ONSET OF FREEZING IN RESIDENTIAL AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGERS.

Author(s) : FISK W. J.

Summary

MECHANICAL VENTILATION OF RESIDENCES, WITH HEAT RECOVERY IN AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGERS, IS AN INCREASINGLY COMMON PRACTICE. IN COLD CLIMATES, FREEZING CAN OCCUR IN THE AIR-TO-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER AND SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE ITS PERFORMANCE. A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO FREEZING. THE RESULTS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS IN THE PAPER AND WITH DATA FROM TWO FIELD STUDIES CONDUCTED WITH SIMILAR HEAT EXCHANGERS.
