Heat recovery air exchangers
A breath of fresh air for your home
In the winter, fresh air is cold air. And your home and
business are built to keep the cold air out. But you can keep
the air inside fresh year-round and conserve energy at the same
time with the use of a heat-recovery air exchanger, also called
an air-to-air heat exchanger.
An average home should have at least .35 air changes per hour
(ACH). Newer, high-efficiency homes generally have ACH of less
than .35, with many as low as .05, which leads to poor air
quality and consequent health conditions such as headaches and
allergies. They are required by new construction building codes
in some states.
In addition to providing a fresh air supply, air exchangers
help reduce allergens and unhealthy indoor air pollutants such
as radon and smoke.
Heat-recovery air exchangers capture up to 85 percent of the
heat from indoor air and transfer it to the fresh incoming air
before exhausting.
Heat-recovery air exchangers capture heat from stale
moist air and transfer that heat to the fresh air intake so
that your heating system will not have to work so hard to
condition that air. |
Benefits
- Provide a constant, controlled
supply of fresh air to your home.
- Control build up of excess
moisture from daily activities such as showers, whirlpools,
and cooking.
- Reduce the concentration of
allergens such as pollen, dust, and dander.
- Reduce unhealthy indoor air
pollutants, such as formaldehyde and smoke, and those emitted
from
- Reduce unhealthy indoor air
pollutants, such as formaldehyde and smoke, and those emitted
from paints, sprays, and cleansers.
Features
- High-capacity blowers move a large
volume of air quickly.
- You can adjust the control of
airflow rates.
- The exchanger filters incoming air
supply.
- Controls such as programmable
timer and a remote dehumidistat are available.
