Ventilation systems use heat exchangers to heat intake air by using energy from the exhausted air. Up to 83% of the energy from the exhaust can be recovered. This number is referred to as the “Temperature Transfer Efficiency” or the “Heat Exchange Rate” and is a measure of how efficient the heat exchanger is. Heat exchangers wear out over time. An older heat exchanger will not be as efficient as when it was new. Correct installation is required for the heat exchanger to perform optimally

Solution

Temperature sensors on internal and external intake and exhaust vents logs actual temperatures over a given time period

Actual Temperature Transfer Efficiency is calculated using the average temperatures logged during the operational hours of the ventilation system

Energy cost of ventilation system is calculated taking into account the Temperature Transfer Efficiency, average outdoor temperature, air volume, and hours of operation.

The analysis will show if the ventilation system is working efficiently or if it is time to install a new heat exchanger.

What you get

  • Neuron Temperature sensors with IP67 rating that withstand dusty and humid environments, which is normal in a ventilation system.
  • Electronic logs of internal and external intake and exhaust temperatures, which are used to analyse the efficiency of the ventilation system.
