OK I understand that efficiency includes an element related to the energy required/gained to change the Relative Humidity but in terms of comparison that isn't important - just as well as I am never going to have the time to get to grips with that!!! So, should I run a mile from the HR200V?]]>

"The unit should retain up to 70% of the temperature differential of out going air" this appears to be Vent Axia way of avoiding the question!! This on the VA Integra - and on Max is extracts 49l/s but used 182 watts giving a SFP of 3.7! Crikey!]]>

'Thermal Efficiency' is like assuming the air is dry and is fair enough for most purposes. You can tell it is not a real efficiency as you will find graphs of thermal efficiency going up to 100% when the air inside is at high RH and its cold outside.]]>

Well I couldn't work out why but for sure something smelled fishy, so I ran my mile and bought something else:wink:

Now I have found:
Thermal energy recuperating efficiency up to 68%

Which I think is not a fudge just poor translation from Ukraine but also the same unit is described as:

Moisture recuperating efficiency: Up to 65%

It didn't bother me and I bought it!]]>
