Moisture And Heat Recovery
Clean air is a precious commodity. And contributes significantly to people‘s health and well-being. However, we spend most of our lives in buildings.
In the heating period this means: In the dry heated air. For this reason, many people suffer from a sore throat, from burning eyes or dry skin. When rooms are cooled by air-conditioning, the supply air must be dehumidified. This significantly increases the energy consumption
The solution: an enthalpy plate exchanger – or in short: the Vapobloc! Its innovative membrane enriches the incoming warm air with moisture from the exhaust air or extracts moisture from the air under hot or tropical conditions. Without transmitting odors, germs, spores and bacteria! The Vapobloc has thus proven itself in all areas of application such as hospitals, schools, retirement homes or apartment buildings.

Perfect climate, where humidity purity count:
Hospitals, schools kindergartens, office buildings, retirement homes, apartment buildings.
The Vapobloc benefits at a glance
Moisture transfer in winter
Moisture is transferred through the special polymer membrane. The supply air is less dry and therefore provides for increased comfort.
Dehumidification during Air Conditioning
Realizes energy savings, the refrigeration systems can be dimensioned much smaller.
High Heat Transfer
Various sizes also allow optimum dimensioning for all ventilation units.
Water Vapor Permeable Membrane
Allows only the transfer of water vapor molecules. Other media such as air, germs and bacteria cannot pass through.
Officially Certified
Performance and hygiene are regularly certified by neutral institutions.
Does not freeze
Since a large part of the humidity is transferred to the supply air, there is normally hardly any condensate that can freeze.
Savings in Humidifier Output
The humidifiers can be smaller in size. The running costs for operation are considerably lower.
Minimum maintenance
Vapobloc is easy to clean and has no wearing parts.
Functional principle
Water vapor diffuses through the membrane. In Winter the supply air is humidified, in cooling conditions dehumidified. Contaminants such as particulate, odors, germs and bacteria cannot pass through.
