Heat recovery systems and their need

 A heat recovery system is a common sighting in airtight homes. HRV or a heat recovery ventilation system is also called as mechanical ventilation heat recovery. Primarily, it is an energy recovery ventilation system that uses an exchanger to recover wasted heat, and during the process it also supplies fresh, filtered air to improve the indoor environment.

You should know that Heat Recovery Systems work independently from the heating system. Because of it recovering heat that generally gets lost, it ensures great savings on energy bills.

A heat recovery system virtually avoids condensation and mould within a building by ensuring proper ventilation. The advantage is that it helps knocks out the risks of structural and cosmetic damage. A highly efficient heat recovery system can ensure maximum heat recovery, up to 90% that may get lost through extraction.

What can you expect from efficient Heat Recovery Systems?

·         Improved indoor air quality

·         Up to 90% of heat recovered of the extracted air

·         Creates a futuristic home

·         Removal of dampness, condensation and mould

·         Ensures better management of heating costs, thus reducing fuel costs

·         Cut-down heating costs

·         Creates a healthy environment indoors

From the discussion, one can conclude that the benefits of heat recovery systems are beyond the heat recovery. In the process, the systems offer much more than you can think.

Heat recovery ventilation technology comes in several configurations to suit different building needs. There are wall-mounted units, ceiling mounted units and also horizontal floor units to serve the purpose.

Experts suggest using a counterflow heat exchanger for better heat recovery and less power consumption, with the benefits of not mixing air streams.
