Industrial Ventilation with Heat Recovery & Air Recuperators
An industrial recuperator is a supply and exhaust ventilation system designed for large facilities or specific operating conditions. The PRANA catalog features the 250 and 340S models with copper heat exchangers and ventilation duct connection capabilities. The configuration is selected based on engineering calculations.
Where Are Industrial Recuperators Used?
PRANA systems are installed wherever calculated supply and extraction of air from one or more zones is required. The solution depends on the building’s purpose, the number of occupants, work processes, as well as the area and height of the building.
Main application areas:
- Manufacturing facilities and workshops — air exchange taking into account heat, humidity, and technological emissions;
- Warehouses — elimination of stagnant air;
- Shopping and business centers, HoReCa — air supply taking into account occupancy and operating schedules;
- Swimming pools, fitness clubs, and medical facilities* — taking into account humidity and operating modes;
- Farms — ventilation tailored to the specifics of agricultural premises.
A single industrial-premises recuperator can service a separate zone or operate with a network of air ducts. The configuration is determined after an analysis of the facility.
*Except for operating rooms and premises with elevated sanitary requirements.
How Industrial Ventilation with Heat Recovery Works
The system simultaneously extracts stale air and supplies fresh air, transferring energy between separated flows. PRANA’s copper heat exchanger reduces heat losses in winter and helps maintain coolness in summer.
When a facility requires high-performance ventilation, the industrial recuperator works in conjunction with air ducts. The project may also include filters, heaters (heating elements), or a silencer.
Industrial equipment is designed for larger air volumes and multiple zones. Heat recovery does not replace heating, cooling, or purification; rather, it reduces energy losses during air exchange.
How to Choose an Industrial Recuperator
An industrial recuperator is selected based on air exchange rates, air parameters, existing ventilation, and installation conditions. Floor area alone is not sufficient for the calculation.
Selection requires:
- Floor plan, area, and height of the premises;
- Number of people, work schedule, and technological processes;
- Required air exchange volume;
- Temperature, humidity, dust levels, and current ventilation;
- Space for equipment and duct routing;
- Requirements for automation and additional functions.
Based on this data, an engineer calculates the system and its components. An industrial air recuperator is intended for large facilities, with parameters tailored to the actual load.
Performance of the Industrial Heat Recovery System
Performance refers to the volume of supplied or extracted air per hour, measured in m³/h. It is calculated based on the facility’s parameters and operating mode.
PRANA 250 provides an air supply of up to 650 m³/h and extraction of up to 620 m³/h, while PRANA 340S provides up to 1100 and 1020 m³/h, respectively. Selection requires engineering calculations.
Operating Conditions, Configuration, and Automation of the Industrial Heat Recovery System
Configuration depends on air parameters, operating schedules, duct lengths, installation location, control options, and additional equipment.
PRANA 250 and 340S support independent flow control, programmable operation, “Passive” and “Minimum” modes, as well as “Ventilation” and “Sleep Timer” functions.
The “Mini-heating” and “Winter mode” functions are available for wall installation when infrared film is present. Additionally, heating elements can be installed for supplementary pre-heating of the supply air, controlled via the control unit.
Advantages of Industrial Recuperators
PRANA solutions combine heat recovery, various installation options, and facility-specific adaptation.
Their key features include:
- Copper heat exchanger;
- Simultaneous supply and extraction without flow mixing;
- Independent adjustment of supply and extraction channels;
- Air duct network connection;
- Programmable control and multiple operating modes;
- Compatible auxiliary equipment;
- Warranty and service support.
The maximum efficiency of PRANA 250 is 74%, and PRANA 340 is 78%. The system’s effectiveness also depends on design, installation, and maintenance.
