Cut Wasted Heat

With the ever-growing emphasis on energy efficiency, new ways are constantly being developed to cut down on wasted heat. Heat recovery systems collect and re-use heat in a cost-effective way. The recovered heat can either be directed to another purpose or used to reduce the overall energy consumption of a process.

One of the most common uses of heat recovery in homes and offices is in ventilation systems. As buildings become more and more well insulated and weather tight, there is a danger that air quality can be compromised. Fresh air is vital for safeguarding the health of occupants, but the most basic form of ventilation – opening a window – can lead to a huge loss of heat in winter and uncomfortable warmth in summer. Mechanical methods such as fans in air handling units also lose heat energy when the air is extracted from a room. Heat recovery units offer a way of achieving comfortable ventilation and improved climate control while reducing the need to add heat to incoming air.
