Air-to-air energy recovery generally refers to the process of recovering energy and/or moisture from an air stream at a high temperature or humidity to an air stream at low temperature or humidity This process has gained significant importance in the light of maintaining acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) while at the same time maintaining low energy costs and reducing the overall energy consumption. Global warming is suspected by many to be the direct result of release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air during the process of energy generation from typical air exhaust.
Our units can handle corrosive exhaust air (for example; pool chemicals, salt air or other contaminates) with little or no maintenance and without cross contamination, a wide variety of applications are practical. The units used for this purpose are called sensible (temperature only) heat exchange devices or Heat Recovery Ventilators′ (HRV). The devices that allow transfer of both heat energy and moisture are known as ′energy′ or ′enthalpy devices′ or ′Energy Recovery Ventilators′ (ERV).
The BPE X-Type All Weather Heat Recovery Ventilator uses patented control logic, non-corroding monolithic polymer construction and advanced direct counter flow technology to process the incoming outdoor air. During operation, polluted exhaust air and the fresh incoming air exchange heat and cooling very efficiently. This virtually eliminates the need for further air tempering through the HVAC system. For example, with the heat exchanger providing an estimated airflow of 481 ft/min. 100°F outdoor air can be preconditioned to 74.1°F with 70.0°F room air temperature, no further cooling is needed. This allows the rehabilitation of existing buildings without extensive HVAC retrofits to meet IAQ standards and permitting requirements.
