Econet Where renewable and recoverable energy combine

Our innovative Econet system is saving energy in several ways he components in Fläkt Woods’ innovative Econet system are connected together to provide a more reliable and more efficient AHU system. Heat recovery, heating and cooling are integrated into a common circuit as heating/cooling coils, pumps, valves, pipe systems, insulation, etc. The result is a shorter and more compact ventilation unit. This is highly beneficial from an environmental point of view because much less energy is used to transport the air through unnecessary components. Further development of the principle of energy...

Problem: Energy consumtions in buildings We spend approximately 90% of our time indoors. A lot of energy resources are consumed to maintain the right temperature and air quality, which is becoming more and more important. On average, 68% of a buildings energy needs are spent on heating, cooling and ventilation. Since we can affect both heating and cooling through the ventilation system we have a lot to work with. Together that means that you can make an impact on somewhere about half of the total energy consumption of a building when focusing on ventilation. That is something worth...

The design temperature in a heating system is traditionally 80/60°C. Econet is a low-temperature system, which means that it is possible to use heating water at a temperature of 25-35ºC. This means that there is a possibility of utilizing hot water that was previously considered to be unusable. The heat source for Econet can be the return water from district heating, waste/condenser heat or return water from radiator systems, for example. Econet can cool a building with other water temperatures that traditional systems. About 10ºC cooling water is in most cases sufficient as a feed...

Econet makes everybody a winner To lower the costs and care for the environment, Econet makes it possible to use alternate energy sources instead of traditional. Thanks to this, Econet makes everybody a winner. Heat energy from a chiller Refrigerators give off heat (condenser heat) when they produce cold. Liquid-borne condenser heat from chillers is very often at a low temperature (30-36ºC), which in the past has meant that it cannot be used and thus goes to waste. Econet can utilize the waste heat in order to heat the supply air. This way of saving energy is efficient in food shops and...

Over 1500 Econet systems installed Econet in superstores The regrigerated counters emit waste heat that Econet can reuse. This energy is often wasted, but Econet uses it to heat the supply air. Within industry there is usually waste heat available. This heat is frequently sufficient for Econet to heat the air, i.e. no primary heating is required to heat the air. Due to the recovery principle employed by Econet it is possible to position the units separately from each other, in addition there is no transfer of contaminated exhaust air.

Increasing energy prices, legislation and a more environmental consideration raise the demands and old techniques are challenged with innovative solutions. Our Econet system contains of an air handling unit and a prefabricated pump group that controls the system. A heating exchanger package can be delivered as an accessory. The winning ideas of Econet - One common circuit for heating supply, cooling and heat recovery results in a diminished need of circulation pumps, pipe systems, valves, insulation etc. The result is a shorter unit and in most cases less pressure loss. - Perfect for...
