Industrial applications of air-to-air energy recovery can make a major impact on energy conservation. The common devices for transferring heat from one air stream to another are the rotary regenerative unit known as the heat wheel; the coil runaround cycle to transfer sensible heat; the desiccant spray runaround cycle to transfer both sensible and latent heat; the heat pipe; and stationary conductive metal heat exchangers. The application and maintenance of recovery systems for both HVAC and industrial installations are discussed. General applications include space heating and/or cooling; recovery of heat from a process to return the heat to the process; recovery of heat from a process to return the heat to another process; recovery of heat from a process to use it for makeup air heating or space heating; recovery of heat used in fume incineration for use in a process; and lowering of process exhaust temperatures to a level compatible with emission control equipment.
