Based on Turkmenistan's climate characteristics, building types and infrastructure status, the following areas and building types are particularly suitable for deploying ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) systems:
1. Capital core area and newly built landmark buildings
Ashgabat City
As a political and economic center, it has a large number of newly built public buildings (such as Neutrality Gate, Carpet Museum) and modern hotels, with high requirements for indoor air quality
and energy saving. ERV can effectively balance the demand for fresh air and air conditioning energy consumption in high temperature environments.
The government-led white marble building complex generally uses central air conditioning systems, which are suitable for integrating ERV to achieve heat recovery.
Large cultural venues and tourist facilities
The supporting facilities of the Gumerv World Heritage Scenic Area and the Darvaza Gas Crater Visitor Center need to cope with the ventilation challenges brought by the high temperature of
the desert and the dense number of tourists. ERV can improve comfort and reduce cooling load.
2. Energy industrial zone and infrastructure
Natural gas processing base
New/expanded projects such as the Bagdere contract area and the right bank gas field of the Amu Darya River (such as the Eastern Phase III Project) need to control the concentration of
harmful gases in the plant area. ERV can recover process waste heat while ensuring ventilation safety.
Exploration facilities around the Gate of Hell face the problem of high temperature and trace methane diffusion. The filtering and energy recovery functions of ERV can optimize the working environment.
Strategic facilities and air-raid shelter systems
Military bases and underground command centers that deploy FD-2000 air defense systems need to maintain the air quality of enclosed spaces. ERV has significant advantages in ensuring ventilation
efficiency in extreme climates.
3. Civil and public service fields
High-end hotels and medical buildings
Five-star hotels and hospitals in the capital have strict requirements for constant humidity and temperature. ERV can cooperate with air conditioning systems to reduce humidity fluctuations and
avoid desert dust intrusion.
Welfare housing projects
Residential areas (especially new projects) with free water, electricity and gas provided by the government are suitable for promoting ERV and reducing residents' long-term energy consumption costs.
4. Climate adaptability demand drive
High temperature and arid environment: 80% of the country is Karakum Desert, and the summer temperature often exceeds 40°C. ERV can alleviate the pressure on the power grid caused by excessive use of
air conditioners.
Sand and dust control: ERV multi-layer filtration design can block desert fine dust and protect precision equipment (such as data centers and laboratories).
Note: The application of ERV in Turkmenistan needs to be adapted to high dust filters and explosion-proof designs (industrial areas), and take advantage of the low price of natural gas to reduce operating costs.
