC-SC50KUA) if TB2 (OUTDOOR UNIT SIDE) is opened, and the M-NET transmission cable is connected to TB3 (ADDITIONAL INDOOR UNIT SIDE).

Power Supply to the Indoor Unit Transmission Cable.
In principle, the number of indoor units ME remote controllers and Lossnay M-NET remote controllers that can be connected to one outdoor unit will depend on the type of outdoor unit. The following are the general guidelines when connecting multiple indoor units and Lossnay units to an outdoor unit. Indoor units + Remote controllers (Simple remote controllers) + Lossnay M-NET remote controllers * MA remote controllers and Lossnay units are Not counted. 35

7. Cable Installation of the M-NET

7.1 Precautions When Installing Wiring.
1. When routing transmission cable outside of the unit, position it 5 cm or more away cable for the power supply so that it will not pick up electrical noise. (Never use multicore cable or place the transmission cable in the same conduit as the power supply cable.) 2. Never connect the power cable to the terminal block for the transmission cable. This erroneous connection will burn out the circuit board. 3. Always use 2-core cable for the transmission cable. Routing this transmission cable with the transmission cable from another system on the same multi-core cable will result in erroneous sending and receiving of signals which will cause misoperation. 4. Never wire a transmission cable in the shape of a loop. Reception of a transmission signal becomes impossible.

Please:
Always install the ground cable for the transmission cables in the following way. Route the central control system through the power supply unit. Route the indoor unit system through the ground terminal on the outdoor unit. If the cable length (o) for the remote controller exceeds 10 m, use 0.75 mm2, change the section exceeding 10 m to the cable having a cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm2 to 2.0 mm2. Add the exceeding section within the maximum power supply cable length restriction of 200 m and the maximum distance between ends restriction of 500 m. If the cable exceeds the maximum cable length and overall extended length, voltage will drop and cause malfunctioning.

Precautions When Performing Group Settings (when not interlocked with City Multi indoor unit)
The maximum number of Lossnay units in one group is 16. (Refer to page 15.) When two remote controllers are used within the same group, set one remote controller as the master (address 101 to 150) and the other as the slave (address 151 to 200). (Refer to page 14.) Group settings: 1 Perform group settings at the System Controller when being used. If 2 or more System Controllers are being used in combination, perform them at the host one. (Refer to page 86.) 2 If a System Controller is not being used, use the Lossnay remote controller to perform the settings. (Refer to page 83.)
Precautions
1 2 3
4 5 6 7
Do not set air conditioners and Lossnay units in the same group. If these units are set to the same group, the indoor unit or Lossnay will not operate. Turn on the power source for the Lossnay when performing group settings. If the group settings are performed by MELANS, be sure to also set the address for the Lossnay remote controllers to the group setting. If the remote controller address is not registered, H0 remains displayed and the system does not start up. No more than three Lossnay remote controllers can be set to the same group in a system using a System Controller.
8.3
Precautions When Performing Interlock Settings (when interlocked with City Multi indoor unit)
The maximum number of indoor units that can be interlocked is 16. (Refer to page 17.) 1 Lossnay can be interlocked with an indoor unit. (Refer to page 17.) Interlock settings: 1 Perform interlock settings at the System Controller when being used. If 2 or more System Controllers in combination, perform them at the host one. (Refer to page 86.) 2 When MA or ME remote controllers are being used except above 1: Use the MA or ME remote controller for the interlock settings. (If 1 or 2 do not apply, interlock settings cannot be made.) Do not register the Lossnay units to the other Lossnays group. In this case, the Lossnay units arent interlocked to the other Lossnays group. When performing the settings using a MA or ME remote controller, always set for interlocked operation to the smallest address indoor unit in a group. If the setting is not made in this manner, the message This function is not available will appear when operating the ventilation button and interlocking with the Lossnay unit will not be possible. Turn on the power source for the Lossnay when performing interlock settings.

