Description

ASHRAE Research Project 862 “Development of a Methodology to Accurately Design and Predict the Part Load Performance of an Energy Recovery Ventilator/Energy Recovery Device” had as its objectives:
(1) to propose field testing procedures for air-to-air energy exchangers,
(2) to monitor accurately the inlet and outlet properties and calculate the performance of four different types of air-to-air energy exchangers,
(3) to analyze the collected data for errors or uncertainty for each system,
(4) to compare the results with theoretical results,
(5) to correlate the results in a form useful to industry, and
(6) to report on the findings and write papers.

This report contains a comprehensive and critical review of the literature, field and laboratory data and their analyses for several air-to-air heat/energy exchangers, a new theoretical/numerical model for a rotary energy wheel, and its validation for a wide range of operating conditions, and recommendations for changes to ANSI/ASHRAE Std. 84 “Method of Testing Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers” so that it can be adopted for both laboratory and in situ field systems installed in buildings.
