Ko_deZ,

Thanks for the picture.

From that photo and this diagram:

I estimated that the cores are 100cm x 20 cm x 50 cm. The 50 cm dimension is if the HRV does not have a false back, I can't tell from the photograph, but the drawing indicates that the cabinet is 52 cm deep, so I assume that the cores go full depth.

I guess the "switch" is a rotating wheel with baffles that allow air to alternately flow through one exchanger and then another.

Here is another similar HRV that uses a similar air flow principle:

Here's inside view:

They even have a video of the thing in action... it is not youtube, so it takes a while to load.

I think the one you have is obviously designed for better efficiency.
