The SMHRU consists of a double flux heat exchanger, allowing the air renewal of the building while recovering heat from the extracted air. In other words, in winter the unit will pre-heat the air and in summer it will pre-cool the air while improving the air quality inside the building. The heat exchanger is composed of OSF plates that were chosen due to their compactness, high thermal effectiveness, and design possibilities. The optimal piloting is ensured by using CO2 sensors.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The system was installed in 2 flats in Gdansk, Poland and in a building in Burgos, Spain. It shows its correct functioning and its efficiency. The main obstacle that remains is the acoustic nuisance associated to the air renewal when airflow is high.
