Windis Zero
Liquid-loop heat recovery
Windis Zero is a patented control system for run-around coil heat recovery in air handling units (AHUs). It holds the run-around loop at an operating point where heat recovery delivers what the coils were sized for, even as outdoor temperature, airflow and load change.

Windis Zero can be installed in a new or an existing air handling unit, regardless of the unit's make. The system works in every site where the air handling unit has run-around coil heat recovery.
Systems with several extract-air coils
In systems with several extract-air coils, the delivery includes 2-way control valves as standard, measuring the fluid flow of each extract-air coil separately.
Efficiency in hard frost
Heat-recovery efficiency stays close to its design value even in hard frost, so the need for supplementary heat stays low.
Installation
The run-around loop is assembled and tested at the factory. On site it is connected to the air handling unit and the building automation.
Renovation
The existing air handling unit does not need to be replaced. The controller is integrated into the unit, so the building automation needs no software changes.
