Spin Your Wheels for Energy Savings

摘要

Heat recovery wheels shrink cooling loads by as much as 80% Sustainability comes in many forms, and one of the least celebrated - yet most effective - can shrink both the physical footprint of the HVAC system and the carbon footprint of the facility. It comes in a box that remains hidden for years, working quietly and diligently to boost indoor air quality and slash energy use. Curious? It's the enthalpy wheel, which is eminently worthy of consideration for new and retrofit projects. Philip C. Bartholomew, P.E., a LEED-accredited expert in HVAC system design and laboratories with HDR CUH2A, explains, "Enthalpy wheels, unlike other heat recovery devices, are designed to recover latent loads - moisture and humidity loads - as well as temperature-sensible loads."
