A summer bypass is an integrated system in heat recovery ventilation installations, specifically designed to optimize thermal comfort during the warm season. Essentially, it allows for bypassing the heat exchanger so that outdoor air can be introduced directly into the room without being preheated or cooled beforehand.
Why do you need a summer bypass?
Natural cooling: On cool summer nights, the bypass allows fresh, cool air to enter the room, thus reducing the need for air conditioning and saving energy.
Improved indoor air quality: By introducing fresh air, the bypass helps reduce the concentration of pollutants and humidity indoors, creating a healthier and more pleasant environment.
Versatility: Ventilation systems with bypass can be used both in the warm season and in the cold season, providing optimal comfort throughout the year.
How does a summer bypass work?
Operating principle: When the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature, the bypass flaps open automatically or manually, allowing air to circulate directly through the system, bypassing the heat exchanger.
