Name
LVC
Technical purpose of product or process For low airflow velocities and low duct pressures. Circular VAV terminal units for supply air and extract air systems with variable. volume flows, low airflow velocities and low duct pressures. For more information see: https://www.trox.no/vav/lvc-ec06f3278cea1b1e Circular VAV terminal units for variable air volume systems with low airflow velocities, suitable for supply or extract air, available in four nominal sizes. Measurement and control of low volume flow rates based on a new measurement principle. Plastic nozzle with damper blade for measuring the effective pressure upstream and downstream of the damper blade. The relation between damper blade position and differential pressure is stored as a characteristic relationship in the Easy or Compact controller. This results in high control accuracy even in case of unfavourable upstream conditions. Selection based on nominal size determination. Ready-to-commission unit which consists of the mechanical parts and the electronic control components Units are equipped with a plastic nozzle with integral damper blade. The averaging effective pressure sensor is resistant to contamination. Spigots with double lip seal, suitable for ducts to EN 1506 or EN 13180. Position of the damper blade indicated externally at shaft extension. Damper blade is factory set to open position which allows ventilation airflow even without control. Closed blade air leakage to EN 1751, class 2 (nominal sizes 160 – 250, class 1). Casing air leakage to EN 1751, class C. Meets the hygiene requirements of EN 16798, Part 3, of VDI 6022, Sheet 1, and of DIN 1946, Part 4. This EPD includes the environmental data of the product series LVC. The following represents a representative dataset of the most sold variant in the declared sales year (LVC/125/V00).

  • EPDNorge: Construction / Ventilation components
General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Energy, water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
