Know About Ventilation for Heat Recovery

Ventilation is a necessity for everyone’s place. Everyone likes open places instead of enclosed ones. A house or even a single room without ventilation suffocates people a lot. It is the foremost need of a person who is planning to buy a new house. People keep ventilation in their mind while designing their upcoming home space.

People are more concerned about ventilation in washrooms because it actually demands ventilation. For washrooms, both cleanliness and ventilation are important. A variety of ventilation fans are available in the market so that people employ it in their washrooms and let the foul smell go away.

Why heat recovery the system is needed?

The main aim of designing a heat recovery system is to maintain the desired comfort level. It helps in supplying conditioned air to the relevant space. Heat recovery ventilation improves the ventilation system installed inside the house. It basically recovers the heat which is coming from the internal environment of the house.

Heat recovery the system works on the principle of thermal energy, also known as enthalpy. In this process, the thermal energy is transferred from one fluid to other fluid, from one fluid to one solid. All of this occurs in thermal contact and at different temperatures. In a lot of applications of heat recovery systems, people observe fluid leakage. The main reason for this leakage is pressure differences.

How to hold the heat

A heat-recovery ventilator works exactly similar to a balanced ventilation system. The main difference is that the former uses the heat in the outgoing unpleasant air to warm up the fresh air. A typical heat recovery arrangement consists of two fans—one to get in the fresh air and another to throw out the household air.

The heat-exchange core is the most unique feature of heat-recovery ventilator (HRV). The main role of this core is to transfer heat from the outgoing stream to the incoming stream. It consists of narrow alternating passages through which outgoing and incoming airstreams flow. As the streams are moving through the passage, the heat is transferred from the warm side to the cold side of the passage. And the best part is the mixing of airstreams never happen.

These ventilators can be cost-effective also because they have the capability of recovering more than 80 percent of the heat in the outgoing airflow.

Mechanical ventilation

One variety of such ventilation is also positive pressure ventilation. This kind of ventilation is used in specific conditions when people are unable to breathe on their own. An instrument called positive pressure ventilator is extensively used in the medical field to help patients breathe when they cannot on their own.

Mechanical ventilation works on some common aspects it is possible to set air pressure, timing and flow of each breath by the operator. A patient is made to breathe explicitly by synchronizing its own breathing mechanism with that of ventilator’s rhythm. In this kind of ventilation, the air which is a kind of gas mix is

pushed into the lungs of the patient through the airways.
