Air Recuperators
Air recuperators are supply and exhaust ventilation systems that deliver fresh air while simultaneously extracting stale air, preserving a portion of room heat or air-conditioned cooling. The PRANA catalog features air recuperators for apartments, private houses, offices, and commercial properties. You can select a model independently based on technical specifications or consult with a specialist for a calculation of the required air exchange rate.
Air Recuperators for Different Spaces
A recuperator is selected based on the purpose and parameters of the space, occupancy, required airflow capacity, and installation conditions. The same unit will not be equally effective in a small bedroom and a spacious office, which is why determining the required air exchange volume is the first essential step.
Key Application Scenarios:
- Apartment. For a bedroom, nursery, or living room, a continuous supply of fresh air, removal of excess CO₂ and humidity, and quiet nighttime operation are essential.
- Private House. Models are selected individually for each room or designed as a comprehensive solution considering floor area, layout, and number of residents.
- Single Room. A decentralized system is installed in an exterior wall and services a specific room without a ductwork network.
- Office or Small Commercial Facility. Calculations account for the number of visitors and staff, working hours, and required air exchange intensity.
When efficient ventilation is needed for a space, a recuperator enables supply and exhaust airflow within a single device. When choosing a recuperator, it is essential to compare not only casing diameter or price, but also airflow performance across available operating modes, noise level, and control features.
Advantages of PRANA Recuperators
The primary advantage of air heat recovery is regular ventilation with significantly lower energy losses compared to constantly opened windows. In PRANA systems, supply and extract air streams move simultaneously through separate channels of a copper heat exchanger without mixing.
Users gain several practical benefits:
- continuous supply of fresh air and extraction of stale air;
- removal of excess CO₂, household odors, and humidity;
- preservation of up to 98% of heat in winter or air-conditioned cool air in summer, depending on the model;
- reduced need to open windows and let in street noise;
- adjustable air exchange intensity;
- automated features and control via the PRANA Online 2.0 app in applicable configurations;
- installation of a decentralized system in an exterior wall without routing ductwork.
A recuperator does not replace heating or air conditioning: its primary function is ventilation with energy transfer between exhaust and supply air streams. Therefore, the term “ventilation air heat recovery unit” describes its operating principle, but actual technical specifications of a specific model remain crucial when making a choice.
Comparison of Our Recuperator Models
The PRANA residential lineup includes the 150, 200G, and 200C series, which differ in airflow performance and heat recovery efficiency. All series presented below are equipped with a copper heat exchanger, while the feature set depends on the STANDART, ECO ENERGY, or ECO LIFE configuration.

Across all three series, COLOR models are available in four standard production colors, while other shades from the 140+ RAL color palette can be custom-ordered. The STANDART, ECO ENERGY, and ECO LIFE configurations differ in functionality; the exact list of sensors and features should be verified on the specific product page.
How to Order a Recuperator on the Prana Website
Equipment can be purchased online via the official PRANA website after consulting with a specialist. The final price depends on the series, configuration, color selection, quantity of units, and installation requirements.
To order an air recuperator:
- select a suitable model in the catalog or submit a request for expert selection;
- specify room type, dimensions, intended use, and number of occupants;
- confirm configuration, color, and, if needed, professional installation;
- verify current pricing, payment terms, and delivery options;
- place an order online or through a company representative.
If you are interested in a recuperator, cost estimation is best evaluated alongside installation and any necessary additional work. A specialist will help calculate a solution for a single room or an entire building and explain the differences between configurations.
Customers can order recuperators in Ukraine with delivery or request custom equipment selection. If you need a recuperator in Lviv or another city, submit a request on the PRANA website: a consultant will clarify site parameters, calculate the cost of recuperators in Ukraine for your project, and refer you to an official dealer in your region.
