An Energy Recovery Ventilator:
Recovers the Energy from the
airstream discharged from
a building and transfers this energy
to the incoming air used for
Ventilation.

Types of Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Plate Exchangers – Sensible Recovery With Limited Latent Recovery
– Typically Less Than 50% Effective
– Airstream Separation When Exhaust Pollution is A Concern
– Exchangers Tend to Get Very Large And Heavy in Larger CFM’s

Types of Air to Air Energy Recovery
Rotary Wheels
– Highest Sensible and Latent
Recovery
– 60 – 80% Effective
– Most Compact in Larger CFM’s
