Abstract

Air-to-air energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are able to reduce the required energy to condition ventilation air in buildings. Among different types of ERVs, fixed-bed regenerators (FBRs) have a higher ratio of heat transfer area to volume. However, there is limited research on FBRs for HVAC applications. This paper presents preliminary experimental and numerical research of FBRs at the University of Saskatchewan. The numerical and experimental results for effectiveness of FBR agree within experimental uncertainty bounds and the results agree with available empirical correlations in the literature.
