The regenerative cooling system Ka 2 O Co-funded by the Eco-innovation Initiative of the European Union
Ka 2 O-technology: Indirect evaporation cooling for air handling units. adiabatic efficiency: 96 % adiabatic cooling: bis zu 18 K heat recovery class: H1 implemented reference with Ka O complies with the 2 Oekodesign Directive 2016 & 2018 (ErP)
Maximum cooling output Using Ka 2 O, the supply air is cooled to 0.5 K above the wet bulb temperature of the exhaust air. Regardless of the outside temperature, even at as high as 40 C. 1 I 6
Heat recovery The counter-current principle achieves up to 87 % temperature change, up to 78 % dry in compliance with EN 308. 2 I 6
Modular technology 200-24,000 m³/h Extremely variable by combining up to 12 modules above each other and 5 module towers behind each other. 3 I 6
Minimal pressure loss In spite of its counter-current principle, consistently low pressure loss of 170 Pa due to parallel flow through the modules, even at air volumes of up to 24,000 m³/h. 4 I 6
KaControl Ka 2 O technology is factory-fitted with a KaControl and thus has innate intelligence. Integration into building management systems via BACnet, Modbus or LON. 5 I 6
NOVA air handling units Kampmann and NOVA, founding members of the Air Handling Manufacturers Association e.v., have been cooperating since 2011. Ka 2 O technology is incorporated in NOVA units and and jointly delivered. 6 I 6
