2 Simple and Effective Fresh air from outside Excellent Air Quality and Unbeatable Heat Exchange Efficiency Stale exhaust air Fresh air supply to the room Heat exchange unit (Lossnay core) Stale room air extracted The Secret of the Lossnay System Poor air quality can be attributed to many problems arising in the workplace or in the home. It is believed to contribute to a significant loss in productivity, low morale and higher rates of sickness amongst many employees. The object of providing good ventilation alongside air conditioning in residential and commercial buildings is to provide conditions under which people can live and work in comfort and safety. Developed and refined over the past 5 years, the Lossnay system has perfected the recovery of energy that would have otherwise been wasted. The units reduce overall energy costs by extracting stale air and then recovering the heating or cooling energy to either warm or cool incoming fresh air. By utilising this energy, the Lossnay system can save up to 0% on initial capital costs of heating and cooling plant by reducing the load of the occupied space, resulting in the need for a smaller heating and/or cooling system. The secret of the Lossnay system lies in the cross flow, plate fin structure of the heat exchange unit. A diaphragm made of specially processed paper fully separates inlet and exhaust air supplies, ensuring that only fresh air is introduced to the indoor environment. Outdoors Stale dirty indoor air (Exhaust Air) Indoors Fresh air into building (Supply Air) Improvements to the Lossnay The microscopically small pores of the diaphragm have been made even smaller, decreasing the rate at which water soluble gases such as Ammonia and Hydrogen pass through. Further, a new specially processed paper used to make the diaphragm has been developed with high moisture permeability characteristics. This aids in the transfer of moisture and improves the effectiveness of shielding unwanted gases, resulting in highly efficient energy transfer.

3 Main Features of Lossnay Total Heat Recovery Concept Effective Ventilation Lossnay s simultaneous air exhaust/supply provides effective ventilation. Conventional ventilators (i.e. extract propeller fans) do not work effectively within air tight buildings because of the negative air pressures involved. Good Energy Recovery Total heat (sensible and latent) recovery provides a comfortable air temperature within the room. The energy saved by using Lossnay contributes towards lowering the heating or cooling requirement within the building, therefore reducing the energy requirement and running costs. Free Cooling Bypass Function (LGH series) When the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor air conditioned temperature in the summer, Lossnay provides fresh outdoor cool air to reduce the indoor air temperature. Good Sound Attenuation As the Lossnay core is made of paper and the permeable holes are small, the Lossnay core provides outstanding soundproofing properties and is appropriate for sound proof rooms. Part L2 Building Regulations With the introduction of Part L2 (Part J in Scotland), new building design is changing to become more airtight, as well as energy efficient. The need for fresh air has remained the same however and thus poses new challenges for modern design. Lossnay fully meets these challenges due to its basic principal and its efficient heat recovery.

4 Lossnay Working in Conjunction with Air Conditioning Lossnay units can work either on their own to provide fresh air into a room, or in combination with Mr Slim or City Multi ceiling cassettes and ducted units. When working together with air conditioning, Lossnay units can provide significant energy savings by automatically utilising free cooling as well as heat recovery. As the Lossnay and the air conditioning unit are connected by a two core communication cable, they can work together to optimise both comfort and energy efficiency. This is done by the Lossnay reading the mode and set temperature the air conditioning requires, then utilising the outside temperature to help achieve the required temperature either by free cooling or heat recovery. Free Cooling was available in London over 58% of the time in 200 When using Lossnay in conjunction with air conditioning the heating and cooling loads can be reduced significantly, reducing the running costs by up to 0% compared with air conditioning systems without heat recovery systems. Above example: One LGH25RX5 serving one PLARPBA. Room size 7m x 7m, 140w/m 2 heat load. 7 people per room, 10litres/person of fresh air to meet Part F requirements. Maximum amount of fresh air to be introduced is 0% of the fan coil volume. Ceiling cassettes may require fresh air casements. Free cooling is not available below 8ºC when interlocked with Mr Slim or City Multi units. Lossnay fan speed button is incorporated within the standard PAR0MAA and PARF27MEA controllers Ambient Temperature London 200, 8am pm The graph shows the hourly temperature for 200 in London between 8.00am.00p.m. The point to note is the amount of free cooling available during these hours, as well as the heat recovery below (% of the time) and cooling recovery above (20% of the time). Lossnay is a year round solution for providing fresh air. Over 58% of the time between 8ampm, the temperature in London was between 8ºC and 20ºC, allowing free cooling when the air conditioning setpoint was 21ºC in cooling mode. If the setpoint is higher, free cooling is increased. Page 250 Page 251

