Press release
Menerga at ISH 2013:
Air conditioning solutions for
optimum energy utilisation in
buildings
-
Low energy use thanks to ultra-efficient heat recovery
-
New uses of existing energy sources
-
Distributing energy flows based on demand
-
Implementing efficiency through comprehensive
energy monitoring
Frankfurt / Mülheim an der Ruhr, 12 March 2013 – At ISH 2013
in Frankfurt, Menerga GmbH presented comprehensive solutions
for the particularly efficient handling of energy in buildings under
the title of "Energy harvest". In addition to the minimisation of
energy use, four sequential areas of specialisation dealt with the
ideal use of existing energy sources and distribution of energy
flows based on demand. The savings achieved in this manner are
constantly checked and further optimised. Upon this basis, the
company not only wishes to offer ultra-efficient ventilation and air
conditioning systems; it also wishes to work together with
customers in order to develop creative, product-based solutions
that make use of the energy present in the building as wisely as
possible.
In the first area of specialisation entitled "Minimising energy use",
the manufacturer based in Mülheim illustrated how comfort air
conditioning can be implemented with an extremely low energy
consumption thanks to ultra-efficient, regenerative and
recuperative heat recovery systems. The Adconair units that work
on a recuperative basis are equipped with a countercurrent plate
heat exchanger developed especially for use in central air
conditioning units and that achieves excellent heat recovery rates
of over 90% - as well as levels in excess of 95% in swimming
pools - even at high nominal volume flows of multiple 10,000 m³/h.
Furthermore, the company has also been deploying ultra-efficient
heat accumulators in the Resolair series for over 20 years in the
field of regenerative heat recovery and also achieves heat
recovery efficiencies of over 90% here. Thanks to their high
efficiency, both systems are ideally suitable for passive / low
energy houses and, as a result, are now gradually being certified
as "Passive House Suitable Components".

A second area of specialisation entitled "Increasing the harvesting
factor" illustrated how a significant added value can be achieved
via the integration of existing, inexpensive low-temperature
sources. This is made possible by the sorption-based air
conditioning process, whereby heat is used as drive energy for air
dehumidification with the aid of a liquid lithium chloride solution.
Sorpsolair units can also be ideally combined with a solar thermal
plant for instance as excess heat is available, especially in
summer. The use of waste heat from a combined heat and power
system is also sensible as this method achieves inexpensive
comfort air conditioning with a higher cost effectiveness of the
CHP system.
The core of the third area of specialisation entitled "Managing
energy flows" dealt with concepts with which recovered or unused
energy can be intelligently distributed throughout a building based
on demand. Here, the manufacturer based in Mülheim offers
multiple solutions on how energy in water-bearing systems can be
fed in and made useful for other applications. For instance, the
waste heat from server rooms can be used for heating or water
heating based on demand via the Adcoolair recirc air cooling
units. In swimming pools, the clean water heater belonging to the
ThermoCond air conditioning units developed by Menerga permits
the residual heat contained in the outgoing exhaust air following
heat recovery to be transferred to the hot service water. With the
aid of the Cowatemp compact chilled water units, it is possible to
make either cold or hot water available within a building in an
extremely effective manner. Furthermore, it is also possible to
simultaneously provide cold and hot water if needed.
The manufacturer presented the advantages of continuous
operational optimisation based upon an exact process analysis in
the fourth area of specialisation entitled "Realising efficiency". As
the efficiency of the ventilation and air conditioning technology of
a building can only be assessed if accurate data and
measurement values are available, the company offers an
important aid for regular energy monitoring with vicomo "virtual
control + monitoring". All relevant plant parameters are measured
and analysed in a comprehensive and extremely accurate
manner. As a result, the manufacturer's customer service
department can monitor the energy efficiency of all product series
directly via the Internet and, where necessary, optimise the
operation of them in a project-related manner.
