Before buying a recovery unit, a quick payback calculation shows whether it makes sense. You only need a few field numbers and the local energy price. The Core Formula Annual energy saved (kWh) = 1.2 x airflow (m3/h) x eta x dT (C) x hours/year / 1000 Where 1.2 is the approximate volumetric heat capacity […]
Estimer le retour sur investissement de la recuperation de chaleur : une demarche pratique avec calculateur
Before spending capital on an air-to-air heat recovery system, any serious buyer asks the same question: how long until it pays for itself? The answer is not a mystery and it does not need specialist software, a spreadsheet and a clear method give a defensible simple-payback number that survives scrutiny from finance and from the […]
Heat Pump Selection Calculation
A correct heat pump selection calculation prevents both undersizing (poor performance) and oversizing (short cycling and wasted capital). The method below applies to space heating, domestic hot water, and process heat recovery alike. Step 1 — Define the Load Start from the peak heating or cooling load in kW. For recovery duties, size to the […]
