Air to air fixed plate enthalpy heat exchanger, performance variation and energy analysis

CFD simulation of air to air enthalpy heat exchanger: Variable membrane moisture resistance

“…Past research found that membrane moisture transfer resistance varies when air flow inlet humidity conditions varies [8,9,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. The resistance variation across the membrane of the heat exchanger causes the amount of moisture transferred through the membrane to vary.…”

Air to Air Energy Recovery from HVAC Systems under Different Membrane Materials

“…Al-Waked et al [1,8,9,15,16,26,27] performed detailed investigations on modelling and simulating heat and moisture transfer across porous membranes inside a Z-shape and other configurations heat exchangers. They simulated heat and moisture transfer across both constant and variable resistance membranes.…”

Development and Performance Investigation of Energy Recovery System in Tropical Climate

“…4 Numerous research works have been done on the application of energy recovery systems in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. [5][6][7][8] However, research on the performance of the stand-alone energy recovery system should be emphasised to increase the efficiency of the integrated energy recovery system with the HVAC system. Numerous studies using simulation tools have been conducted to assess energy recovery, but these studies were purely theoretical with little experimental validation.…”

“…Nasif et al carried out performance testing and energy analysis on a Z-type enthalpy heat exchanger in an air-conditioning system using the software HPRate. 6 Masitah et al performed heat transfer and effectiveness analyses for a cross-flow heat exchanger. 14 Zafirah and Mardiana studied the performance of an energy recovery system with changing operating parameters.…”
