Product description

The new, compact climate control KST-20 Calima is a flexible control device for fans and other actuators. It is suitable for preventing condensation and mould as well as for reducing humidity through automatic and controlled dehumidification. Moreover, room ventilation in accordance with DIN standard 1946-6 can be carried out. 

Domestic ventilation DIN 1946-6

In living spaces, the unit is able to comply with DIN standard 1946-6 and distinguish between different ventilation stages in a controlled manner. For this reason, there are connections for supply and exhaust air elements on the climate control.

Dehumidification on the basis of absolute humidity

In dehumidification mode, the KST-20 Vento climate control is ideal for mould prevention and structural protection while maintaining a comfortable feel-good climate. In the process, humidity is removed from the room in a controlled and reliable manner, so that an optimum temperature-humidity ratio is automatically ensured on the basis of absolute humidity.
The basic principle of ZILA climate controls is to compare the water vapour content of the indoor and outdoor air. The water vapour content is defined by the absolute humidity (=aH) and is a measure of the "actual" humidity in the air. Comparing the absolute humidity of the indoor and outdoor climate ensures that moist air is removed from rooms and only drier outdoor air is introduced. "aH Controlled" means that suitable times for ventilation are automatically determined by the ventilation and dehumidification control, considering the climatic conditions inside and outside a building. At the same time, the devices can control the most common fans with and without heat recovery, as well as motor-driven window openers, fully automatically. This technology not only maintains a healthy building structure and a comfortable indoor climate, but is also very energy-efficient, as ventilation is only carried out if necessary and an air exchange makes sense.

Comfort functions

In addition to the automatic operating modes for ventilation and dehumidification, the functional scope of the climate control KST-20 Calima also includes other comfort functions. A ventilation process can be started manually at any time using a button on the control unit's housing. The "frost protection function" prevents the monitored room from cooling down too much, while the "dry protection function" ensures that the humidity in the room remains at a healthy level for both people and the building.
