Our dental surgeries are going to need a ventilation system to reduce risk of corona virus transmission.
It will also reduce the amount of time that we have to wait between patients to allow aerosols to settle prior to cleaning/disinfection procedures.
It appears that a 'air changes per hour' of around 15 would help a lot. the surgery rooms are about 40m3 each and have suspended ceilings.
Does anyone have any experience supplying these things?
Is it possible to have one unit to service 2 adjacent surgeries?

Out of curiosity why do you need heat recovery? Had you have just said extraction it's an easy answer - Envirovent MEV should fit the bill. No doubt they will do an MVHR system that is suitable as well.

You may get better answers in the homes section.

EDIT: I'm talking from a single unit serving two rooms point of view, haven't examined the specs.

I pretty much know nothing about this. I assumed that heat recovery would prevent the rooms from being left freezing cold during the air extraction.
