Heat Recovery The supply of fresh air to a classroom can result in wasted energy. The air in the classroom will contain heat energy, which may have been supplied at a cost (both financial and environmental) by the school. By using one of Daikin’s Heat Recovery Ventilation units a large proportion of this energy can be recovered.
The heat exchange element uses a high efficiency paper (HEP) possessing superior moisture absorption and humidifying properties. The heat exchange unit speedily recovers heat contained in latent heat (vapour). The element is made of a material with flame resistant properties and is treated with an anti-moulding agent.
From Daikin’s Heat Recovery Ventilation range the model VAM1000FA is eminently suited to classroom use, having a supply and extract volume of 278 litres per second, making it ideal for a class size of up to 34 people at 8 litres per second per person (34 x 8 litres = 272 litres). HRV units can be controlled individually or integral with the air conditioning system (Daikin VRV or Sky Air series).
“Fresh-up” operation allows a positive or negative pressure to be applied to the ventilated space meaning that odours and contaminants can be contained.