9. Automatic Ventilation Switching

9.1 Effect of Automatic Ventilation Mode
The automatic damper mode automatically provides the correct ventilation for the conditions in the room. It eliminates the need for troublesome switch operations when setting the Lossnay ventilator to By-pass ventilation. The following shows the effect By-pass ventilation will have under various conditions.
1. Reduces cooling load

If the air outside is cooler than the air inside the building during the cooling season (such as early morning or at night), Bypass ventilation will draw in the cooler outside air and reduce the cooling load on the system.
2. Cooling using outdoor air

During cooler seasons (such as between spring and summer or between summer and fall), if the people in a room cause the temperature of the room to rise, By-pass ventilation draw in the cool outside air and use it as is to cool the room.
3. Night purge
By-pass ventilation can be used to release hot air from inside the building that has accumulated in buildings a business district during the hot summer season.
4. Office equipment room cooling

During cold season, outdoor air can be drawn in and used as is to cool rooms where the temperature has risen due to the use of office equipment. (Only when interlocked with City Multi and Mr. Slim indoor unit)
9.2
Switching between Heat Recovery and Bypass in the Automatic Ventilation Mode

Note:
There is a maximum delay of 30 seconds during damper switching. Even if By-pass is selected by the Lossnay remote controller, Lossnay ventilation will be performed if the outdoor temperature is 8C or less. This is to prevent condensation. When multiple City Multi indoor units are connected in a group, the average set temperature for each indoor unit will be the target temperature. The set temperature is the target temperature for the Mr. Slim indoor unit. In the case of (c) when the indoor unit is stopped in winter, cooling with outdoor air is performed because equipment in the room may cause a rise in indoor temperature.

10. Cautions of Lossnay Operation in cold region

10.1 Use of Pre-Heating Unit
If Lossnay unit operates in the condition below OA should be heated by pre heating unit to prevent condensation and freezing in Lossnay unit and core. (1) OA temperature is less than -10 degree C. (2) EA is plotted over the saturation curve like point C in the following fig, OA, EA, SA and RA conditions are plotted in the coldest condition in the year. Condensation and freezing may occur within the Lossnay unit and core under the conditions of (1) and (2).
Saturation curve
C A A
OA heating is not necessary except for conditions listed above.
Intermittent operation
If OA temperature goes down to -10 degree C or below during operation of the Lossnay without Pre heating unit, supply air fan will be in intermittent operation mode to protect core against freezing. Intermittent operation ; After measuring -10 degree C or below, the Lossnay unit will run for 60 minutes, then it stop SA fan for 10 minutes.(In the case that OA goes down to -15 degree C, or outside air stays at -10 degree C or colder for a long time (i.e day or more) pre heater unit should be fitted to prevent condensation and freezing.)

Toa2 temperature goes down to -5 degree C, Contact for heater is turn ON.
Lossnay run for 1 minutes to cool heater, after turning OFF Lossnay unit during Preheater ON. Toa2 temperature rises to 15 degree C, Contact for heater is then turned OFF.
Time
The control method

(1) Heater ON The X8 relay turns on, when the OA temperature gets to -5C or less. The OA temperature is checked after 10 second from the SA fan is started. (2) Heater OFF The X8 relay turns off, when the OA temperature gets over 15C, or when the SA fan stops. or in case of the OA temperature sensor error. (3) Remaining-heat exclusion After being turned off the heater, the SA and EA fans are made to operate for at least 1 minute with the notch as they are. When the heater is being ON at the time of a stop, while turning off the heater instancy, the fans delay operation for 1 minute. (4) Pre-heat malfunctions After turning ON the Pre-heat output (X8), when the OA temperature becomes larger than 15C within 15 minutes, or when the intermittent operation shown in 10.1 starts. The Pre-heat output (X8) turns OFF, and the re-drive of the heater is not performed until Lossnay is stopped. The error message 3126 is displayed at the M-NET remote controller, but not for PZ-41SLB-E Lossnay remote controller.

10.4 Example of Heater Capacity

Requiring of heating capacity could be shown following formula with Toa1,primary side temp, and Toa2,secoundly side temp. W1 = Sf Q C (Toa2-Toa1) 860 W1 = Q 1.2 0.24 (Toa2-Toa1) 860 [kW] ......... 1 Q [CMH] [kg/m3] C [kcal/kg] Toa1 [C] Toa2 [C] : Air volume : Specific gravity of air, 1.2 : specific heat of air, 0.24 : Primary temp. : Secondly temp.
Sf : Safety ratio, 1.0 ......... Safety ratio is 1.0 to prevent selecting too big capacity.
This is the example of LGH-100RX4-E using in following condition.

