Summary

The objectives of this work are: to evaluate and optimize a method of operation of a combined system of energy recovery for air conditioning systems by means of one configuration in series of three devices, semi-indirect evaporative cooler of ceramic tubes, which recover sensible and latent energy, using the refrigeration effect by evaporation of water transmitted through its porous ceramic structure to a non saturated airflow, or by the sensible cooling of air by water flow. Heat-pipes heat recovery battery and an air-air heat pump, which allow low temperature residual energy recovery. Experimental design methodology was used in test beds. This combined system will allow reducing investment cost in air conditioning equipment, to lower energy consumption of the buildings and reduce CO2 environmental impact in emissions using less HCFCs.
