Climate control technology is also produced under the Swedish brand Electrolux - a built-in supply and exhaust ventilation unit. Installation of this kind of equipment is very difficult and must be done by specialists.

Electrolux presents two types of such installations.

• Supply and exhaust systems with heat recovery (heat recovery) and electric heater. Their range is represented by 6 models differing in their power (Star EPVS).
• Supply systems with electric heater, in a row there are 3 models with different performance (Fresh Air EPFA).

The polystyrene foam in the unit with foamed rubber provides heat and sound insulation.

Inside the unit there are:

• fans (2 pieces) - inlet and outlet, with a system for protecting them from overheating and equipped with two speeds;
• temperature sensors (2 pieces) - at the cold air inlet and warm air outlet;
• filters - 2 pieces;
• plate recuperator.

Outside on the body there are two branch pipes for attaching the duct lines to them. In the case, the crossing of these lines passing through the recuperator is carried out, thus the heat exchange takes place.There are also 4 brackets for mounting and a hatch with which the system is serviced. Installation of a fan that increases the pressure is provided. It must be purchased additionally.

Supply and exhaust systems of the Electrolux brand are distinguished by the following features:

• self-diagnosis of errors;
• the presence of a control panel in which programming is provided;
• the ability to program a work schedule for a week;
• at full power, the recuperator delivers efficiency up to 90% - EU5 filtration;
• the presence of an automation system built into the installation;
• the ability to change the filter control parameters;
• stable operation at temperatures down to -15 ° C;
• at temperatures less than -15 ° C, two modes of operation are maintained;
• automatic defrosting of the recuperator;
• the presence of a mode that prevents freezing;
• no condensation due to the use of moisture-absorbing cellulose in heat exchangers;
• the hood does not dry out the air.

This ventilation unit is equipped with a wall-mounted control panel with a small blue screen.

The control panel displays information:

• time;
• the speed of the device;
• filter status;
• day of the week;
• heated air temperature.

The supply and exhaust system from Electrolux has the following advantages:

• delineation of places of air inflow and its exhaust;
• regulation of room air humidity;
• the ability to combine with the air duct system;
• the presence of a filter that is easy to clean;
• quiet work;
• the ability to additionally purchase an electric heater;
• the presence of a timer that allows you to set various modes;
• the presence of a control panel displaying various parameters of the installation;
• inconspicuous installation.

The disadvantages are the relatively high cost of the device and the impossibility of remote control. But they overlap with the power and quality of this technique. For the correct selection of supply and exhaust ventilation, it is worth proceeding from the size of the area of ​​the room - the larger the space, the greater the performance of the device.

The unit is usually mounted horizontally under the ceiling using self-tapping screws. Vertical mounting is foreseen, but very rare. From the installation itself, air duct lines are laid to the supply and exhaust. When installing, it must be taken into account that access to the service hatch must be open.