5 Hyper Eco Core LGHRX5E and LGHRSDCE Lossnay units feature the newly developed Hyper Eco Core, which uses nonporous, ultrathin film to achieve high enthalpy exchange efficiency. With a thickness of only 25µm, these are the thinnest in the world and are approximately one fifth the thickness of previous Mitsubishi Electric products. Moisture permeability is dramatically increased and enthalpy heat exchange greatly improved. Comparison of new and old Lossnay Core crosssections Previous Lossnay Core New Hyper Eco Core Comparison of material used in Hyper Eco Core (25µm ultrathin film) with regular paper 120µm 25µm Porous partition plate Nonporous film partition plate Consists of a twolayer construction using a specially processed material made of a preferential permeable film on a porous base material. This provides moisture permeability and air barrier properties, but the twolayer construction makes a certain thickness unavoidable. Consists of a specially processed structure based on a singlelayer, nonporous, ultrathin film material. Moisture exchange (water vapour transmission) is promoted by the special film, which increases the affinity for moisture (the thinner the film, the higher the permeability). The nonporous ultrathin film material acts as a barrier against air leakage. The thinnest paper used in regular printing is 51µm thick (used in dictionaries) and the material of the Hyper Eco Core is approximately half the thickness of this. Use Thickness Hyper Eco Core material 25µm Previous Mitsubishi Electric material 120µm Photocopier paper 100µm Dictionary paper 51µm MultiVentilation Mode Enables the appropriate supply/exhaust balance to be selected to suit usage, environment and location. All LGHRX5E models feature the "Multiventilation Mode," which allows the air supply/exhaust balance to be varied dynamically to suit the usage environment and location. Modes can be selected easily by setting the connectors on the circuit board. Ventilation Mode Power air supply/exhaust mode Power air supply mode Power air exhaust mode Energysaving ventilation mode Supply Airflow * "" can be further set to "Extra high" using the dip switch. Normal Office Small Office or Building Industrial Areas Exhaust Airflow Connect Ducts in Two Different Directions (Outdoor vents) Ducts can be connected in two different directions to the outdoor vents thanks to collars and aperture plates that can be interchangeably placed in two different positions. This flexibility allows for installations close to the surface of a wall and helps avoid cases where the stale air exhaust vent would be blocked by an obstruction of some kind. This makes both the planning and installation of Lossnay units that much simpler. CO2 Sensor Lossnay systems allow you to measure CO2 density (via an independent, rd party CO2 sensor) and thereby control the amount of fresh air supplied to a building. By connecting a CO2 sensor to the Lossnay unit, the system will switch fan speeds automatically depending on the CO2 level. Standard installation A space is necessary to prevent the influx of rainwater. Installation with duct direction changed Can be installed close to the surface of the wall. Changing the duct direction Collar Aperture Plate Exchangeable Extra mode (LGHRX5E) In addition to the conventional fan speeds, an Extra mode has been added to provide a more dynamic range of air volume settings. This provides versatility in a variety of installation environments, yielding better energy conservation. Providing efficient ventilation while maintaining air supply/exhaust balance... Power air supply & air exhaust Most widelyused pattern forming the basis for traditional ventilation design. This allows the most efficient ventilation while maintaining the air supply/exhaust balance. The optimum ventilation rate can be maintained by selecting the Power air supply/exhaust mode with both the air supply & air exhaust switched to "" (or "Extra high") on the main unit. For example in an office, the control switches can be set to "" to run in Power air supply/exhaust mode when a large number of people are in the office, then switched to "" to run in Energysaving ventilation mode late at night or on holidays when there are few people present. Using Lossnay compensates for using extractor fans... Power air supply In smaller offices or buildings, there may be insufficient air supply to the main rooms or offices due to the excessive exhaust via extractor fans located in toilets or kitchen areas. Setting to Power air supply mode with the air supply switch on "" (or "Extra high") and the air exhaust switch on "" on the main unit, allows efficient ventilation while making up for the insufficient air supply. Priority on air exhaust... Power air exhaust In locations such as industrial working areas, dirty air must be exhausted swiftly. Setting the Power air exhaust mode with the air supply switch on "" and the air exhaust switch on "" (or "Extra high") on the main unit allows efficient extraction of fumes and odours. Maintaining the area at a negative air pressure also prevents dirty air from spreading to surrounding areas. Page 252 Page 25

