Innovative Technology
Founded in 1985, Recotherm started out building swimming pool ventilation systems that incorporated refrigerate based dehumidifiers, sometimes mistakenly called heat pumps. While designing, commissioning and servicing the AHUs our MD, Martin Killen, noticed that the dehumidifier was only being used intermittently; the fresh air brought in during the occupied periods provided all the dehumidification that was required. This led to him designing an innovative system which only brings in the exact amount of fresh air that is required to control the humidity.
At the time the only AHUs that operated on fresh air were full fresh air units. Coming from a heat recovery background, Martin knew the unit needed an air to air heat recuperator to recover the heat from any air, before it is discharged to the atmosphere which eliminated the need for an expensive compressor, associated condenser and evaporator coils.
This design, which was first introduced by Recotherm in 1992, has been widely adopted by most manufacturers of swimming pool ventilation units.
Our Mission Is To Make the Best Product, for the Best Price, Ensuring Efficiency and Running Costs Were at the Forefront of Our Thinking for Your Swimming Pool Ventilation
Since 1992 we’ve carried out further improvements to our swimming pool ventilation units, including the introduction of plug fans in 1995, which were originally speed controlled via frequency inverters, but are now more commonly used in conjunction with EC motors.
We use Blue Fin fans in our AHUs, which offer increased eco-friendly efficiency than standard fans. Over the lifetime of the unit this can equate to huge savings.
Why Recotherm?
We Understand Requirements
Our in-house environmental engineers understand the principles behind the concepts. If you have an unusual project, we are more than capable of coming up with a suitable solution.
Bespoke Unit Options
We offer a bespoke design service and regularly design AHUs around the individual requirements of the site.
We Deliver Best Output
Standard delivery is via a flatbed truck but Hi-ab and MOFFETT deliveries are also available for sites with restricted access.
