I.Basic Knowledge
Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) is the energy recovery process of exchanging the energy contained in normally exhausted building or space air and using it to treat (precondition) the incoming outdoor ventilation air in residential and commercial HVAC systems. During the warmer seasons, the system pre-cools and dehumidifies while humidifying and pre-heating in the cooler seasons. The benefit of using energy recovery is the ability to meet the ASHRAE ventilation & energy standards, while improving indoor air quality and reducing total HVAC equipment capacity.
In a word, Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) allows fresh air into a building, while retaining pre-conditioned heating or cooling.
The Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator is composed of two fans for air supply and exhaust, air filters, an energy recovery exchanger, and an intelligent control system. Even though you close the window, the ventilator can supply fresh air indoor after multiple filtration and exhaust polluted air from indoor. The two fans can make the indoor airflow circulate and balanced ventilation. At the same time, the standard heat exchanger can recover the energy of exhaust air and return to the incoming fresh air. Thus, it’s able to make the outdoor air cool in summer and the outdoor air warm in winter with a slight power consumption.
Heat recovery heat exchangers transfer heat from one air stream to the other, without allowing moisture transfer. This means they are well suited to climates where summer humidity levels are reasonably low.
Energy recovery exchangers provide both heat and moisture recovery, allowing moisture to be transferred from the incoming air stream to the outgoing exhaust stream during humid summer conditions, thereby providing dehumidification, which can increase occupant comfort and reduce the risk of mould. They are well suited to higher humidity locations.

| PM2.5 refers to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about 3% the diameter of a human hair. |
 |
| Sources of PM2.5:Fine particles can come from various sources. They include power plants, motor vehicles, airplanes, residential wood burning, forest fires, agricultural burning, volcanic eruptions and dust storms.Some are emitted directly into the air, while others are formed when gases and particles interact with one another in the atmosphere.
For instance, gaseous sulfur dioxide emitted from power plants reacts with oxygen and water droplets in the air to form sulfuric acid as a secondary particle.
|
| Why Are PM2.5 Dangerous?Since they are so small and light, fine particles tend to stay longer in the air than heavier particles. This increases the chances of humans and animals inhaling them into the bodies. Owing to their minute size, particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers are able to bypass the nose and throat and penetrate deep into the lungs and some may even enter the circulatory system.Studies have found a close link between exposure to fine particles and premature death from heart and lung disease. Fine particles are also known to trigger or worsen chronic disease such as asthma, heart attack, bronchitis and other respiratory problems.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that long-term exposure to PM2.5 may lead to plaque deposits in arteries, causing vascular inflammation and a hardening of the arteries which can eventually lead to heart attack and stroke. Scientists in the study estimated that for every 10 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) increase in fine particulate air pollution, there is an associated 4%, 6% and 8% increased risk of all-cause, cardiopulmonary and lung cancer mortality, respectively. Children, older adults and those who are suffering from lung and/or heart disease are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of fine particles in the air and should take special precautions when ambient PM2.5 crosses unhealthy levels.
How to Protect Yourself Against PM2.5When the amount of PM2.5 is at unhealthy level, take these steps to reduce exposure and protect your health:

The Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator is energy efficient compared with the air conditioner. It is very eco-friendly even if it works 24 hours a day to pursue the air freshness. For example, a HOLTOP 350m³/h energy recovery ventilator is suitable for a 150㎡house. This product equips with DC motors. The input power for this model is from 16w to 120w at the low and high speed, while the power consumption is from 0.38KW/day to 2.88KW/day. If the electric price is 0.1USD/kw.h, it only costs 0.38USD to 0.288USD per day. In summary, the energy recovery ventilator is energy-saving.
II. Brand
As the leading manufacturer in China specializing in the production of air-to-air heat recovery equipment, there are two features of HOLTOP products. HOLTOP has the independent ability of research, development, and production for heat exchangers, which occupy a significant position in the domestic market and break the foreign techniques monopoly. On the other hand, HOLTOP always demands the best material for production and meticulous manufacturing technique. For example, HOLTOP fresh air recovery ventilator adopts high-quality steel, the best motor from a famous national company, and has built up a cooperative partnership with the best national filtration market leader. There have been 15 years of manufacturing technique development in HOLTOP, which can convince most customers.
First, HOLTOP is famous for its professional services. HOLTOP has the largest HVAC factory in Asia and has been focusing on the research, development, and production of HVAC since 2002. The airflow of HOLTOP products is from 80 to 100000 m³/h. Nowadays, most companies don’t have factories and can only offer OEM services and adopt low-quality materials for cost reduction. Besides, HOLTOP has won public approval, whose data is reliable and the quality of materials is superior. For example, the filters are made of Glass Fiber whose dust capacity is large enough, and the service life is long enough. Also, to ensure the quality is good enough, HOLTOP offers professional after-sale services, such as 24 hours online technical support and on-site repair. More importantly, in the case of proper model selection, HOLTOP insists on guaranteeing the indoor air quality to meet national air quality standards.
