Performance ranges, water heating
Scroll the table sideways
| Water temperature | Heating capacity (kW) | Water flow (l/s) | Pressure drop (kPa) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70/40 °C | 19,1 – 60,1 | 0,152 – 0,479 | 3,7 – 8,5 |
| 60/30 °C | 8,0 – 37,2 | 0,064 – 0,297 | 1,6 – 5,3 |
| 50/30 °C | 9,0 – 32,5 | 0,108 – 0,389 | 2,6 – 6,9 |
Discharge air temperature 20 °C. The ranges cover all five widths (1 m – 3 m) and the fan control range 20–100 %.
The pressure drop applies to the heat exchanger. The site-specific operating point and pressure drop come from Select.
Exact site-specific sizing is done in Windis Select. The values shown are control ranges per series.
Airflow, sound pressure and fan
Scroll the table sideways
| Airflow (m³/h) | Sound pressure level (dBA) | Fan input power (W) |
|---|---|---|
| 341 – 7 800 | 37,3 – 92,0 | 460 – 1 380 |
The ranges cover all five widths (1 m – 3 m) and the full fan control range 20–100 %.
Sound pressure level LpA, Sabine 10 m². Alternative reporting 5 m / 200 m² (≈ –8 dB) for Free/Ceil 350 models in Select.
500-series fan input power as nameplate values (Max. Input Power, Free Air). Per width: 1 m = 460 W (2 pcs), 1.5 m = 690 W (3 pcs), 2 m and 2.5 m = 920 W (4 pcs), 3 m = 1,380 W (6 pcs). Actual consumption in installed conditions is lower.
