Hi All,
I found a dutch company, Recair, that produces recuperators out of polystyrene.
Their heatexchangers are very efficient and of course they are counterflow. The internal design looks very good with triangular ducts, see this snippet taken from their productfolder.
Their website,
www.recair.nl, is available in multiple languages. It also has a nice online calculator to play with.
They do not sell their products to individuals but at this website,
warmtewisselaarwebshop.nl, I can order them in the Netherlands, no idea about shipping to other countries. These recuperators are very reasonably priced!
So this summer, after some other projects around the house, I will be rebuilding my HRV with one of these heatexchangers inside. I'll probably use the RS160 with a height of 250 or 300mm.
