Functions

The new, compact climate control KST-20 Vento/CO₂ for automatic, controlled dehumidification and ventilation of rooms, is an advanced control unit for ventilation devices.

Intelligent CO₂ ventilation

Too high CO₂ concentrations can quickly become a danger for rooms as well as for entire buildings. The KST-20 Vento/CO₂ air quality monitoring system is constantly tracking the carbon dioxide content of the air in the respective room. If the set limit value is exceeded, an automatic ventilation process is triggered. To do this, the climate control automatically activates the connected actuators and switches them off automatically after ventilation has been successful. We can thus assure you that rooms will be used under safe and healthy conditions.

Dehumidification depending on the absolute humidity

In dehumidification mode, the climate control KST-20 Vento/CO₂ is ideal for mould prevention and building protection, as well as for creating and maintaining a comfortable feel-good climate. In this mode, moisture is removed from the room in a controlled and reliable way, so that an optimum temperature and humidity ratio in relation to the absolute humidity will be achieved automatically.
The basic principle of ZILA' s climate control systems lies in comparing the water vapour content of the room air and the and outside 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 inside and only drier air is introduced from outside. "aH Controlled" describes the automated determination of the right time to ventilate, considering the climatic conditions inside and outside the building.
Our devices are able to control the most common fans with and without heat recovery as well as motorised window openers fully automatically. This technology provides for healthy conditions in buildings, ensures a good indoor climate and works very energy-efficient, as ventilation is only carried out when necessary and if an air exchange makes sense.

Comfort functions

The range of functions of the climate control KST-20 Vento/CO₂ includes automatic operating modes for ventilation and dehumidification, along with other advanced functions. With the integrated timer, pause and active times for the individual ventilation units can be set precisely down to the minute. A ventilation process can be started manually at any time using the button on the housing of the KST-20 Vento/CO₂. The "frost protection function" prevents the monitored room from cooling down too much, while the "dry protection function" keeps the humidity inside at a healthy level for both humans and the building.

Various configurations and settings can easily be selected via the backlit display and the operating keys.
