This report describes the first design of an HVAC heat exchanger using the Sandia Cooler, i.e. air - bearing supported rotating heat exchanger. The project included developing baseline performance requirements based on a residential HVAC system, analysis and design development of a Sandia Cooler assembly including a UTRC - designed diffuser, and performance measurement and validation of this heat exchange system under realistic indoor and outdoor conditions.
