<p>Energy recovering techniques for air conditioning has increased in recent years and new prod- </p><p>ucts have been introduced to the market where the Membrane-based Energy Recovery Ventilator </p><p>(ERV) is one promising product. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new type of membrane </p><p>material for an ERV and give an analysis of the need for digital control of the air flow rate to </p><p>improve efficiency. A prototype counter-flow ERV was used in the test to validate the performance under different </p><p>flow conditions. The result was promising for the tested membrane material with high moisture </p><p>and heat transfer. The optimisation of the flow rate was found to be superfluous, since the relation </p><p>between the energy transferred by the ERV and the air flow rate was almost linear.</p>
