Recuperation - mechanical ventilation
Bearing in mind the care for the comfort of customers, we could not omit recuperation in our offer - that is, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. This system has a significant impact on the well-being and health of users - it ensures a constant supply of fresh air, which is necessary in the case of rooms with a significant number of people. It can be installed in both business and private facilities. Thanks to the devices used, the used air is removed and replaced with fresh, moist and oxygenated air.
Why is it worth taking care of indoor air quality?
The quality of the air inside the rooms where we stay has a great impact on the quality of life as well as our well-being and concentration. It is related to:
- the amount of carbon dioxide in the air - in unventilated interiors there is more of it than in permanently ventilated ones;
- pollutants such as dust, allergens or unpleasant odors;
- inadequate air humidity.
Traditional airing of rooms and the use of gravity ventilation do not always work adequately to the needs. For proper ventilation of rooms, there must be appropriate thermal conditions that will force the air to move in the ventilation chimneys. What's more, these systems are also associated with large losses of heat energy, which "escapes" from the room with the used air. Moreover, the access of fresh air to the rooms is difficult due to the better insulation of the building and the use of airtight windows. Therefore, recuperation is an indispensable element of modern energy-efficient and passive buildings.
What is recuperation?
Recuperation is a mechanical exhaust and supply ventilation system with heat recovery. Fresh, cold air is drawn in from the outside of the building and then heated in a paper cross-flow heat exchanger, recovering the energy contained in the used exhaust air from the room. In summer, when the indoor air is cooler than the outdoor air, the opposite is true. The recuperator recovers heat from the removed air, thanks to which warmer air is supplied to the rooms than immediately after opening the window. The entire process is almost silent and uses minimal energy.
What do you gain from recuperation:
health,
excellent well-being,
full concentration,
comfortable sleep,
high savings in heating,
optimal air humidity - perfectly moisturized skin and upper respiratory tract.
Advantages of recuperation:
Savings of 70% in space heating and cooling.
Always fresh and adequately oxygenated indoor air.
The air is free of pollutants such as dust, allergens, dusts, odors, etc.
The possibility of using additional filters to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
Friendly temperature throughout the house, both in summer and winter.
Why is it worth having recuperation?
The most important advantage of recuperation is the saving of energy needed to heat the building in winter and cool it in summer - even up to 70%. Regardless of the season, the user can enjoy fresh air in the optimal amount without the need to open windows and without annoying noises. Thanks to the use of filters, the supply air is clean of impurities and free of allergens.
Recuperation is of paramount importance in special rooms, such as kitchens, hospitals, laboratories, etc. A balance between supply and exhaust air is required here, so that unwanted odors and moisture do not get into other rooms.
Take care of your health
Moisture recovery is important not only for our health, but also for the condition of the building in which we live or work.
Conventional ventilation causes high heat losses, and thanks to recuperation, the exhaust air stream transfers heat to the supply air, thus significantly reducing heat losses on winter days. The heat exchanger recovers up to 75% of the heat. In summer, the cold is recovered from the air.
Thus, recuperators can serve us all year round, eliminating the effects of poor ventilation, such as headaches, distraction, drowsiness or discomfort related to improper temperature and humidity.
Choose ecology
Recuperation is an essential element of newly built facilities. It can also be installed in existing buildings. Without it, energy-efficient and passive buildings will not function properly. It allows ecological management of not only indoor air purity, but also thermal energy consumption. This solution is compatible with other ecological systems - for example, it perfectly complements photovoltaics, which can provide electricity necessary for the operation of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. As a result, recuperation will not generate any costs, providing the users of the facility with only benefits.
Recuperation and air conditioning - is it worth using both systems?
The use of a recuperation facility does not exclude the installation of air conditioning and vice versa. What's more - both systems perfectly complement each other, resulting in full optimization of costs related to the use of electricity. The use of recuperation - i.e. mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, not only recovers thermal energy (heat when heating and cool when cooling) and returns it back to the room, but also significantly reduces the costs associated with obtaining the appropriate air temperature by air conditioning systems. As a result, the latter work shorter and less intensively, therefore they consume much less electricity than in buildings without recuperation.
Recuperation installation - put on proven solutions and professional service
Efficient recuperation is the same benefit for users - clean and fresh air regardless of the season, minimizing heat loss and recovering thermal energy that can be used for heating or cooling rooms will be appreciated by all users. The low operating costs of the system, which does not require a large amount of electricity to operate, are also important.
At the same time, the efficiency of the recuperation system depends on the correct installation and a properly prepared technical design, taking into account the amount of air supplied to a specific room, the diameter of the pipes and the model of the diffuser that will supply the air to the room. It is worth remembering that without a technical design, recuperation will generally be built in a way that is not optimal for a given room / facility, and this may consequently lead to the necessity of changes in the assembly or even complete reconstruction of the mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. Hence, the choice of a company that will professionally perform recuperation in the building is of key importance for the success of this investment.
