  • I have long wanted to do something about the air quality in the bed roome so it would be nicer to sleep in there. Then I got an idea to make this heat exchanger HRV.
    It replaces the air very efficiently heat exchange is not overly good but it is a cheap DIY project that works.
    Part 2 • DIY simple cheap easy ...
    Fan spec:
    ARCTIC SILENT
    F12 Silent Extra Quiet Case Fan
    120 mm 800 RPM
    Airflow 37CFM/62.9m3/h

    If the incoming air is too cold add a solar heat box to draw air through and control the fans via Sonoff TH-16 with temp probe. The box can be any size and contain aluminum down spouts or soda cans painted flat black. Draw incoming air though it. Add a small solar panel to only allow this to run when the sun shines and it can also charge the batteries these fans run off of when the Sonoff shuts off the fans. If the air gets too hot, add a duct damper controlled by a separate Sonoff TH-16 to draw in normal outside air. If you need this to run at night, add a water fed coil in the system fed by your water heater to warm the outside night air. It will also let you tap into the unused heat from your solar box outside to heat water when you don't need to use it to heat your living space. Note: you will need a separate water heater to use and pass heat to your main water heated either direction they require. You may wish to keep these water heaters separated and just use the 2nd as a heat bank for use at night to heat the incoming air via the banked heat in your water heater. Dampers and fans can be controlled within 1 degree on/off - open/closed via Sonoff TH-16, right from the eWeLink app. Alexa can also tell you the temperature of any of these Sonoff probes when you ask it.
    More work but you get fresh air and at the temperature you desire while exhausting humid air containing all of the CO2 and possibly carbon monoxide and any other harmful toxins.
    I hang passive solar panels inside my south facing windows and save 25% energy to heat my home on sunny winter days. These panels can be simple cardboard covered with aluminum foil & foil tape painted flat black. Leave space for air to pass by. The back of the cardboard will not get above 90f and the foil can get to 130f. You can also add a solar powered fan to disperse the heat. The fan will be just like these you use and the tube will have several holes blowing up the panel to move air past this 130f foil. Yes, this is safe as cardboard needs to be approx. 400f to combust.

      stale air is blown out through the 3 metal tubes. fresh air is pulled in through the space around the tubes. Heat exchange occurs on the surface of the metal tubes.
      This design could be substantially improved by using much smaller tubes. Perhaps drinking straws?

    Great simple design, brilliant! I imagine by making it longer the efficiency could also be increased... If possible, please measure inlet and outlet temps, efficiency of HRVs is easily calculated by differential Temps... Good Job. Even if your getting 30-40% efficiency, that is an awesome and worthy endeavor. The need is great for DIY super insulated tiny off grid homes, where these type of computer fans are easily run by direct connect to small pv and actively vent during day....

      Hello, if you only want to have 1 fan on and it must not take up any space, then it is just an exhaust and it will also contribute to fresh air, especially if you live in an older house that is not completely sealed, then more air will come in the places where doors and windows are not tight. But in the winter you have to have a way to close it off, these little fans can't keep the wind out either if it blows against them outside, but there are solutions. Thanks for whatching

    You should really try to make one from thin metal sheets, like industrial aluminium foil (the thicknes of single-use disposable aluminium-foil baking trays or disposable grills), or other metal sheets, or even plastic sheets of paper (ideally paper coated with a wood varnish). So you would make multiple sheets, each even space intake and odd space exhaust, using silicone on the sides to keep the two air sources separated, then have the whole thing longer to recycle more heat, thermally insulate the whole thing for the same purpose, and maybe only use an intake fan with a paper towel or toilet paper as an air filter to prevent outside dust from getting in as easily. The result migth be larger, but you will also not lose as much temperature to the outside, and you might even get less dust thanks to the paper towel air filter / toilet paper air filter. And you can use toolless screws for changing the filter, and optionally also a hinge.

      Hey Russel Jimbangan in sommer IT is great but in the Wintertime the inlet fan is turned off. And when you think about the cost og this fan IT is wird there issent much of these on the market.

      For the winter, you could have a second one installed at the bottom of the wall to extract cold air from the room, instead of the warm air at the top of the room. Definitely need vent covers to stop airflow when off.

    how much does it actually change the incoming air from outside? What is temp outside and what is it when it's entering the house? I have a feeling there isn't much of any benefit in this build to the actual ERV function. Assuming it is a nice balanced push pull fan combo though. Nicely done

    • @DIYWITHADD
      @DIYWITHADD  3 роки тому +9

      With the budget in mind, this project has never been intended to have a good efficiency when it comes to heat recovery but it should be effective at replacing the air for which it is good. And if there is just a slight recycling of the heat then it is a win. And in my opinion, it is not at all possible to make a small (effective HRV) on a small bugget thanks for watching

      Calculations are done by fan volume measured in CFM Cubic Feet Minute.
      Room HxLxW in feet equals cubic feet or volume of room. Then divide volume by the fan cfm and that's how many minutes it will take to completely exchange the room air. But fans also need equal intake to the room.

      @@mrmotofy One needs to take into account the 'static pressure' of the system. "Ductulators" (charts that give you this information).
      No fan is 100% effective and the flow decreases with static pressure.
      In fluid pumping examples such as hydronics, the static pressure would be analogous to "Feet of head".

      What kind of vacuum are you using? Older Tristar vacuums can do this. I think Filter Queens also. You just need the exhaust to be able to have a hose attached to it. Takes all the dusty air outside and then you have no more filters to buy. Probably is easier on the motor as it doesn't have to push the exhausted air through that filter. All vacuums should have this ability. Sadly nobody seems to care that they're breathing in more dust during and after vacuuming than before. Unless they wear a respirator that fits properly of course.
