THE EFFECT OF FRESH AIR PURGING ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROTARY REGENERATORS FOR ENERGY RECOVERY FROM EXHAUST AIR.

Author(s) : WORSOE-SCHMIDT P.

Summary

IN ORDER TO PREVENT CARRY-OVER OF CONTAMINATED EXHAUST AIR TO THE FRESH AIR IN ROTARY HEAT REGENERATORS, A SMALL PART OF THE FRESH AIR IS USED FOR PURGING THE HEAT TRANSFER MATRIX DURING ITS TRANSFER FROM THE HOT TOTHE COLD ZONE. THIS PURGING GIVES RISE TO A LOSS IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE REGENERATOR. A SIMPLE NUMERICAL SCHEME HAS BEEN DEVISED FOR COMPUTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ROTARY REGENERATORS, AND THE EFFECT OF FRESH AIR PURGING HAS BEEN COMPUTED OVER A WIDE PARAMETER RANGE.
