Heat recovery units

What are heat recovery units and what are they used for?

Heat recovery units are devices that allow to take advantage of the heat from the air that is extracted from a space to heat or cool the air that is introduced in the same space. In this way, energy savings and thermal comfort improvement are achieved. Heat recovery units are used in mechanical ventilation systems, especially in buildings that require constant air renewal, such as offices, clinics, commercial premises, etc. Some of the advantages of heat recovery units are:

• They reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by decreasing the heating or cooling demand.
• They improve indoor air quality by eliminating pollutants, odours and humidity.
• They increase the efficiency of air conditioning equipment by reducing the thermal load.
• They allow to regulate the temperature and humidity of the air according to the needs of each space.
