Reduction of electricity consumption in ventilation

The aim of the project is to achieve electricity savings through development of efficient heat recovery systems for houses. In this connection the central components are ventilators and exchangers, but the regulation of the aggregates will form part of the project too.

Project description

The electricity consumption for ventilators within the field of housing can be reduced by 45 - 70%. The construction of ventilator shovels, design of inlet and outlet and housing for ventilators as well as power transmission can be developed and changed in order to improve the overall efficiency. Heat exchangers for heat recovery units must be developed by means of quite new concepts so that considerably lower electricity consumption for ventilators can be achieved and more efficiency for the heat exchange. This can be achieved by reduced pressure loss and improved heat transmission/larger heat transmission area. More efficient heat exchange will also lead to electricity savings in connection with ventilation systems in houses and institutions where post-heating often takes place by using electricity. In cooperation with a considerable manufacturer within the ventilation trade principal constructions and functional models are intended to be developed
