I was thinking a very small compressor 500 watts. It's probably just a dream but say having the exhaust air from the home exit at close to 0 Deg.C. to prevent the evaporator from turning to an ice ball. And the incoming fresh air 20 + Deg.C. to help warm the house. And the reverse in the summer months.
As I write this it occurs to me I'm asking for a 100% recovery of the air exchange. Maybe the compressors rejected heat would get me close???
The heat-pump HRV is just a small air to air heat-pump.
When the HVR was operational I had its control with a smart home system. It would operate at certain times and occupation of the bathrooms kicked it into high. No sense in having the thing run when we are off to work and the home empty.
It is very impressive the air quality. I would notice the house had a very fresh air smell entering the home. The kitchen freshness recovery after cooking a big meal was another huge bonus.
Looking to a return of the HVR only on my terms!!
