Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) prove to be ideal for improving indoor air quality at cheaper energy costs. By bringing fresh air into your space these systems are also efficient at shrinking the energy consumption often expected from ventilation. In this blog, if you’re looking for an affordable and high-quality ERV system, we will walk you through the benefits and some of Astberg’s top products.
What is an ERV System?
An Energy Recovery ventilator (ERV) is a kind of mechanical ventilation system that combines fresh air and energy saving by recovering heat and moisture from outgoing air. That’s a process that guarantees that the indoor environment of the best air quality and minimum use of energy.
Key Functions of ERV Systems:
Fresh Air Supply: Fresh outdoor air is brought in by ERVs to improve indoor air quality balancing dust and carbon dioxide.
Heat and Moisture Recovery: They are energy efficient because they transfer heat and moisture from the one that is exhausted to the incoming one.
Energy Efficiency: ERVs save energy because in climates with extreme weather incoming air requires less energy to heat or cool.
Benefits of ERV Systems
Improved Indoor Air Quality
If you have an ERV system, then you always have a source of fresh air that can clean out the pollutants and keep the air fresh. Especially in homes and businesses that are sealed for a long time.
Energy Efficiency
Today’s ventilation systems have traditionally relied on a lot of energy to heat or cool incoming air. An ERV recycles incoming air and outgoing air, recovering energy from the outgoing air, which recovers that energy and conditions incoming air more efficiently, thus reducing the loading on your heating and cooling system.
Moisture Control
Mold and mildew often arise from excess moisture indoors. ERVs help maintain a balanced moisture level — transferring moisture between incoming and outgoing air and keeping your indoor environment protected.
Reduced HVAC Load
ERVs help reduce your HVAC system’s workload by pre-conditioning incoming air. Besides helping with the energy bills, this will also stretch your HVAC equipment’s lifespan.
How Does an ERV System Work?
1. Air Exchange Process
An ERV passes the incoming and outgoing air streams through the heat exchanger. Within streams, heat and moisture are transferred between air streams moving throughout. It in this way, makes sure that incoming air comes in at a temperature and humidity that are at a more comfortable level and then doesn’t need any additional energy input from the HVAC system to perform its job of bringing the air inside, making the room comfortable.
2. Heat and Moisture Transfer
ERVs transfer heat and moisture from the outside air to the air on the inside of the wall of an air-conditioned house (or office) to prevent the building from drying out or getting too humid.
3. Efficiency and Comfort
ERVs effectively decrease energy consumption and contribute to your savings thus protecting your home or business from being uncomfortable, too cold, or too hot, while not vastly increasing your energy bills.
