Problem Description

• Enthalpy wheel not always needed
• Most effective for large temperature differences
• Wheel causes pressure drop and consumes energy
• Accurate flow rates measurement needed
• Cost effective means of measuring airstreams is
  needed
• Integrated into control system to control air
  flow

5
Objectives

• Determine increased flow rate due to decrease in
  pressure drop
• Determine annual energy savings due to reduced
  fan speed
• Flow measuring device
• Develop cost effective means of measuring
  airstreams
• Requires an accuracy of 8
• Ensure compliance with existing control system
