Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) - Basic & Quality System Differences
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is increasingly used for controlled ventilation in new and existing buildings. The tightness of buildings and lack of ventilation leads to problems such as mould and poor air quality, in addition to reduced comfort for occupants. High rise buildings with apartments and flats are a prime example of where MVHR units are used to effectively ventilate each room. Very often we will receive enquiries from domestic users who complain that their units are very noisy or seem ineffective, lots of these people confuse their MVHR with an air conditioner. To learn about the principles behind MVHR read here.
We are no experts on finished heat recovery units, but we do work with MVHR manufacturers every day supplying industrial fans for use in these units. The fan is an integral part of these, and most, ventilation systems. We are experts in fans and fan integration so ask us any questions freely via email, or on the live chat, but in this article, we look at the difference between basic and quality MVHR systems.
