EFFECT OF RESIDENTIAL AIR-TO-AIR HEAT AND MOISTURE EXCHANGERS ON INDOOR HUMIDITY.

Author(s) : BARRINGER C. G., MCGUGAN C. A.

Summary

SPACE CONDITIONS WITHIN THREE HOUSE/OCCUPANCY MODELS FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATORS (HRVS) WERE SIMULATED FOR 3 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS (LAKE CHARLES, LA; SEATTLE, WA; AND WINNIPEG, MB) IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF THE HRVS ON INDOOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND SPACE-CONDITIONING LOADS. WHEN REDUCTION OF COOLING COST IS THE MAIN CONSIDERATION, EXCHANGERS WITH MOISTURE RECOVERY ARE PREFERABLE TO SENSIBLE HRVS. FOR HOUSES WITH HIGHER VENTILATION RATES AND COLDER AVERAGE WINTER TEMPERATURES, EXCHANGERS WITH MOISTURE RECOVERY SHOULD BE USED.
