Who We Are
HeatRecoveryHub is an independent technical knowledge base built for everyone who designs, specifies, or maintains air-to-air heat recovery systems. We focus on the technologies that move energy from exhaust air back into incoming supply air: plate and cross-flow exchangers, rotary (enthalpy) wheels, heat pipes, and integrated air-handling units.
What We Cover
- Plate and cross-flow heat exchangers
- Rotary (enthalpy) energy recovery wheels
- Heat-pipe and thermosyphon exchangers
- Integrated AHU heat-recovery modules
- Sizing, efficiency testing, and standards
Why Independent
We are not tied to a single manufacturer. Our comparisons, calculators, and guides are written to help engineers make defensible choices based on performance data rather than marketing claims. Where a number matters, we show the test method behind it.
Who It Is For
HVAC engineers, building designers, energy consultants, specifiers, and facility managers will find practical, application-ready material: how to read a manufacturer datasheet, when a rotary wheel beats a plate core, and how to estimate the payback of a recovery upgrade.
Our Commitment
We keep the content current with the standards that actually govern procurement - EN 308, EN 16798, AHRI 1060, and Eurovent certification - so that what you read here lines up with what you must submit for a building permit or an efficiency audit.
Our Approach
The work described in About HeatRecoveryHub reflects how we approach heat-recovery equipment: start from the real duty, size the core from measured airflow and temperature, and validate performance before delivery. Rather than offering a generic unit, we match plate, rotary, or heat-pipe construction to the exhaust cleanliness, recovery target, and pressure-drop budget of each application.
Capabilities
Our scope covers design, manufacturing, and testing of air-to-air heat exchangers for HVAC, drying, and process ventilation. We support make-up air units, paint and coating ovens, data-center and inverter cooling, and general industrial ventilation where energy cost is a concern. Standard flanged connections and flexible mounting keep integration straightforward for the installer.
Quality and Standards
Production follows documented quality procedures, with material and leak checks at key stages and performance verification against the stated ratings. Certifications and test records are available so the supplied unit can be audited against the specification. This discipline is what lets a recovery project deliver its predicted saving over the equipment's service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you size from our site data? Yes; send measured airflow and temperatures and we return a core sized for the duty. Do you support retrofits? Most units are built to drop into existing ductwork with minimal change.
