Should I use an enthalpic heat exchanger in summer as well, or only in winter?
An enthalpic heat exchanger should be used all year round. In winter, it prevents excessive drying of the indoor air, and in summer, it helps maintain comfortable humidity and temperature by reducing heat transfer and returning part of the moisture to the fresh supply air. This increases comfort and saves energy in every season.

RECUTECH are equipped with the latest enthalpic membrane METALPIC. They excel in top-class heat and humidity recovery, high resistance to pressure differences, and long service life. They are among the most advanced enthalpic heat exchangers currently available on the market.
ZERN are fully plastic enthalpic heat exchangers, very efficient, with slightly better moisture transfer, but with higher pressure loss.
No, never block the condensate drain.
Even though enthalpic heat exchangers produce only a minimal amount of condensate due to moisture transfer, in severe frost and specific humidity conditions, condensate can still occur. Blocking the drain could cause irreversible damage to your unit.
Protože entalpický výměník přenáší i vlhkost, mohlo by se zdát, že riziko vzniku plísní je vyšší. Ve skutečnosti však veškerá vlhkost odchází pryč spolu s čerstvým vzduchem, takže riziko vzniku plísní nehrozí.
Naše doporučení je v zimních měsících jednotku nikdy nevypínat, aby byl odvod vlhkosti zajištěn nepřetržitě. Pokud byste přesto potřebovali jednotku odstavit, vyjměte výměník, propláchněte jej čistou vodou, důkladně vysušte a teprve poté jej vraťte zpět.
Yes, installation is simple. Just follow the instructions provided with your unit. As with a standard exchanger, it needs to be removed occasionally for cleaning – the process is the same, except that you put the enthalpic exchanger back in instead.
