RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY

RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY is a compact heat recovery unit prepared for AFL CONSTANT FLOW EC fans. It represents an exceptionally durable, hygienic, and versatile foundation for modern balanced-pressure air recovery in family houses, apartments, and smaller commercial buildings.

Custom production in the Czech Republic. We manufacture RECUBOX® units entirely in the Czech Republic according to precise customer requirements. We use high-quality polypropylene materials from SIMONA AG and professional processing technology on Leister AG equipment.

Technology and performance

The casing is structurally optimized for AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans, which represent an exceptionally smart solution for modern heat recovery. Thanks to the built-in Constant Flow function, the fans automatically react to changes in system resistance and help maintain stable airflow, balanced pressure, low noise, and economical operation over the long term.

The unit is equipped with a counter-flow heat recovery exchanger with an efficiency of up to 90 %. The exchanger is intentionally designed with an emphasis on low pressure losses, contributing to quiet, economical, and efficient operation.

Performance parameters of the system with AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans:

  • volumetric flow rate 250 m³/h,
  • external pressure up to 400 Pa,
  • stable operation without complex commissioning.

Multiple exchanger types to choose from

Simple installation

The casing is prepared so that the fans can be installed very quickly and without complex modifications. Installation of AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans is done by simply sliding them into the prepared opening and securing them.

All outlets and the condensate drain are designed symmetrically (mirrored), so you choose the final orientation of the unit during the actual installation. RECUBOX® can also be operated with external fans according to your own design.

Regulation and control

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

  • a manual controller,
  • RekupeX REX EC smart regulation,
  • or direct connection to a smart home system, such as Loxone.

Product delivery: RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY is delivered as a standalone casing without fans and without a control unit. These can be purchased separately and are easy for the user to install.

Preparation for sensors and electrical installation

In its basic version, RECUBOX® is also prepared in terms of measurement, cabling, and safe electrical installation. Thanks to thoughtful details, the installation of sensors, cable routing, and fan connection is fast, organized, and technically clean.

The unit thus facilitates not only the installation itself but also future service, modifications, and system expansion.

4 holders

4 holders for sensor installation

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

As a result, the unit is ready for easy and clear installation of measuring elements exactly where they are needed for proper system control and monitoring.

Grommets

Tight rubber cable grommets

RECUBOX® features prepared tight rubber cable grommets, which are plugged in the basic version.

The grommets are designed for safe and clean cable routing without the need for additional interventions into the unit's structure, specifically for:

  • sensor cables,
  • fan control cables,
  • fan power cables.

Installation box

Spacious installation box for safe electrical wiring

RECUBOX® is equipped with an adequately large installation box for organized and safe electrical connections. All wires and cables are routed into this box through tight rubber grommets, which help protect the system against air and moisture penetration.

Furthermore, threaded glands lead out of the installation box, allowing for hermetically sealed and mechanically durable cable routing to other parts of the system. The result is a clean, professional, and long-term reliable electrical solution.

100% BY-PASS

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

The advantage is that even with the bypass active, the air remains filtered by the same filter as during normal operation through the exchanger.

Removable BY-PASS mechanism

The entire mechanism can be completely removed from the RECUBOX® in one motion, just like other components. Servicing, inspection, and cleaning are therefore exceptionally easy.

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

Airtightness and service access

Casing airtightness is crucial for efficient heat recovery. RECUBOX® is equipped with heavy-duty adjustable buckles that allow for precise fine-tuning of the lid's pressure on the seal. Thanks to this, the unit does not draw in false air and operates at maximum possible efficiency.

CTU and Rekupex

Thanks to its robust construction, high quality, and hygienic safety, our RECUBOX® units are part of many CTU projects, including the unique S.A.W.E.R. system, which UCEEB is developing for extracting drinking water from the air.

12-year warranty on casing airtightness

We provide an above-standard 12-year warranty on the airtightness of the RECUBOX® unit casing.

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

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

Why choose AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW

RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY is not just a casing prepared for fans. It is a thoughtful foundation for exceptionally comfortable, stable, and technically advanced heat recovery. It is specifically when equipped with AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans that the true power of the entire VENT-READY concept is fully revealed.

AFL CONSTANT FLOW fan

Main benefit of CONSTANT FLOW technology:

AFL fans automatically maintain a constant volumetric air flow even during changes in system pressure losses. This means the unit operates stably even as filters gradually become clogged, operating conditions change, or resistance in the ventilation ductwork fluctuates.

This is a huge advantage over conventional fans, where the system must be complexly tuned and every change in resistance can result in decreased performance or loss of balanced pressure. With AFL CONSTANT FLOW fans, you get much more stable operation, guaranteed air exchange, and higher comfort without unnecessary interventions into the settings.

Constant airflow Fans automatically compensate for changes in system resistance and maintain set performance without constant readjustment.
Easier balanced pressure Supply and exhaust air can be maintained in a more stable ratio over the long term, which is crucial for proper heat recovery function.
Lower noise At lower resistance, the fan automatically reduces RPM, so the system can run quieter and more refined.
Lower consumption When high performance is not needed, the fan does not consume energy unnecessarily. The result is more economical operation.
Full controllability The Constant Flow feature works across the entire regulation range, so the unit's power can be easily adapted to the current needs of the building.

Practical result for the user:

When you choose RECUBOX® HRV 250 VENT-READY and equip it with AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW fans, you get an exceptionally smart combination: an indestructible, hygienic, and service-accessible RECUBOX® unit plus fans that monitor stable airflow themselves. The result is modern heat recovery with high comfort, low noise, and without unnecessarily complex commissioning.

Video: AFL EC CONSTANT FLOW in practice
