I can't see why you couldn't use the aluminium foil ducting I used to use for the fresh air from the big heat pumps installed in jobs.Just in case you haven't been keeping up with my build blog: ecohousethailand.wordpress.com
My Energy Recovery Ventilator arrived today, now just have to work out the how to get the ducting installed to feed fresh air to all rooms. The ducting needs to bring fresh air in from my Geothermal system through the ERV, then split to send fresh air to the ground and second floors and stale air out.
Any suggestions on where to get tubular steel ducting made up in Surin, would be appreciated.
Video Explaining How ERVs work:
I have a few single phase heat pumps already made up. You can have your pick and will save you headaches arranging hx, tx valves and guess work trying to improvise an aircon.
Hi @Surin, much appreciated, I would love to see your heat pumps. The system I was planning to use is from a company in Bangkok. You buy the tank and heat exchanger all setup. I am not sure how much hot water it would produce, but it should make the aircons more efficient: pac.co.th/product-overview/pac-frenergy/ It would also being keeping the water warm at night when there is no solar thermal, so you have hot water for a shower in the morning.
I was planning to use insulating aluminium foil ducting in the ceilings, which is pretty easy to find, but where the air from the geothermal enters the house and then enters the ERV I will need 2 x 90 degree bends and the house side of the ERV will require 2 x overlapping T pipes. Because I need access to the controls on the ERV and access for maintenance, this cannot be hidden behind a wall. So I will have to have it made up.
yes I know it looks like a prison cell, but we sleep safe and sound):
