I see what you mean Philippe. Leaks, there will be any way (and where to?). But will it be able to degrade performance significantly? At random I say that the leakage rate will be negligible compared to the flow that will pass in the plates. It's not catastrophic, it's 2 once air with a difference in temperature and humidity. Mix not toxic
This leads to the choice of the position of the fans, I started on the assumption that the efficiency of the fan is better with the main pressure drop at the exit and not at the entrance. Does this justify the position I gave them?
Another "advantage" the ventilator insufflator makes its "purr" behind the filter and the exchanger before it happens in the rooms. It seems to me to be the quietest mode.
