Heat recovery
efficiency
The right level of efficiency for your RAC3MX unit will depend on the conditions at your site and written guidelines such as the Eco Design Commission Regulation (EU) No 1253/2014. Operating data such as energy prices, useful life, running times, temperatures, maintenance costs, and interest rates. When you take into account (EU) No 1253/2014, profitability, and environmental protection, the heat recovery efficiency should be no less than 68%. This can reach around 73% under the right circumstances.
This is a system best suited for buildings in which the occupancy rate can vary greatly throughout the day or experience seasonal occupancy. Additionally, when the outside air conditions are correct – usually during mid-season weather – the ambient temperature may be suitable for free cooling. In these conditions the mixing damper will close, and the system will use full fresh air for optimum energy efficiency. When fresh air is not required such as during periods of non-occupancy, the mixing damper can be automatically set to full recirculation.
