Installation of recuperators

Recuperator Installation

Professional installation of PRANA recuperators is available for residential and industrial systems, taking into account the specific requirements of each property. Specialists help select equipment, determine its location, and calculate installation costs for apartments, houses, offices, and industrial facilities.

PRANA Recuperator Installation: Which Systems We Install

PRANA installs decentralized models for individual rooms and centralized systems for large properties. Wall-mounted units are installed without a ductwork network, while industrial solutions sometimes require additional design work and, in some cases, duct installation and commissioning.

Installing a Decentralized Recuperator

Decentralized PRANA recuperators are installed in the exterior wall of an apartment, house, office, educational facility, or small commercial space. Residential models do not require a ductwork network and serve an individual room or zone.

Before work begins, a specialist selects the location, taking into account the wall construction, furniture placement, power supply, and access to the facade. An opening is made using diamond core drilling, after which the equipment is installed, connected, and tested. Under standard conditions, the process takes approximately 2 hours and leaves the existing interior finishes intact.

Professional recuperator installation ensures correct equipment positioning and proper air exchange. The drilling location is selected after assessing the wall and the room.

Installing Centralized Recuperators

A centralized system serves several rooms through a ductwork network. These solutions are used in industrial facilities, swimming pools, shopping and office centers, hotels, restaurants, cafés, and sports complexes.

The work includes system design, equipment selection, duct installation, and installation of the recuperator and automatic controls. This is followed by connection, commissioning, and putting the system into operation. Centralized ventilation is calculated individually for each property.

What to Consider Before Installing a Recuperator

Information about the property is collected before installation to select a model, account for any limitations, and define the scope of work.

The following information is needed for the calculation:

• the type and purpose of the space;
• its floor area and layout;
• the number of occupants and how the property is used;
• the material and thickness of exterior walls;
• the condition of interior finishes, installation location, and access to the facade;
• the availability of a power supply near the installation point;
• airflow capacity and control requirements;
• for a centralized system, information about industrial processes and existing building services.

For a typical room, photographs, dimensions, and a floor plan may be sufficient. A complex property will require a specialist’s visit, inspection, and measurements.

Stages of Recuperator Installation and Connection

The sequence depends on the system type. Centralized ventilation also requires ductwork design and installation.

The main stages are:

1. Consultation and collection of initial information.
2. Property inspection and measurements, if required.
3. Model selection or development of a system design.
4. Agreement on the equipment configuration, cost estimate, and work date.
5. Preparation of the installation area and openings of the required diameter.
6. Installation of equipment, ductwork, and automatic controls according to the design.
7. Electrical connection and control setup.
8. Commissioning and system testing.

After startup, the system is ready for use. To maintain its performance, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and arrange timely servicing.

What Standard Recuperator Installation Includes

There is no single installation package for all properties. The scope is determined after assessing the room, installation location, and selected equipment. For a typical decentralized model, basic work usually includes marking out, diamond core drilling, installation, connection, setup, and testing.

Additional work may include:

• drilling through a wall of nonstandard construction or thickness;
• work at height or difficult access to the facade;
• running electrical wiring or relocating the power supply point;
• removing structures or old equipment;
• additional materials and finishing work;
• installation of ductwork, automatic controls, and auxiliary equipment.

Additional tasks are agreed upon in advance. When ordering a recuperator with installation, the customer receives a calculation tailored to their property, without unnecessary work being included in the package.

Recuperator Installation Price and the Cost of Additional Work

The cost is calculated individually based on the equipment model, installation conditions, and required tasks. There is no single fixed price: identical recuperators may be installed in walls of different construction, at different heights, and with varying access to the facade.

The price of recuperator installation depends on:

• the equipment model and the diameter of the installation opening;
• the wall material and thickness;
• access to the installation point from inside the room and from the facade;
• the need for work at height or removal work;
• the electrical connection method;
• additional materials and equipment;
• the project scale and commissioning complexity.

When recuperator installation is ordered, the price is determined after assessing the property. A specialist will prepare an individual calculation for the main and additional work so that the total cost can be agreed upon before the installation team visits.

How to Order PRANA Recuperator Installation

Installation can be ordered through the website or a PRANA representative. For a preliminary calculation, provide the city, property type, room specifications, condition of interior finishes, and the selected model, if one has already been chosen.

The next steps are:

1. Submit an inquiry and your contact details.
2. Provide the specialist with initial information, photographs, or a floor plan.
3. Receive a consultation and an equipment recommendation.
4. Arrange a specialist’s visit and measurements, if required.
5. Approve the scope of work, individual price, and installation date.
