Less material between the hot/cold side will promote faster heat transfer. This allows less material to be used and a cheaper and just as useful product.

That sounds great Fornax. We look forward to seeing your build. I'd recommend starting a new thread about the HRV build. This is already a pretty big thread and it'll get buried eventually.

Welcome to the site Viking House. You make what we dream of! :) Would it be possible for you to share plans of your HRV units with us? Do you have any idea how efficient they are?

I think your solution would work, but how do you keep the smaller tube centered in the larger tube?

Do you have any diagrams of how a unit like this works? Its pretty easy to see how the others work, but I'm not understanding a rotating wheel heat exchanger. I'd certainly LOVE to have a 93%...

Yeah, that looks about as efficient as the other ones I've seen. I'd like to see something ~90% efficient! :)

I'd try to open up the house when you can, try to get fresh air in. If that seems to...
