Summary

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE PERFORMANCE OF AN AIR-TO-AIR THERMOSIPHON-BASED HEAT EXCHANGER UTILIZING R22 HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT TO INVESTIGATE ITS BEHAVIOUR UNDER DIFFERENT OPERATING CONDITIONS. A TEST INSTALLATION HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO MODEL A VARIETY OF HVAC REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS. THE RESULTS DESCRIBE THE INFLUENCE OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS SUCH AS: SUPPLY AND EXHAUST AIR STREAM MASS FLOW RATES, STREAM TEMPERATURES AND EXHAUST STREAM MOISTURE CONTENT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HEAT EXCHANGERS. HEAT EXCHANGER HEAT FLOW HYSTERESIS HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED. SOME OPTIMIZATION CRITERIA ARE PRESENTED.
