S26 -- Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Equipment (I-P)

Air-to-air energy recovery is the process of recovering heat or/and moisture between two airstreams at different temperatures and humidities. This process is important in maintaining accept-able indoor air quality (IAQ) while maintaining low energy costs and reducing overall energy consumption. This chapter describes various technologies for air-to-air energy recovery. Thermal and economic performance, maintenance, and related operational issues are presented, with emphasis on energy recovery for ventilation.
