Highest Performance in the Smallest Space — Konvekta’s New Generation System Controller Eiger

Posted by Carol Meader

Energy Efficiency at its Peak!

System performance and energy recovery rates of 70-90% are achieved with the new generation “Eiger” System Controller!

The special design of Konvekta’s high-performance coils with headers on both sides of the coil ensures cross-counter flow and achieves almost pure counter current. This is a prerequisite for high energy efficiency in energy recovery systems. At the same time, this minimizes coil depth and saves space in the air handler.

Recent developments in computing technology have made simulations of complex operating systems both possible and affordable. The latest generation system controller “Eiger” uses the most advanced technology making it the perfect solution for high performance run-around energy recovery systems (RAERS). The “Eiger” controller is specifically ideal for the complexity of multi-functional network systems. The “Eiger” provides continuous automatic operation
of the system as well as continuous efficiency monitoring. Based on actual operating conditions, the “Eiger” will continuously calculate optimal system settings to maximize efficiency. The “NOMINAL” values are compared to actual measured values and all deviations are reported. Only the comparison of the “NOMINAL” value with the actual measured value will determine if the system is running optimally.

System Controller “Eiger” uses Performance Maps of Heat Recovery Coils

The highest efficiency will only be achieved if the System Controller adjusts the liquid flow rate of the system not only for actual air volumes but also for the amount of heating energy required. For this, an intelligent System Controller (the “Eiger”) that uses the performance maps of the installed heat recovery coils is required.

Operations Monitoring
The purpose of every heat recovery system is to optimize net energy recovery to maximize annual operating savings for the life cycle of the system. The prerequisite for this is optimal, failure-free operation of the system. For this reason, installation flaws, software mistakes and incorrect set-point values in the control system have to be detected. With every heat recovery system, malfunctions will occur over time. There is a risk that irregularities are not detected correctly, too late, or not at all. The KONVEKTA System Controller “Eiger” detects deviations from the set-point value early and reports them automatically to the building automation system. Simultaneously, the cause of the malfunction is analyzed.

Comprehensive Information at a Glance
With the increased use of electronics and software, mechanical systems are more complex. Therefore, it is important that the building owner continuously receives reliable and easy to interpret information about system operating conditions as well as possible system malfunctions. With the new visual monitoring tools and with auto-reporting plus, all important data is graphically displayed on the internet dashboard (password protected) or on the controller display cabinet. Thanks to the clear illustration of all key parameters and characteristics, it only takes a glance to determine if the high-performance heat recovery system is functioning optimally and the guaranteed performance is being met.
