“…Using hourly simulations for office and hospital buildings in four different North American cities, Rasouli et al [77,82,83] found that a RAMEE provided up to 40% to 60% annual heating energy saving and up to 20% annual cooling energy saving in the office and hospital buildings, depending on the climate and RAMEE effectiveness. The payback period of the RAMEE was within 2 years in cold climates and 1 to 5 years in hot climates [83].…”

The European Union’s 2020 and 2030 sustainable energy policies seek significant reductions in both energy consumption and carbon emissions. These policies demand a greater use of energy efficient technologies and a transition away from fossil fuels. This paper studies one such technology, an indoor climate control system with a reverse-flow enthalpy recovery ventilator, capable of recovering both sensible and latent heat. The thermal performance characteristics are established using an experimental facility and calculation methods defined by European Standard EN 13141-7:2010. This involves measurement of temperature, humidity, pressure and volumetric air flow rates over a range of operating conditions. Total thermal energy recovery rates ranged from 0.63 kW to 2.2 kW, with energy recovery efficiency of 72.8 % to 88.6 %. The recovery efficiency ratio, which reflects the capacity of the indoor climate control system to recover thermal energy relative to its power consumption ranged between 6.87 to 19.97. Due to the unique reverse-flow defrost function, the system demonstrates operation down to -7 °C without frost formation. These results highlight the potential that this system can make towards the EU goals of reducing energy consumption, operating costs and carbon emissions associated with indoor climate control.

“…The bypass control for heat recovery from the air-air heat exchanger (AAHE) was found promising during winter at 24 o C indoor air temperature [7]. The reduction in annual heating consumption by 40 % through heat recovery using the AAHE was reported based on investigation using TRNSYS building simulation [11].…”
