Exhaust air heat recovery (AWN) with heat pump for the on-demand exhaust air system
AWN Connect combines AWN Basic with Connect WP, a brine / saltwater / water heat pump designed specifically for AWN. While the AWN Basic is installed where the exhaust ducts end – above or under the roof – the Connect WP is designed for indoor installation and can be placed in the boiler room.
On the cold source side, the Connect WP cools a brine circuit up to 2° C and feeds the cold brine to the AWN Basic heat exchanger using an integrated feed pump. The heat is extracted from the stale air and returned to the heat pump. The heat pump raises the temperature level of the heat produced and makes it available the whole year through the heating water to the building’s heating system.
2 types of ventilation module: RV for indoor installation & DV for outdoor installation
Low energy consumption: the EC engine meets the requirements of EnEV
Constant pressure control: ideal for demand-controlled ventilation
Easy to maintain: motor easily accessible by a trapdoor to clean the blades
ReSource Control - Intelligent and Source-Oriented Heat Pump Control. Always high performance for the best efficiency.
Silent: acoustic foam on the entire envelope and sound trap available on request, optional.

Exhaust air heat pump efficient for heat generation and heat recovery
Stale air is extracted according to the air needs of the inhabitant of the dwelling and according to the indoor air quality of the dwelling. This stale air contains energy that is recovered and sent to the power plant. The AWN Connect includes the AWN Basic (DV / RV), and a separate heat pump specifically designed for AWN: Connect WP. In combination with an air extraction module (AWN Basic) for outdoor or indoor installation, the AWN Connect system can be flexibly adapted to individual building projects. In addition, several AWN Basic can be used with a unique Connect WP.
Intelligent and Source-Oriented Heat Pump Control – ReSource Control
The source-oriented heat pump control – ReSource Control – always adjusts the heat pump flow according to the volume flow of exhaust air available. This resulted in near-continuous operation and extended operating time for improved homogeneity and efficiency.
Highly efficient feed pumps
Into the Connect WP, a highly efficient and power-controlled heating water feed pump is already integrated. In order to guarantee a constant temperature distribution between the outgoing flow and the return of the heat pump and thus to obtain the best performances, the supply pump is always adapted to the requirements thanks to an integrated measuring technology. In the Connect WP, a pump for the distribution of brine and a pump for the distribution of heating water are already integrated.

In this version, AWN can be associated with third-party heat pumps via a brine buffer. The AWN Basic is a combination of an air exhaust module and a heat exchanger to ensure heat recovery.
The AWN Eco+ is a compact and fully integrated exhaust air heat pump. Here, the ventilation unit and the heat pump are combined in one. This components’ closeness allows a direct transmission of the exhaust air heat to the refrigerant which enhances the device efficiency and energy saving. The ventilation adapts the airflows according to the needs in the dwelling thanks to Aereco’s humidity-sensitive exhaust air system: the on-demand management is ensured at any time.
The heat provided throughout the year is then released by the heat pump directly to the heating water of the building heating system. The AWN Eco+ drastically reduces the energy load for heating water.
