Air-to-air energy recovery is the process of recovering energy or/and moisture from an airstream at a high temperature or humidity to an airstream at a low temperature or humidity. This process is important in maintaining acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) while maintaining low energy costs and reducing overall energy consumption. This chapter describes various technologies for air-to-air energy recovery. Thermal and economic performance, maintenance, and related operational issues are presented, with emphasis on energy recovery for ventilation.

Standard: Standard 84-1991 -- Method of Testing Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers (ANSI approved)

The purpose of this standard is to establish a uniform method of testing for obtaining performance data; specify data required, calculations to be used, and reporting procedures for testing the performance of an air-to-air heat exchanger; specify types of test equipment for performing such tests.
