Description

Total heat exchangers are used in many countries as energy-saving devices for air-conditioning in buildings. But they have sometimes caused a problem of odor transfer because of accumulation of offensive odor in the desiccant.We have investigated the cause of this problem and a possible solution. The result is to use a novel total heat exchanger with little odor transfer using ion exchange resin as a desiccant.The odor transfer properties of this novel total heat exchanger were analyzed in comparison with those of a conventional total heat exchanger using silica gel. A comparison was also made with other desiccants such as synthesized zeolite.
