2. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1. INTRODUCTION
ORKA ensures optimal ventilation of the house with maximum energy recovery. Stale air is extracted from the “wet”
rooms (bathrooms, toilets, laundry rooms, etc.) and fresh air is supplied into the main “habitable” rooms (living
room, bedrooms,studys,...).
Both airfl ows are fi ltered before forwarding to the heat recovery unit, where warmth from the stale, outgoing air is
transferred to the cooler incoming airfl ow. The unit performance can reach:
• HR: 92%
• ST:70%
