Energy Recover y Purge (ERP) and Energ y Efficiency Purge (EEP) are two energy saving solutions that
recycles heat f rom the rotor, after the reactivation section in the rotational direction of the rotor. A minor
part of the reactivation airflow is bypassed to the war m sector of the rotor, before the airflow enters the
reactivation heater. T he airflow is heated up by the rotor and then mixed with the reactivation airflow, after
the r eactivation heater. The recycled heat from the rotor increases the efficiency and reduces the energy
consumption.
Compared to a standard unit, ERP will give the same dehumidification capacity with reduced reactivation
heater energ y. With EEP, the reactivat ion heater energy is the same as in a standard unit, while the
dehumidification capacity is increased.
Thepurge airflow duct on MX² 30 is installed on the rear side of the unit. The purge airflow (ERP, EEP,

Thepurge airflow duct on MX² 35–95 is located inside the unit and the purge airflow (ERP, EEP) cannot be
adjusted. An a djustable damper for Low Dewpoint Purge is located on top of the unit.
