Hello from Budapest, Hungary

Hello,

My name is Peter and I am from Budapest, Hungary.

I found this site when I searched for a DIY recuperator plan. I plan to build a house next year. First I wanted a passive house, but my calculation ended up by a 48 year payback period, so I decided to bulid a standard house, with very good insulation and a recuperator. I am an electrical engineer, I do a lot of mechanical work as well as a hobby, for example remote controlled airplanes. That is why I believe I could make a DIY recuperator.

I found a lot of good information on this site, thank you for that. I will post my own experiences when I have some.

Regards,

Peter

It's another name for a heat exchanger, usually of the air-air variety.

See this, for example:
