Product image notice: The photographs are illustrative and may not show the exact variant or selected RECUBOX® configuration being offered. The relevant technical drawings and diagrams are decisive for the specific version, dimensions and positioning of individual structural components.

Technology and performance

The casing is structurally optimised for installation of AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans, which represent an exceptionally smart solution for modern heat recovery ventilation. Thanks to the integrated Constant Flow function, the fans automatically respond to changes in system resistance and help maintain stable airflow, balanced operation, low noise levels and energy-efficient operation over the long term.

The unit is equipped with a counterflow non-enthalpy heat exchanger with a temperature efficiency of up to 90%. The heat exchanger transfers heat between the extract and supply air while keeping both air streams completely separate. It is designed with an emphasis on low pressure losses, contributing to quiet, energy-efficient and effective operation.

System performance parameters with AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans:

  • airflow 250 m³/h,
  • external pressure up to 400 Pa,
  • stable operation without complicated balancing.

Choice of three non-enthalpy heat exchangers

RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY TOP can be equipped with three types of non-enthalpy counterflow heat exchangers.

The individual variants differ in plate material, construction and price. This allows RECUBOX® to be adapted to the specific requirements of a project – from an all-aluminium heat exchanger made by a Czech manufacturer to durable versions with HPS plates.

The heat exchanger is selected during the ordering process.

Easy installation

The casing is prepared so that the fans can be installed very quickly without complicated modifications. AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans are installed simply by inserting them into the prepared opening and securing them in place.

All connections and the condensate drain are designed symmetrically, allowing you to choose the final orientation of the unit during installation. RECUBOX® can also be operated with external fans according to your own system design.

Control and regulation

EC fan control is very simple using a DC 0–10 V signal. The unit can be controlled, for example, by:

  • a manual controller,
  • the smart RekupeX REX EC controller,
  • or direct connection to a smart home system, such as Loxone, TapHome or Home Assistant.

Product delivery: RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY TOP is supplied with an integrated heat exchanger, but without fans and without a control unit. The fans and control system can be purchased separately and easily installed by the user.

Preparation for sensors and electrical installation

As standard, RECUBOX® is also prepared for measurement, cabling and safe electrical installation. Thanks to well-designed details, installation of sensors, cable routing and fan wiring are quick, clear and technically clean.

The unit therefore simplifies not only the initial installation, but also future servicing, modifications and system extensions.

RECUBOX sensor holders

4 holders for sensor installation

RECUBOX® includes 4 holders for sensor installation. Each holder is located in one of the main air paths: SUP, EHA, ETA and ODA.

This makes the unit ready for simple and clearly arranged installation of measuring elements exactly where they are needed for correct system control and monitoring.

Sealed rubber RECUBOX cable glands

Sealed rubber cable glands

RECUBOX® is equipped with sealed rubber cable glands, which are closed with plugs as standard.

The cable glands are intended for safe and clean cable routing without the need for additional modifications to the unit structure, particularly for:

  • sensor cables,
  • fan control cables,
  • fan power supply cables.
RECUBOX electrical installation box

Spacious electrical installation box for safe wiring

RECUBOX® is equipped with a sufficiently large electrical installation box for clear and safe electrical wiring. All wires and cables are routed into this box through sealed rubber glands, which help protect the system against air and moisture ingress.

From the installation box, screw cable glands provide a hermetically sealed and mechanically durable cable outlet to other parts of the system. The result is a clean, professional and long-lasting electrical installation solution.

100% BY-PASS

RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY TOP is also available in a version with a 100% mechanical BY-PASS. This sophisticated system simultaneously closes the fresh-air passage through the heat exchanger and opens a large bypass channel behind the heat exchanger.

The advantage is that even when the BY-PASS is active, the air continues to be filtered by the same filter as during normal operation through the heat exchanger.

Removable BY-PASS mechanism

The entire mechanism can be completely removed from the RECUBOX® in one movement, just like the other components. This makes servicing, inspection and cleaning exceptionally easy.

The mechanism is structurally prepared for installation of any actuator with a minimum torque of 5 Nm. The actuator is mounted on a prepared 10 mm thick plastic plate and secured against rotation using the supplied metric screw. Compatibility with a 14 mm diameter shaft is required.

Airtightness and service access

Casing airtightness is essential for efficient heat recovery. RECUBOX® is equipped with robust adjustable toggle latches, which allow the pressure of the lid against the seal to be precisely adjusted. This prevents unwanted air leakage and allows the unit to operate at the highest possible efficiency.

CTU and RekupeX

Thanks to their robust construction, high quality and hygienic safety, our RECUBOX® units are used in a number of CTU projects, including the unique S.A.W.E.R. system developed by UCEEB for producing drinking water from air.

12-year warranty on casing airtightness

We provide an extended 12-year warranty on the airtightness of RECUBOX® unit casings.

The casing is made of high-quality polypropylene and joined using hot-gas welding technology, creating homogeneous, strong and long-term stable joints without the risk of degradation.

Unlike constructions using glued joints, sealing tapes or combinations of different materials, RECUBOX® maintains its airtightness and mechanical durability even after many years of operation.

Why choose AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW

RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY TOP is not just a casing prepared for fans. It is a well-engineered foundation for exceptionally comfortable, stable and technically advanced heat recovery ventilation. The true strength of the entire VENT-READY concept becomes fully apparent when it is equipped with AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans.

AFL CONSTANT FLOW fan

Main benefit of CONSTANT FLOW technology:

AFL fans automatically maintain a constant airflow even when pressure losses in the system change. This means that the unit continues to operate stably even when filters gradually become clogged, operating conditions change or resistance in the ventilation ductwork fluctuates.

This is a major advantage over conventional fans, where the system has to be carefully balanced and every change in resistance can reduce performance or disturb balanced operation. With AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans, you get much more stable operation, more reliable air exchange and greater comfort without unnecessary adjustments to the settings.

Constant airflow The fans automatically compensate for changes in system resistance and maintain the set airflow without constant readjustment.
Automatic balanced operation

Balanced operation is very simple with the VENT-READY system and AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans. Both fans can be connected to the same control signal from any suitable controller.

If both fans receive the same control signal value, they automatically maintain the same airflow. This applies even when each fan has to overcome different duct or filter resistance.

Lower noise levels At lower resistance, the fan automatically reduces its speed, allowing the system to operate more quietly and smoothly.
Lower energy consumption When high performance is not required, the fan does not consume unnecessary energy. The result is more energy-efficient operation.
Full controllability The Constant Flow function operates throughout the entire control range, making it easy to adapt the unit's performance to the current needs of the building.

Practical result for the user:

When you choose RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY TOP and equip it with AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans, you get an exceptionally smart combination: an extremely durable, hygienic and easily serviceable RECUBOX® unit together with fans that automatically maintain stable airflow. The result is modern heat recovery ventilation with a high level of comfort, low noise and without unnecessarily complicated balancing.
