Decentralized heat recovery units provide continuous ventilation without the need for ductwork, as they are installed directly into the exterior wall. The heat exchanger core charges every 65 seconds, after which the fan reverses, allowing incoming air to absorb the stored heat. This creates a remarkably quiet heat recovery ventilation system that operates efficiently without the need for complex ductwork or balancing.
The basic unit features a through-wall fan coupled with a ceramic regenerative heat exchanger. These fans deliver continuous ventilation without the need for ducts and are easily installed directly into the exterior wall. When operating in heat recovery mode, the fan can save over 30% more energy compared to a standard exhaust fan.
The heat recovery efficiency can reach up to 97% when air first enters the heat exchanger, enabling significant energy recovery from the room and reducing the load on the heating system during winter. Additionally, the use of a ceramic regenerator and antibacterial coatings enhances the system’s efficiency and longevity.