6 Restaurants A restaurant can never be too clean and its air never too fresh The atmosphere of a restaurant is crucial to securing and retaining customers. Cleanliness is the key to an attractive atmosphere and restaurants devote significant effort to ensuring their premises are as such. Sanitation and cleanliness, however, are not enough. No matter how clean a restaurant may look, if there are bothersome odours lingering in the air, all those efforts go to waste and the restaurant's clean image is tarnished. For these reasons, Lossnay s superior ventilation capabilities ensure that every breath is a fresh one and a pleasant environment is maintained for guests at all times. Lossnay also keeps owners happy with its remarkable heat recovery technology that supplies fresh outdoor air with minimal change to indoor temperature, saving on energy costs. Schools Creating the best possible environment for our children to succeed Children deserve all the help we can give them to grow up healthy, happy and prosperous. No matter how good a school's curriculum, no matter how positive and enthusiastic the teacher, a child who does not feel well will have a hard time learning. A constant flow of fresh air is nowhere as important as it is in our schools. In classrooms where large numbers of students are gathered for long periods of time, carbonic gases have the tendency to accumulate, decreasing the levels of oxygen that are vital for alertness and concentration. This is especially true during the winter months when windows tend to remain closed. Lossnay ventilates fresh outdoor air into classrooms to replenish the supply of oxygen and expels not only carbon dioxide, but also other pollutants and odours that inevitably sully the air. Occupants have the luxury of breathing fresh air at all times, even in highly airtight buildings If it s Lossnay If it s Lossnay Lossnay works to remove stale air and supply fresh, clean air free of the odours associated with cooking, cigarettes and the people working and dining. The continuous influx of fresh, outdoor air and the exhaust of stale, indoor air ensure that the indoor oxygen level is maintained at just the right balance for comfort and health. Change in room temperature is kept to a minimum during ventilation thanks to the heatrecovery function. The Lossnay operate very quietly, so those in the midst of enjoying their meals will not be bothered by any excess noise. A large array of Lossnay sizes are available to match the layout of just about any restaurant. Occupants have the luxury of breathing fresh air at all times, even in highly airtight buildings. Lossnay's sound attenuation qualities prevent outside noise from penetrating into the room, helping to maintain a quiet environment for productive study. Heatexchange technology prevents fluctuations in temperature creating significant energy savings when either heating or cooling a room. Offices Fresh air improving the overall quality of working life Many office buildings today are heavily insulated, airtight structures with little or no natural ventilation. The unnatural environment created by air conditioners without added ventilation is a breeding ground for bacteria. Factor this in with the accumulation of pollutants and odours in the form of formaldehyde, pollen, dust, carbon dioxide and the necessity of ventilation becomes ever more apparent. In fact, poorly ventilated buildings can give rise to Sick Building Syndrome, a malady that is known to cause headaches, sore eyes, itching and loss of concentration. This results not only in discomfort at best and sickness at worst for the building's occupants, but also the reduced productivity of the workforce. Fresh air, effectively ventilated throughout the building is therefore essential to the overall quality of working life. If it s Lossnay Simultaneous forcedair supply and exhaust introduces fresh, outdoor air into the building, effectively ventilating even fully airtight structures. Multiple splittype units operate independently of one another, simplifying system set up and ensuring a layout that optimally matches nearly any office design. Lossnay operation can be interlocked with airconditioning system operation. Heat that is commonly lost due to ventilation is collected and reused thanks to the Lossnay Core, reducing an air conditioners energy load and cutting operating costs. Page 254 Page 255
