Horizontal earth-air heat exchanger for preheating external air in the mechanical ventilation system
To save traditional energy sources in mechanical ventilation systems, it is advisable to use low-energy ground energy for preheating or cooling the outside air. Heat exchange between ground and outside air occurs in ground heat exchangers.

In the previous issue of Critical Care, Rose and colleagues report the results of a survey on the frequency with which ICU nurses are involved in decision-making in ventilator management. About 63 to 88% of the decisions were made by nurses in collaboration with physicians, and as much as 68% of ventilator adjustments were performed by nurses ...

A comparison of different ventilation strategies for dwellings in terms of airflow rates and airflow paths [PDF]
The context of ventilation in Belgian dwellings has changed since the publication of the Belgian standard NBN D 50-001:1991. Due to the higher energy performance of these dwellings, ventilation plays nowadays a more essential role in maintaining a good ...
