在哪里可以在地下室找到HRV？
由于冬季过多的窗户冷凝，我想安装HRV。问题是我们的房子在地面上相当深，因此穿过轮辋托梁，通风口几乎没有雪，树叶和小动物的清除。
I will be doing the simple install tying into existing ductwork; I have enough electrical experience to come up with a furnace fan interlock.
I have thought about installing it at the top of one closet we have that is on an exterior wall, but space will be tight for installation and servicing. Could I just pull air from the closest (perhaps installing a louver in the door) as this would mean only one duct out of the closet?
Thanks in advance!

Paul,
I'm not sure I understand your question. I'll try to rephrase it. Tell me if I have this right: "I plan to install an HRV in a closet. I will hook up the two usual ducts that connect to the outdoors (the fresh air duct from the exterior to the HRV, and the exhaust duct from the HRV to the exterior). I will then hook up the duct that supplies fresh air to the house by installing a duct that connects the HRV to the furnace ductwork. But I don't want to pull stale air from the bathrooms, as most people do. Instead, I want to pull air stale air from the closet."
Is that right?
Hi Martin,
Yes, that's what I'm proposing. Retrofitting ducts to the bathrooms will be difficult and result in long runs. The closet is just off the kitchen at the opposite end from the bedrooms (bungalow) so this seems like a reasonable area to pull stale air from.
Paul,
As you may know, I'm not a fan of HRVs that try to use forced-air heating ducts to distribute ventilation air. It's far preferable to use dedicated ventilation ductwork. For more information on some of the challenges associated with these systems, see管道HRV和ERV。
HRV有能力将陈旧的空气从臭小子的房间中拉出，并将新鲜空气分发到人们一天中花费大量时间的房间，并在不使用太多电力的情况下执行这些任务。您的系统将错过HRV的许多好处，而不必从您想获得空气的房间中拉出过时的空气，并且通过使用比必要更多的电力（假设炉风扇用于分发通风空气）。
I have previously read that article and it all makes sense. I guess it's a trade-off of an ideal system versus ease of installation!
Is it possible to put the HRV in the basement and run the intake/exhaust ducts throught the closet?
Yes, the ducts could be run up through a closet, but it becomes difficult with two bulky insulated ducts and duct length starts to become excessive. Our dryer exhaust and furnace supply and vent pipes run up into the back of our kitchen cupboards and then out through the wall. We can't do this with the HRV ducts though as it would be too close to the other vents and possibly draw in their exhaust.
我最初的想法无论如何都无法使用，因为壁橱顶部没有足够的空间来适合HRV。回到绘图板！
