Recycling Air – International

Prevention is better than cure … how to approach the risk of Radon? . The hormesis applied to the Radon risk. Radon is not a risk in itself, being a […]

. As our homes become more energy efficient, paradoxically they become more hazardous to our health, because allergens and harmful indoor fumes from paint, plastics, carpets, adhesives, and household products […]

. Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) refers to the recapture of energy typically lost through the building ventilation process. Conditioned air that is routinely being exhausted from both residential and commercial […]

. The main goals of ERVs/HRVs, besides the energy recovery, are to ensure air quality and high comfort thanks to: 1. a constant air change, for an optimal oxygenation and […]

. Sorry for the provocative question, but the most of the energy goes outside thru the window, the most of the heat that we produce for heating or the most […]

. Indoor air quality is a growing concern. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the air quality inside homes may be up to 70 times worse than that of […]

. A modern house (Class A) well insulated and sealed allows you to recover, thanks to an ERV, up 45% of the consumed energy. But I would like to proceed […]

. A properly operating air conditioner will not only lower the temperature in your house, but will also lower the humidity level. This prevents an uncomfortable cold and damp situation. […]

. The enthalpic core will allow moisture to be transferred from a humid air flow to a dry air flow. This property is useful in the cooling season if an […]

. An ERV is recommended for warm, humid areas with heavy air conditioning use. As there is no defrost in an ERV it is not recommended for areas where the […]

. What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV? The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat from one air stream to the other. This is […]

. Enthalpy is the term used to describe the energy content of air. This energy is a combination of the sensible and latent heat. Therefore, a core which transfers energy […]

. How much energy can I recover recycling air? From 30 to 45% of energy consumed. Because, 40 to 50% of the total energy consumed is the energy contained in […]
