Air Handling & Heat Recovery System

Eurotech Renewables is a company that specializes in providing a complete range of Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Heat Recovery Units (HRUs) for various applications. AHUs and HRUs are essential components of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems and play a crucial role in ensuring indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and comfort in buildings.

Air Handling Units (AHUs):

AHUs are devices used to circulate, filter, and condition air within a building. They typically consist of a fan, heating and cooling coils, filters, dampers, and controls. AHUs draw in outside air, filter it, and then distribute it to various areas of the building through a network of ducts. They can also incorporate heating and cooling functions to control the temperature of the supplied air. AHUs are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to provide ventilation, control humidity, and maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

Heat Recovery Units (HRUs):

HRUs are designed to recover and reuse the heat that is typically lost in the exhaust air of a building. These units extract the heat from the outgoing air and transfer it to the incoming fresh air stream, reducing the energy required to heat or cool the incoming air. HRUs are especially beneficial in buildings with high ventilation requirements, as they help improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs. They are widely used in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and other applications where fresh air exchange is necessary.

Eurotech Renewables offers a complete range of AHUs and HRUs, which may include different sizes, configurations, and features to meet the specific needs of different buildings and projects. Their products are likely designed to meet high energy efficiency standards, incorporate advanced controls for optimal performance, and comply with relevant regulations and certifications.

When considering AHUs and HRUs for a particular project, it’s essential to consult with Eurotech Renewables or a qualified HVAC professional to determine the appropriate sizing, system configuration, and integration with other HVAC components to ensure efficient and effective operation.

Geothermal Heating System

Air Handling & Heat Recovery System

The benefits of Heat Recovery Ventilation include:

Geothermal Heating System
  • Health:

    Filtered fresh air is circulated throughout your home day and night. On average most people spend over 80% of their time indoors. 50% of all illnesses are either caused by or aggravated by poor indoor air quality. The HRV System will continuously remove stale moist air from your home creating a more suitable and healthier place to live.

  • Energy Efficiency:

    A HRV system will save you money and reduce your energy requirements for heating by re-using the heat that is normally lost through poor construction. A HRV system is also designed to operate continuously at a low rate to minimise the electrical energy consumption.

  • Condensation Control:

    All water vapour will be removed as it is produced. As a result, there is no moisture condensation which causes rot, damp, condensation or mould growth.

     

  • Comfort:

    Comfort levels are superior in a house fitted with a HRV system. Irrespective of weather conditions draught free balanced ventilation is provided all the time.

How to implement Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Heat Recovery Units (HRUs)?

Implementing Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Heat Recovery Units (HRUs) involves several steps to ensure proper installation and integration within a building’s HVAC system. Here’s a general outline of the process:

  • Assess the requirements:

    Determine the specific requirements of the building, such as the size, occupancy, ventilation rates, and heating/cooling loads. This information will help determine the capacity and features needed for the AHUs and HRUs.

  • Design and selection:

    Work with a qualified HVAC engineer or consultant to design the system layout and select appropriate AHUs and HRUs based on the requirements. Consider factors such as air volume, filtration efficiency, energy recovery efficiency, noise levels, and available space for equipment installation.

  • Ductwork design:

    Design the ductwork system to distribute the conditioned air from the AHUs to various areas of the building. Consider factors such as airflow rates, pressure drops, and noise control to ensure efficient and balanced air distribution.

  • Installation:

    Hire a professional HVAC contractor to install the AHUs, HRUs, and associated ductwork. Ensure that the installation follows manufacturer guidelines, local building codes, and safety regulations. Proper placement of the units and routing of ductwork is crucial for optimal performance.

  • Electrical and control connections:

    Connect the AHUs and HRUs to the electrical power supply and integrate them into the building automation or control system. This allows for centralized control and monitoring of the units’ operation, including fan speeds, temperature setpoints, and energy recovery modes.

  • Maintenance and monitoring:

    Develop a regular maintenance plan to keep the AHUs and HRUs in optimal condition. This includes filter replacements, cleaning coils, inspecting fans and motors, and checking control settings. Monitoring the units’ performance through the building automation system or periodic inspections helps identify any issues or efficiency improvements.

  • Commissioning and testing:

    After installation, commissioning and testing should be conducted to ensure that the AHUs and HRUs are functioning correctly. This involves verifying airflow rates, balancing the system, checking for air leaks, and testing the heat recovery efficiency. Adjustments and fine-tuning may be required to optimize performance.

AIR HANDLING & HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Types of air handling ventilation systems.

There are several types of air handling ventilation systems used in various settings. Here are some common types:

Supply-only ventilation:

This system provides fresh air from the outside to a building or a specific space, typically using fans or mechanical ventilation units.

Exhaust-only ventilation:

This type of ventilation relies on exhaust fans to remove stale or polluted air from a building or specific areas. Fresh air enters the building through natural means, such as open windows or cracks.

Balanced ventilation:

Balanced ventilation systems use both supply and exhaust mechanisms to provide fresh air while simultaneously expelling stale air. This helps maintain a balanced airflow within the building.

Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) or Energy recovery ventilation (ERV): HRV or ERV systems are designed to recover heat or energy from the exhaust air before it is expelled. The recovered heat or energy is then used to pre-condition the incoming fresh air, improving energy efficiency.

Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV):

DCV systems adjust the ventilation rates based on the occupancy or level of pollutants in a space. This type of system helps optimize energy usage by providing ventilation when needed.

Underfloor ventilation:

This ventilation system is specifically designed for spaces with raised floors. It uses the voids beneath the raised floor to distribute fresh air throughout the area.

Natural ventilation:

Natural ventilation relies on natural forces such as wind, temperature differences, and buoyancy to move air in and out of a building. It can be achieved through strategically placed windows, vents, or other openings.

These are some of the common types of air handling ventilation systems, but there may be variations and combinations based on specific requirements and building designs. It’s always best to consult with an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) professional for guidance on selecting the appropriate ventilation system for a particular application.
