V - Application
MiniCore ventilators are used as a stand alone indoor
option for heat recovery ventilators used in light
commercial applications. These ventilators conserve
energy by transferring heat energy across two opposing
air streams using a polymer core heat exchanger. This
process works in the summer by rejecting the heat energy
from incoming intake air and in the winter by conserving
the heat energy from the exhaust air, allowing outdoor
ventilation rates to be increased by factors of three
or
more without additional energy penalty or increase in size
of the heating or air conditioning systems.
