WHY AN ENTHALPY EXCHANGER?

Ventilation means that a lot of dry air enters your home in winter. Under normal circumstances, moisture is removed along with the foul air. With an enthalpy exchanger, the moisture produced indoors that is created by washing, showering, cooking and breathing is not fully removed from the atmosphere; part of it is transferred to the clean air entering the dwelling. This helps prevent the air in your home from becoming excessively dry.

Particularly dry air indoors may imperceptibly cause, or aggravate, health problems. Low air humidity in your home may also create the conditions for respiratory complaints or a dry cough. Not just people, but also animals, plants and wooden floors, artworks and musical instruments may suffer due to dry air indoors. So it is very important not to entirely expel moisture produced indoors by cooking, washing and showering, for instance. An enthalpy exchanger ensures that a substantial portion of the moisture present is transferred to the filtered air that enters your home. This helps achieve the moisture balance in the air. In the summer months, if the outdoor temperature rises to levels that would be uncomfortable indoors, an enthalpy exchanger ensures that the relative humidity indoors does not rise too high. Heat and moist outdoor air are prevented from entering.
