Frequently asked questions

What’s energy recovery ventilator(ERV)?

ERV stands for Energy Recovery Ventilator, and is regularly referred to as an air exchanger and an ERV ventilation system. They are designed to be connected into the HVAC system in your home, office, or any other building. They pull fresh, clean air into the building and take out stale/unclean air. They consist of two fans and a heat exchanger that makes it possible to transfer heat and moisture between the two air streams. It transfers the heat and moisture in order for the building to retain heat while in operation, which is obviously quite important during the winter months. As well as swapping out “dirty” air for clean, ERVs also trap pollutants, contaminants, pollen, allergens and many more. This is extremely important especially now, and it ensures that the air entering the home, office, indoor space is healthy and clean. You may not know that the air within most homes is at least five times more contaminated than the air outside! It is clear that this is a problem as people can spend more than 90% of their time indoors. This is why it is a smart idea to incorporate an air exchanger like an ERV into your home or office space, to get the fresh, clean, and healthy air that everyone deserves.

What is the working principle of the Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilators?

The Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator is composed of two fans for air supply and exhaust, air filters, an energy recovery exchanger, and an intelligent control system. Even though you close the window, the ventilator can supply fresh air indoor after multiple filtration and exhaust polluted air from indoor. The two fans can make the indoor airflow circulate and balanced ventilation. At the same time, the standard heat exchanger can recover the energy of exhaust air and return to the incoming fresh air. Thus, it’s able to make the outdoor air cool in summer and the outdoor air warm in winter with a slight power consumption.

What’s difference between heat recovery and energy recovery?

Heat recovery heat exchangers transfer heat from one air stream to the other, without allowing moisture transfer. This means they are well suited to climates where summer humidity levels are reasonably low.Energy recovery exchangers provide both heat and moisture recovery, allowing moisture to be transferred from the incoming air stream to the outgoing exhaust stream during humid summer conditions, thereby providing dehumidification, which can increase occupant comfort and reduce the risk of mould. They are well suited to higher humidity locations.

Does the Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator consumes a lot of power?

The Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator is energy efficient compared with the air conditioner. It is very eco-friendly even if it works 24 hours a day to pursue the air freshness. For example, a LANTISAIR 350m³/h energy recovery ventilator is suitable for a 150㎡house. This product equips with DC motors. The input power for this model is from 16w to 120w at the low and high speed, while the power consumption is from 0.38KW/day to 2.88KW/day. If the electric price is 0.1USD/kw.h, it only costs 0.38USD to 0.288USD per day. In summary, the energy recovery ventilator is energy-saving.

What are the features of LANTISAIR products?

As the leading manufacturer in China specializing in the production of air-to-air heat recovery equipment, there are two features of LANTISAIR products. LANTISAIR has the independent ability of research, development, and production for heat exchangers, which occupy a significant position in the domestic market and break the foreign techniques monopoly. On the other hand, LANTISAIR always demands the best material for production and meticulous manufacturing technique. For example, LANTISAIR fresh air recovery ventilator adopts high-quality steel, the best motor from a famous national company, and has built up a cooperative partnership with the best national filtration market leader. There have been 10 years of manufacturing technique development in LANTISAIR, which can convince most customers.

What are the advantages of LANTISAIR products?

LANTISAIR is famous for its professional rehabilitation services. It has been focusing on the research, development and manufacturing of ventilation equipment since 2014.
