It can be installed as a stand-alone unit, for example for preheating hot water *. It can significantly improve the efficiency of the existing heating system, for example the exhaust air heat recovery system or geothermal system. <br>(*Authorization to use the Ecowec Hybrid Exchanger to preheat domestic hot water varies by location.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For what type of use Ecowec is designed for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residential properties, hotels, spas, swim halls and industry. For all sites with sufficient water consumption or other waste heat sources that should be recycled with Ecowec hybrid heat exchanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What size properties are Ecowec Hybrid Exchangers designed for? Can I install one in a terraced house, for example?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for heat to be recovered from waste water, the property must also have sufficient water consumption or, alternatively, other sources of heat to be utilized. Ecowec is not suitable for very small residential properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where are Ecowec Hybrid Heat Exchangers made?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ecowec hybrid exchangers are manufactured in Finland for securing high manufacturing standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long has Ecowec been on the market? What kind of user experiences have you received during this time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ecowec Hybrid Heat Exchanger has been on the market from 2015. Installed Ecowecs have been trouble-free without the need for maintenance and have received positive feedback and recommendations from customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What kind of space does the Ecowec Hybrid Heat Exchanger require?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exchanger itself occupies approximately one square meter of floor space and a height of 150-210 cm. The connection model influences the space requirements of the pipelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the market area for your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our main market area has been Finland but there has been a lot of demand abroad in and we plan to start exporting abroad in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the power of the Ecowec Hybrid Heat Exchanger?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power of the Ecowec depends on the type of connection, the source of heat, the amount of heat and the flow. The standard power for wastewater in a residential apartment block is about 30kW \/ Ecowec R10 Hybrid Exchanger, with a peak output of 3000kW \/ Ecowec PR10 Industrial Heat Exchanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How long does it take for a device to pay off in energy savings?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the heat source used and the amount of heat used, the payback period varies from a few months for industrial process to 4-10 years heat recovery in residential properties. In this context, it is worth considering the long design life of the Ecowec Hybrid Heat Exchanger, up to 50 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is the device vulnerable to clogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Device clogging is a very unlikely event. However, it is recommended that the unit be equipped with cleaning hatches during installation. However, should a blockage occur in Ecowec for any reason, the sewage would pass the installation bypass line past the exchanger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Ecowec Hybrid Exchanger?
