The present invention provides a heat exchanger unit that can appropriately inhibit
freezing of a heat exchange element even in cold climates. The heat exchanger unit
performes heat exchange and ventilation between an indoor space and an outdoor
space, and is provided with a heat exchange element, a supply air passage and an
exhaust air passage that are routed via the heat exchange element, a temperature
sensor, and a control unit. The temperature sensor detects the outside air temperature.
The control unit executes a first freeze inhibit control mode, which inhibits freezing
of the heat exchange element, if the outside air temperature falls below a first
level, and a second freeze inhibit control mode, which inhibits freezing of the
heat exchange element more strongly than the first freeze inhibit control mode,
if the outside air temperature falls below a second level, which is lower than
the first level.