Coldest condition : -20C 40% RH, Indoor condition 23C 50% RH
Firstly, calculate capacity with Low notch air volume.

If capacity is calculated with air volume of high speed, secondly temperature might rise too high over 20 degree C during low notch operation. Then, secondly temp. repeat going down to -5 degree C and going up to 15 degree C In this case, contact may be broken by repeating ON and OFF.
Low notch air volume of LGH-100RX4-E is 870 CMH

Temp. exchange efficiency [t] : 81% Enthalpy. exchange efficiency [h] : 74% EA temp. : Tea = Tra + (Toa - Tra) t = 23 + (-20 - 23) 0.81 = -11.8C EA Enthalpy : Hea = Hra + (Hoa - Hra) h = 45.4 + (-19.4 - 45.4) 0.74 = -2.6kJ/kg EA absolute humidity : 3.7g/kg', read from psychometric chart EA condition, Point C, is left side of saturation curve as fig 1. OA should be heated by heater to prevent condensation of Lossnay. fig 1

Requiring of heating capacity could be shown following formula 1.

W1=Q 1.2 0.24 (Toa2 - Toa1) 860 [kW] Tentatively substitute 5.4 kW to heater capacity,W1. Q : 870 [CMH] Toa1 : -20 [C] (Toa2 - (-20)) = 5.4 870 1.2 0.24 860 Toa2 = 18.5 - 20 = -1.5C EA absolute humidity is 3.7g/kg'. Secondly side absolute humidity is same as primary side. During pre-heater of 5.4kW, calculate EA temp.,Tea' as following. Tea' = Tra + (Toa - Tra) t = 23 + (-1.5 - 23) 0.81 = 3.2C In this case, condensation does not occur in EA as Point C' in fig1. SA condition is 18.4C, 47%RH Following table is calculating result of Toa1,Toa2 and SA of each notch.

Finally, confirm the EA condition in high notch. In this case, EA relative humidity is less than 100% in high notch. Lossnay can be use effectively with 5.4kW heater under the condition of -20 degree C OA temperature. If Toa2 is less than -10 degree C in high notch under this calculation, should run in low notch in winter season. Following table is result of calculation with rating air volume of each Lossnay unit. Use real value of air volume for the calculation.

Calculate the temperature rising during high notch operation with above figure of capacity. W1 = Q* 1.2* 0.24* (Toa2 - Toa1) / 860 [kW] (Toa2 - Toa1) = W1* 860 / Q / 1.2 / 0.24 Table to show approximate size of heater (kW)(High notch) Model Heater capacity [kW] Rating air volume CMH Toa2 - Toa1C LGH-15RX4 LGH-25RX4 LGH-35RX4 LGH-50RX4 LGH-65RX4 LGH-80RX4 LGH-100RX4 LGH-150RX4 LGH-200RX4 0.74 150 14.7 1.11 250 13.2 1.54 350 13.1 2.34 500 14.0 3.35 650 15.4 4.49 800 16.8 5.83 1000 17.4 8.37 1500 16.7 11.05 2000 16.5
10.5 Caution for Selecting Pre-heating Unit

Calculate the capacity under following items.
1 Actual air volume is calculated by taking into account ductwork pressure loss. Select the capacity of heater considering caluculate air volume.
Calculating air volume should be Low notch air volume, referring to 2-2. Deference between secondly and primary temperature should be less than 20 degree C. If capacity is calculated with air volume of high speed, secondly temperature might rise too high over 20 degree C during low notch operation. Then, secondly temp. repeat going down to -5 degree C and going up to 15 degree C .In this case, contact may be broken by repetitive switching ON and OFF of the heater contactor.
2 Select the capacity of heater to ensure Toa2 is always above -10 degree C.
If Lossnay OA thermistor measure less than -10 degreeC at 60 minutes after operating, intermittence operation of SA fan stop operation for 10 minutes and normal operation for 60 minutes. In this case, pre-heater is stopped by Lossnay PCB.
3 Considering heater safety

Always Ensure that local regulations are adhered to for installation of pre-heater. Pre-heater should be separated from Lossnay as possible to prevent fire spread. note; secondly temperature = Toa2 There are useful software,Lossnay economical calculation soft, for selecting heater capacity.
