OSTI ID:5220871

Air-to-air heat exchangers were researched and developed in the Appropriate Technology Small Grants Program, 1978 to 1981. This publication examines the results of this work as well as provides information for builders, architects and skilled owner-builders on the basics of using air-to-air heat exchangers in residential settings, including: how heat exchangers work; why they are needed and when they are appropriate; how to choose an adequate ventilation rate and a machine that fits the purpose; how to install, control and maintain the machine; assessing the state-of-the-art in this technology; and information on supplies, ventilation standards and where to go for further information on heat exchangers.
