When it’s cold outside and the evenings are getting longer, we want to surround ourselves with warmth and comfort. During this period, we have a special desire to spend more time at home and enjoy preparing for the holidays. At such moments, it is especially important to feel comfortable and breathe deeply. So we are increasingly thinking about how to ventilate the room without losing precious heat. Opening a window is not the best option, as it leads to irreversible heat loss. So, in order to enjoy fresh air even on the coldest days, it is worth considering purchasing PRANA recuperators equipped with special functions.<\/span><\/p>\n How the PRANA recuperator works<\/b><\/p>\n The PRANA recuperator is a device designed to ensure effective air exchange in a room. Its key feature is that it retains the heat of the air removed from the room and transfers it to the fresh air coming in from outside. Importantly, the air flows do not mix, so you get clean and fresh air.<\/span><\/p>\n PRANA systems use a German copper heat exchanger, which allows up to 98% of heat to be retained.<\/span><\/p>\n In conditions of severe winter frosts, there is a risk of the heat exchanger and condensate drainage paths freezing. To ensure efficient and safe operation at low temperatures, we have developed the \u201cMini-heating\u201d and \u201cWinter mode\u201d functions.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMini-heating\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n The main purpose of this function is to maintain a comfortable temperature of the air entering the room from outside. \u201cMini-heating\u201d provides additional heating of the supply air flow and protects the heat exchanger from freezing. This is especially useful in cool weather when the system is operating at low speeds (for example, in \u201cNight\u201d mode). With this option, the temperature of the supplied air can be increased by 3\u20135 \u00b0C, maintaining a feeling of warmth and comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWinter mode\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n At the same time, \u201cWinter mode\u201d is critical for the safety and durability of the recuperator. This is the main function that ensures stable operation of the device during the cold season. Its main task is to prevent the formation of ice inside the system, which can significantly damage it or reduce its efficiency. In addition, \u201cWinter Mode\u201d continues to operate for another 30 minutes after the device is turned off, performing a drying phase. This allows you to remove moisture residues and prevent ice formation.<\/span><\/p>\n Important<\/b>: the use of \u201cWinter mode\u201d together with the \u201cMini-heating\u201d function is mandatory when the outside temperature is below +4\u00b0C.<\/span><\/p>\n In modern PRANA models, the \u201cMini-heating\u201d and \u201cWinter mode\u201d functions are activated automatically, based on the readings of temperature sensors. This is convenient, safe, and does not require any additional settings by the user.<\/span><\/p>\n Tips from PRANA:<\/b><\/p>\n
