KST-20 Vento - multifunctional climate control for intelligent room dehumidification, ventilation and cooling
A quick look at the improvements:
- Electronics miniaturisation
- Significantly smaller and more compact housing
- Ventilation according to DIN 1946-6
- Temperature-dependent cooling available as operating mode
- More extensive connection options, for example for multi-stage fans
- Simplified and more intuitive menu navigation
The product name KST-20 Vento was derived from the Italian word for "wind force". This device is very easy to operate and configure thanks to its intuitive menu navigation, so that the optimum parameters for the required application can be set quickly and easily. At the same time, the integrated display clearly indicates all settings and the measured climate values.
Our integrated aH-Controlled technology constitutes the centrepiece of this climate control.
Furthermore, its intelligent software is programmed to compare the climatic conditions inside and outside a room and is able to control all common 230 V supply and exhaust air elements, depending on the specific application.
The varying and fluctuating environmental conditions (temperature [T] and relative humidity [rH]) are measured via an indoor and an outdoor climate sensor, which are directly connected to the climate control by a cable. From these measurands, the actual water vapour content in the air for the indoor and outdoor area is calculated and compared in order to determine the absolute humidity [aH]. In this way, an automatic ventilation process is only initiated if ventilation is required to achieve the expected ventilation success within a room or building. So we can conclude that the aH-Controlled technology is an extremely energy-efficient and economical method of room ventilation for many applications.
With its three operating modes for ventilation, dehumidification and cooling, the KST-20 Vento can be used flexibly in almost any living, working or industrial space.
Living space ventilation according to DIN 1946-6
For living spaces, the device complies with the DIN standard 1946-6, and, with that, can distinguish between different ventilation levels in a controlled manner.
Temperature-dependent cooling
By simply adjusting the configuration parameters, the device becomes a temperature-dependent cooling control for factory and production halls as well as server rooms and other sensitive electrical installations.
Dehumidification on the basis of absolute humidity
In dehumidification mode, the climate control KST-20 Vento helps to prevent mould, to protect buildings and to maintain a comfortable feel-good climate. Moisture is removed from the room in a controlled and reliable manner and thus an optimum temperature-humidity ratio is automatically ensured with respect to absolute humidity.Comfort functions
In addition to the automatic operating modes for ventilation, dehumidification and cooling, the range of functions of the KST-20 Vento includes even more comfort functions. With the integrated timer, pause and active times for the ventilation devices can be set to the minute. A ventilation process can be started manually at any time, using a button on the control housing. The "frost protection function" prevents the monitored room from cooling down too much, while the "dry protection function" keeps the humidity in the room at a healthy level for both people and the building.
