Rotary recuperator

  • An aluminium plate rotor containing air flow channels is installed on bearings in the ventilation unit with a rotary heat exchanger. The exhaust air heats up the rotor and this heat is used to heat the supply air.
  • In this type of equipment, supply and exhaust air are slightly mixed – 2% to 5%.
  • Thus, there is a minimal possibility of transmitting odours from exhaust air to supply air.
  • The rotary heat exchanger partially recovers humidity from exhaust air, which is important during the winter period when the relative humidity of the outdoor air is low.
  • There is no possibility of condensate formation in the rotary heat exchanger, which eliminates the risk that the equipment may freeze.
  • It should be noted that at very low outdoor temperatures the effectiveness of this type of recuperator will reduce.
