Poor air exchange is a widespread problem in modern housing. Often even in living rooms with a fresh renovation you can see fungus and mold on the walls. Residents of apartments and private houses notice that after replacement of old wooden windows for sealed windows in the building the humidity of the air increases, condensation appears on the windows, the surfaces liquefy. But only few people know that the problem is not in the season, the manufacturer of window structures or repairs, all blame – poor ventilation of the premises.

What was it like before? Loosely pressed windows and transoms allowed fresh air to penetrate into the dormitory, and humid air to escape into the street. This is a classic application of natural ventilation of the premises, which was widely used until the end of the 20th century. With the advent of sealed PVC windows on the way to reducing heat loss, the quality of natural ventilation of the premises significantly degraded, because the closed plastic windows practically do not let the air in or out.

There are simple rules that allow you to avoid fungus and mold in the house.
  • The main thing – to organize an effective inspection of the premises at any time of the year.
  • At any time do not try to destroy the fungus and mold by water, it will only increase the negative effects.
  • Carefully use special means for fungus and mold removal in the house, mechanically remove the dark plaque on the surfaces.

The last point raises a lot of questions for the layman. Ordinary ventilation of the apartment by opening windows is not comfortable in the hot season, when the premises operates air conditioning and in the cold heating period (especially in case of individual gas heating).

To organize the mechanical ventilation of the premises use supply and exhaust units. If ventilation is safe, such a ventilating unit ensures the inflow of fresh and exhausted air at the same time and without mixing of air flows. The greatest energy saving is achieved by ventilation with air recuperation, which provides savings of up to 92% of heat (cold in the air-conditioning season) in the premises.

PRANA recuperators – a mono-block designed for ventilation of rooms of different purposes. Uniquely designed copper heat exchanger enables to combine preservation of comfortable room temperature with efficient ventilation. The main feature of Prana recuperators is creation and maintenance of healthy indoor climate (balancing the level of humidity, temperature, air purity at ionic level).

Controlled air exchange + moisture control = Prevention of blooms and fungi

PRANA ventilation systems eliminate two main causes of fungus and mold: air stagnation and increased air humidity. The recuperator is easy to operate and control using a remote control or a mobile add-on.
