About this asset

Grey steel geothermal brine heat exchanger Revit family featuring a top circular air connection and integrated pressure gauge manifold for HVAC layouts. The unit is modelled as an upright rectangular sheet-metal cabinet finished in neutral light grey. A circular black duct collar is positioned centrally on the top panel for ventilation duct connection. A horizontal service manifold extends from the upper right flank, incorporating brass piping sections, isolation valves, and an analogue pressure gauge dial. The front access panel features a recessed horizontal latch detail and subtle corner branding. Proportions reflect a compact mechanical ventilation accessory designed for direct coupling with residential MVHR heat recovery systems.

The download is a 1.7 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load the RFA component directly into MEP project environments to coordinate mechanical plant layouts. Connect supply ductwork to the top spigot and route hydraulic pipework from the side-mounted manifold into geothermal loop circuits. The family facilitates spatial clearance checks against architectural partitions, clash detection with electrical containment, and accurate documentation within mechanical equipment schedules.

Specified primarily in low-energy residential architecture, passive house projects, and multi-family developments, this brine-to-air pre-heating unit regulates incoming fresh air temperatures across seasonal extremes. Engineers coordinate it within utility rooms, plant basements, and mechanical cupboards adjacent to primary heat recovery ventilation units. Relevant for building services BIM deliverables, technical schematics, and equipment coordination models requiring exact physical envelopes.
