The following regions and places in Brazil are particularly suitable for the application of ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) systems, mainly based on climate characteristics,
industrial needs and building energy-saving requirements:
1. High-humidity tropical areas (humidity control required)
Industrial cities in the Amazon Basin (such as Manaus)
This area has high temperature and humidity all year round. The ERV system can synchronously exchange temperature and humidity to reduce dehumidification energy consumption,
which is particularly suitable for production environments that are sensitive to humidity, such as electronic assembly plants and pharmaceutical warehouses.
Food processing areas in the northeastern coastal areas (such as Salvador and Recife)
Industries such as fish processing and juice filling need to maintain constant humidity to prevent deterioration. ERV retains indoor moisture while discharging polluted gases,
reducing the cooling load by more than 30%.
2. Commercial-intensive cities (energy saving and air quality are equally important)
Sao Paulo commercial buildings
High-rise office buildings and shopping centers use centralized ERV systems to deal with the problem of increased CO₂ concentration caused by dense traffic,
and recycle exhaust energy to reduce air conditioning power consumption (actual energy saving of 25%-40%). Hotels and medical institutions in Rio de Janeiro
Combined with the high salt corrosion environment requirements of the seaside, ERV is equipped with a corrosion-resistant heat exchange core to achieve constant oxygen ventilation in wards and
hotel rooms while reducing external humid air infiltration.
3. Policy-driven new construction projects
Energy-saving buildings of the Brasilia government
New public facilities in the Federal District are required to implement the ANFAVEA energy efficiency standard, and ERV has become a necessary component for passive house certification,
meeting the ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation standard through heat recovery.
Technical adaptation suggestions: In the southern temperate zone (such as Porto Alegre), HRV (heat recovery ventilation) can be selected in winter to prioritize heat preservation,
while ERV is preferred in the north and southeast coast, which are hot and humid all year round. Industrial areas need to customize explosion-proof and anti-corrosion models,
and match particulate matter/chemical filtration modules.
