RECOM 3 SR EC Rotary Heat Recovery Unit
Smart rotary and sorption air handling unit with EC motors
Enjoy a perfect microclimate without any hassle. RECOM 3 series air handling units with rotary or sorption heat exchangers ensure efficient ventilation, return a portion of indoor moisture back to your home, and do not require condensate drainage. A compact and quiet device for your home comfort.
Energy-saving - A class
Advanced electronically commutated (EC) motors ensure 1.5 - 3 times lower electricity consumption compared to standard solutions.
Retains indoor moisture
Rotary and especially sorption heat exchangers help prevent dry air problems in winter by returning moisture from the exhaust air.
Simple installation
Due to the specifics of rotary technologies, this unit does not require the installation of a condensate drainage system (siphon).
Why choose RECOM 3 SR/SRS EC?
The RECOM 3 series rotary air handling units are designed for those who value silence, comfort, and a natural indoor microclimate. Thanks to advanced EC motors, these units ensure smooth and extremely quiet ventilation. Installation is simple and convenient as there is no need to worry about condensate drainage.
Rotary (SR) or Sorption (SRS) heat exchanger?
Both models ensure excellent heat recovery, but their main difference lies in moisture management. The standard rotary (SR) heat exchanger naturally returns some moisture. If your home's air becomes particularly dry in winter, the Sorption (SRS) variant with an alumosilicate coating will absorb moisture from the exhaust air and efficiently return it to the rooms, guaranteeing ideal comfort without additional humidifiers.
Complete ventilation system with RECOM
For the air handling unit to operate at maximum efficiency, the entire ductwork system is important. The RECOM 3 series is adapted for use with 160 mm ducts. The ORO Haus team will help plan and assemble all the necessary accessories - from flexible ducts to silencers and control automation.

This guide covers the main installation principles for the RECOM 3 SR and SRS units. You can always find the full manufacturer's manual in the specifications tab.
What is in the box
The manufacturer's package includes:
- Fully assembled air handling unit with a rotary or sorption heat exchanger
- Filter set
- Operation and installation manual
What you will need additionally
For a successful installation, you may need:
- Wall mounting hardware
- Vibration isolation pads
- Control panel (FP or FPD - sold separately)
- Ductwork system components (160 mm)
Dimensions and location selection
The unit is mounted vertically. It is essential to leave enough space in front of the unit to freely open the doors for filter replacement and heat exchanger inspection.
Duct connection
160 mm diameter ducts are used. To prevent vibration transmission to the building structures, it is recommended to use flexible connectors between the air handling unit and rigid ducts.
Condensate drainage
Important: Since both RECOM 3 variants (SR and SRS) are rotary, condensate does not accumulate inside the unit. There is no need to install condensate drain pipes or siphons.
Electrical connection
The air handling unit connects to a standard single-phase 230V network. Power cable connection must only be performed by a qualified specialist.
Control systems
The chosen control panel (wired) is connected according to the manufacturer's electrical diagram. If the FP WF module is used, smartphone control can be configured.
First start
Before turning on, ensure that:
- Filters are in place
- All duct connections are sealed
- After starting the unit, set the desired flows via the panel and check system operation
Maintenance and filters
It is recommended to check filters every 3-4 months and replace them as needed (at least twice a year). The rotary heat exchanger should be inspected annually and gently cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

Build your ventilation system with RECOM 3 SR/SRS EC
Configure your entire ventilation system easily. Add matching 160 mm ducts, a control panel, and silencers all in one place.
