Innovation

is our DNA

The assurance of a quality product is obtained by means of thorough tests in the R&D Lab, one of the largest testing labs in Europe. Every Rhoss unit is subjected to rigorous operating tests before being launched on the market, simulating the most extreme operating conditions. EXP Systems is the polyvalent ecological system designed by RHOSS to satisfy cold and hot water demands simultaneously or independently with a single unit. It is designed for use in 2, 4 and 6-pipe systems, at any time of year. An entire range with air and water cooled from 5 to

800 kW with TER* index up to 8.33. The offer includes new Class A models with high

ESEER efficiency with partial loads.

Over 15 years'

experience

Hundreds of systems built in the last 15 years with poly-valent units in residential and commercial buildings, office buildings, industrial com-plexes, hospitals, clinics and accommodation in general.

Efficient technology

EXP Systems allows a complete air conditioning system to be set up with domestic hot water production, there-by obtaining a double result with a sin-gle unit and one expense, and guaran-teed high performance from the energy supplied by the compressor in terms of energy efficiency.

Versatile system

EXP Systems is a fourth-generation heat pump that produces hot and chilled water, combined or inde-pendently, for 4-pipe and 2-pipe sys-tems with domestic hot water produc-tion.

Reliable unit

Thanks to its innovative control logic, EXP Systems meets the cooling and heating requirements by minimizing the stops and restarts of the compressor resulting in the beneficial effect on the duration of all the components of the cooling circuit.

Flexible installation

EXP Systems is adaptable for various system installation requirements thanks to its several configurations and accessories that make it plug and play.

Ecological solution

EXP Systems can be defined as a polyvalent environmentally friendly unit because it represents the efficient evo-lution of the electric heat pump, in line with the most stringent European direc-tives. The high performance in the heat recovery mode further increases the difference compared to conventional installations, thereby reducing the di-rect and indidi-rect emissions that con-tribute to the greenhouse effect.

OFFICE OFFICE NORTH SOUTH

EXP Systems is the intelligent solution to air conditioning requirements in systems where the heating demand is simultaneously or independently combined with a cooling request.

The units adapt well to various types of systems, thereby guaranteeing unique efficiency and versatility.

Selecting the most suitable unit for your system is simple since there are 25 air-cooled models and 27 water-cooled models to choose from with scroll and screw technology with R410A and R134a gas respectively.

EXP Systems is today's technology that guaran-tees the most efficient solution in combined operation of hot and chilled water production, and the TER index rep-resents the best value that characterises it. TER, the ratio between the total heating and cooling capacity sup-plied and the power ab-sorbed, reaches maxi-mum values when loads are balanced. 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Cooling capacity % Heating capacity % TER

The graph highlights TER performance for a EXP Systems TXAETY 6520 unit in a standard 4-pipe system based on the requested load.

Conditions of reference: cold water 7°C, hot water 45°C and outdoor air temperature 15°C.

The units of the Y-PACK EXP, Y-FLOW EXP and WinPOWER EXP ranges, equipped with the revolutionary AF+ (Adaptive Function Plus), which is a Rhoss patent, allow the set point to be adapted according to the load of the system for additional energy savings.

EXP Systems units are designed to operate in 2, 4, and 6-pipe systems

of the new range.

This flexibility allows it to be used in several types of construction,

thereby allowing any subsequent change in the intended use.

The heart of the system is represented in the new electronic

control and control logic designed by Rhoss to meet all the system

requirements in 2 operating modes:

AUTOMATIC

and

SELECT

.

Often in residential cases, in homes with individual systems or apartment blocks with centralized systems, in hotels, nursing homes, gyms and accommodation structures in general, the air conditioning and air treatment requirements are accompanied by the need for domestic hot water production.

When the EXP Systems is configured for 2-pipe systems, it performs this task with maximum flexibility throughout the year. WinPOWER EXP units also have the option to produce hot water up to 70°C in another heat exchanger in any operation mode.

In office buildings and the service sectors, the modern air conditioning systems increasingly require simultaneous production of hot and chilled water.

Improved thermal insulation in structures, the increase in the heat loads due to the lighting and the presence of large windows, lead to the system having to cool certain areas while having to heat others during spring and autumn. In this case, when the EXP Systems is configured for 4-pipe systems, it represents a very convenient complete solution.

WinPOWER EXP units also have the option to produce hot water up to 70°C in another heat in order to meet modern 6-pipe system requests.

COMMISSIONING

Since it deals with commissioning a building, a single product is not directly involved. However, everything that can simplify commissioning oper-ations on-site is important. The Witness Test car-ried out in a Eurovent approved laboratory enables CxA (Commissioning Authority) to verify and vali-date operation of the unit with a full and/or partial load before delivery and installation. These opera-tions are not always easy to carry out on-site.

MINIMUM ENERGY PERFORMANCE The unit complies with the compulsory minimum efficiency requirements, which are calculated ac-cording to standard ARI 550/590, reported in table 6.8.1C of Standard ASHRAE 90.1-2010, and can thus be used again in a project that intends to ob-tain a LEED®_certificate.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION Energy optimisation concerns the building in its entirety, therefore, it is impossible to identify con-tribution in advance of a single unit in the overall calculation. However, units having performance features that are much better than the minimum set by the standard of reference can significantly contribute to reducing energy requirements of the building and thus get better points.

ENHANCED REFRIGERANT MANAGEMENT The unit individually meets the reference formula of LCGWP+LCODP*10^5<13, calculated by using the parameters of reference reported in the LEED® BD+C guide and in the ASHRAE Handbook - Ap-plications 2007. Please note that in order to obtain the credit points, the building must fulfil the formula in its entirely, combining and weighing the contri-butions of all units that contain more than 0.25 kg of refrigerant.
