Offers on the market of energy-saving ventilation are plentiful. Heat recuperator is a term that not only specialists, but also buyers easily operate with today. Ads like «sale and installation of recuperator» are circulating the Internet on large and small bulletin boards, shelves of online stores.

PRANA recuperators are represented by companies in Europe, many cities in Ukraine.

Unscrupulous businessmen often fake our products and pass them off as PRANA recuperators. More than once we managed to detect low-quality plagiarism of our product. At first, such misguided entrepreneurs unconditionally passed off their forgery as «PRANA». But, having received a number of disapproving responses from customers and a rebuff from our company, they went underground. Countless renaming did not change the content of their offer. The stolen illustrations and copy-pasted innovative ideas didn’t affect the inner utensils.

What are you risking by buying a fake?

Usually a fake will be cheaper. Since the under-workers count on the fact that in search of the best, customers tend to get the cheapest and, as a consequence, spend twice as much. Already in the first days of the equipment you will feel the difference.

The Prana Recuperator is the result of numerous scientific studies and the experience of the design team. All shapes, sizes, equipment and materials are not random, carefully thought out by specialists. Before the serial launch of the recuperators Prana are tested in a special climatic laboratory.

Counterfeiters, in order to make the product cheaper, use low-quality materials, and this has a direct impact on the quality of recuperation and operation of the entire unit.

Firstly, the shape and material of the heat exchanger. In Prana recuperators these are specially shaped copper plates, their thickness provides recuperation up to 91%. Moreover, in Prana recuperators we use exclusively German high-quality thin-walled copper.

Cheap copies use completely different materials, and the shape of the recuperator plates is far from the original. So the heat exchange occurs at much lower values.

In addition, copper is a material that due to its natural properties is an unsurpassed conductor of heat and a wonderful antiseptic (as close to silver as possible).

In fake copies usually the heat exchanger is made of the cheapest metal.

Secondly, the shape of the heat exchanger determines the noise performance and the amount of air exchange, and a sufficient flow rate in the ducts ensures the removal of moisture in a dispersed state. Fake systems have incorrect airflow rates, so the recuperators constantly whine and whistle. Moisture is trapped on the heat exchanger and returns to the room in a state of water. Consequently, the whole idea of a decentralized ventilation system is lost: moisture in the room remains, heat is obtained, fungus and dampness spreads even more.

Thirdly, the company «Prana» produces recuperators for individual orders, taking into account the climatic zone of operation, the purpose of the room and its design. That is why «Prana» recuperators for extremely low temperatures (-25 C and less) have a «mini-heating» function that allows uninterrupted operation of the air handling unit even during severe frosts. But the fakes freeze already at the first temperatures below zero.

So it is important to understand: buying fakes you are saving or just wasting your money?

How to distinguish fake from original PRANA recuperator?

1. Check if you have a dealer certificate from the manufacturer or from an official representative of the manufacturer.
2. Presence of the serial number on the duplicated product and registered in the manufacturer’s database. You can verify the serial number by calling the head office of Prana +38(032)-232-53-39.
3. Manufacturing heat exchangers only of high quality German copper.
4. Availability of technical passport and original box.
5. Appearance. It should be understood that unscrupulous manufacturers mostly fake models of Prana recuperators, which have long been removed from production, because they lack the knowledge and equipment to fake new models. That is why you should compare the ventilator with photos of models, which are on the official website of the manufacturer.

In addition PRANA made its pricing policy so that the PRANA model range of recuperators was available to a wide range of customers. We strive to have our concepts change the idea of comfort for an average person. You can always get the actual price from the managers on our website.
