Katherm HK trench systems deliver energy-efficient and sound-optimized heating and cooling at all system temperatures, also when operated with low water temperatures and heat pumps. They are suitable for use in all kinds of buildings in which there is a primarily higher cooling load owing to internal loads and the effects of sunlight due to large areas of glazing.
A special feature of the Katherm HK is its air outlet, optimized in terms of short-circuiting. This is achieved by an ideally coordinated layout as well as air flow in the Katherm HK. This generates a higher discharge pulse, which ensures a more uniform temperature distribution and comfort in the occupied zone. The unit is finished by an air flow-optimized roll-up and linear grille.
In cooling mode, low air discharge speeds and an optimized air outlet ensure optimum comfort in the room. The cooled air rising up the facade forms a drum of warm air and flows draft-free into the room. This ensures the best possible shielding of the facade and cost-effective cooling of the room.
The units are very often used in acoustically sensitive spaces, as the quietly-running tangential fans are mounted in a sound-decoupled manner by the innovative combined coupling/ball joint system. For maintenance purposes, the fan can be easily removed and reinstalled without tools. This saves significant installation time.
Made-to-measure products are available for architectural styles with individual geometries. This applies to the trench and grille. Mitered corners, curved designs, corners and angles, pillar recesses and a range of different grille finishes and frame edges are available. Ask us for advice.
The Katherm HK can be easily integrated into common building management systems such as Modbus, BACnet, and KNX. This networking optimizes energy consumption and increases user comfort. All electrical components are pre-installed in a junction box, simplifying installation for all sizes. This networking capability ensures energy optimization of the overall operation and increases comfort.
We carefully protect your Katherm HK systems during transport and assembly. Every trench is provided with environmentally-friendly paper cover to prevent it from becoming soiled during construction. We also offer an optional factory-fitted wooden cover for additional protection in the early interior fit-out phase. We supply the grilles separately and securely packed to guarantee their quality.
The hygiene of Katherm HK units conforms to VDI 6022. Thanks to their well-thought-out design, they can be thoroughly cleaned with ease in accordance with the requirements of the Hygiene Directive VDI 6022. The condensate tray, which can be pulled out toward the room, enables the tray to be completely cleaned, making the Katherm HK hygienically flawless.
The heat and cooling outputs of the Katherm HK are measured in accordance with the test standard DIN EN 16430, Parts 1 to 3, a standard that specifically takes into account the installation conditions for trench systems. Our freely accessible calculation programs provide for precise design of the trenches, including calculation of heat outputs, mass flows and water resistances. This gives you reliable performance data for your project planning.
Immediately after calculating your Katherm HK performance data, we create a technical data sheet with all the information about your configuration. Simply download and you have all the product details, descriptions and technical drawings ready – clearly arranged and specially tailored to your project!
