8. Installation
Installation conditions
In order to determine whether the WHR can be installed in a certain area,
the following aspects must be taken into account:
• The WHR must be installed according to the general and locally appli-
cable safety and installation regulations of electricity and water boards,
and also according to the regulations of this manual.
• The place of installation must be chosen so that there is sufficient
room around the unit for air duct connections, intake and exhaust lines
and in order to carry out maintenance work.
• The following must be available: air duct connections, electrical con-
nection 230 Volt with Perilex wall socket and facilities for condensation
drainage.
• Both the outside air intake duct and the air exhaust duct must be ren-
dered damp proof between the roof/wall passage and the WHR. This
prevents the formation of condensation on the outside of the duct.
• A double walled or insulated roof passage must be fitted in front of the
air exhaust duct. This prevents the formation of condensation between
the roof boarding.
• The air exhaust duct must drain in the direction of the unit.
• The WHR must be installed in a frost-free space. The condensation
water must be drained frost free, using a siphon.
• Do not fit a powered extractor hood to this system.
For the sake of muffling, an acoustic hose (from 1 to 1.5m long and
with a diameter of 150mm) should be fitted to the intake immedi-
ately after the unit.
An opening has purposely been left under the inside doors, in order to
ensure effective and draught free air flow in the house. If these openings
are closed off, with door rubbers or thick carpets, the air flow in the house
will stagnate and the system will not function optimally. Opening doors and
windows will also have a negative effect on the optimal effectiveness of
the system.
8.1 Transportation and unpacking
Take care when transporting and unpacking the unit. Ensure that the pack-
aging materials are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

WHR left
Contact your supplier directly in the case of damage or an incomplete
delivery. The delivery includes:
• The WHR, 4 x 45° connection bends, a manual en a bracket.
The WHR is supplied in either "basis" or "bypass" versions: WHR or WHR
B. Both are supplied in a left and right-handed variant: WHR R or WHR L.
Check that you have the right model. Look at the sticker on top of the
WHR and the model plate on the front of the unit.

The WHR is fitted against the wall with a minimum distance of 235mm
exhaust
between the WHR base and the floor. Mount the suspension bracket sup-
plied with the unit to the wall, using a spirit level.

8.4 Connecting air ducts
The connecting air ducts, minimum
mum air resistance and free from air leakage. Do not use flexible ducts.
Roof/exterior wall
We recommend fitting the ventilation system with a non-powered extractor
hood and intake and exhaust valves from J.E. StorkAir.
The outside air intake duct and also the air exhaust duct must be rendered
damp proof between the roof/wall passage and the WHR; this avoids forma-
tion of condensation on the outside of the duct. The air exhaust duct must
drain in the direction of the unit.
