  1. Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) — Operating Principle

    A recuperator (heat recovery unit) transfers heat from exhaust air to incoming fresh air without mixing the two streams.

    ---

    How It Works

    Two airflows:

    Exhaust air (warm, from indoors)

    Supply air (cold, from outside)

    They pass through a heat exchanger:

    separated by plates or channels

    no direct mixing

    heat transfers through the material (conduction)

    Result: → supply air is preheated
    → exhaust air is cooled
    → overall heat loss is reduced

    ---

    Types of Recuperators

    1. Plate Heat Exchanger

    aluminum or plastic plates

    efficiency: ~60–90%

    no moving parts

    2. Rotary (Wheel) Heat Exchanger

    rotating drum

    transfers heat and some moisture

    efficiency: up to ~85–90%

    3. Counterflow Heat Exchanger

    air streams move in opposite directions

    highest efficiency: up to ~95%

    ---

    What Is Transferred

    heat (primary)

    sometimes moisture (in enthalpy units)

    ---

    Efficiency Example

    outside: 0°C

    indoor: +22°C

    after recovery: ~16–20°C

    ---

    Advantages

    reduced heating energy demand

    continuous ventilation without major heat loss

    improved indoor air quality

    ---

    Limitations

    frost formation in winter (needs bypass or preheater)

    filter maintenance required

    upfront cost

    ---

    Core Idea

    A recuperator doesn’t generate heat — it recovers and reuses it.

  2. I need the hashtag Eat Breakfast cause I often just need to eat breakfast and I don't and then my brain lags behind which is bad bad bad.

    Especially bad one of those days when I got extra low energy and I "can't get up".

  3. #MAGA has a New Understanding of the #TRUMPSLUMP 😴

    #ManyPeopleAreSaying that an Extremely
    #LowEnergy individual has been sighted in the #OvalOffice #Slumped over behind a desk.

    🛌 😴 #SLEEPYDON aka #SleepyDonnyTrump
    Should Stop watching 📺 #Fox (NOT) News station & get some sleep at night.

    Afterall, the #TwoPumpCHUMP 🤡
    As #MANYWomen Refer to #DonOLD as, Is the #OldestPresident in History 🇺🇸

    🗣️ Many people Are saying that he is #TooOLD to stay awake without His Uppers 💊

  4. The thing about #solar computing and #offgrid living is that on sunny days, even most days, there's plenty work to do outside / around the house. So, things like poking around net are left to night time and battery power. But thanks to cell hotspot, #rpi and a #lowenergy display, I can now stay online for well deserved hours of #smallweb #retro #futuristic #community fun!

    Zu erledigt, um bei der Doku darüber, wie man zu mehr Energie kommt, wach zu bleiben.

  9. We certainly did deserve better than Dear Leader’s sad vanity parade. As do the soldiers.

    I thought Marco Rubio was going to pull out a lap rug and go to sleep.

  13. I am exhausted. I am going be low energy at this child's birthday party

  14. @Independent not any different than the last two times he tried to lazily lie and cheat his way to winning

  17. Weirdo DonOLD is afraid to go one on one in a debate with a woman. He is exactly what he likes to grab women by, that and a flaming coward. #weak #lame #lowenergy

  19. If you're ever looking to get anything printed nicely can I recommend Footprint Workers Co-op as one of the most ethical #printers you'll find in the UK? 👣

    Based in #Leeds and serving all of the #UK they can do your #fliers, #posters, #zines, CD & record #sleeves, #stickers, business cards, and loads more. 🖨️

    You can find out a little more about them on my website which also links through to them: ethicalrevolution.co.uk/footpr

    ⛔ Although if you're looking to print anything discriminatory or oppressive they'll refuse you. 😊

  21. I`ve ran some benchmarks with #SDL2 and #Raylib, both with #C and #Freepascal on the Pi4 (64bit,4gb)... simple "bunnymark" (how many sprites till it drops under 60fps at 960x540)... very impressed... all 4 tests shows similar results... So my preference will be Pascal with Raylib #gamedev #lowenergy #30wattIsEnough ... maybe I make a video tomorrow

  22. It seems silly to call countries "developed" when all their critical #infrastructure will be obsolete in 30 years and they've not been adapting. "Developing" countries are much better adapted for a #LowEnergy future.
