Improving System EER with Energy Recovery Technology
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Chair: Gregory M Dobbs, Ph.D., Member, United Technologies Corporation, East Hartford, CT

Greater use of air-to-air heat exchang-ers for energy recovery from ventilation air is of increasing importance in green and sustainable buildings where improved IAQ and energy conservation are conflicting requirements. When used with properly sized HVAC equipment, HRV’s and ERV’s can enable the system to achieve an effective EER that is up to 30% higher than that of the equipment alone. Matching the effective system SHR to the conditioned space latent and sensible loads also leads to improved humidity control. This seminar addresses system concepts that remain underappreciated by the sustainable design community.

Is it Possible or Practical to Recover Energy from Kitchen Hood Exhaust?
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery; TC 5.10
Moderator: Donald R. Fisher, Associate, P. Eng, Fisher-Nickel, inc., San Ramon, CA
APC Liaison: Kenneth M. Clark, P.E., Burns & McDonnell, Kansas City, MO

Energy recovery from kitchen exhaust is not common despite its attractiveness for heating the makeup air and/or domestic water. The grease-laden characteristic of exhaust from cooking presents a technical and a local code challenge for the installation of energy recovery equipment. Although one manufacturer of kitchen ventilation equipment developed a heat recovery module, successful installations have not been documented. Similarly, engineered systems have been anecdotally reported for institutional kitchens in northern climate zones. Feedback from the design community on the potential for heat recovery from kitchen exhaust systems and the role of ASHRAE is sought.

APC Liaison: Wayne Frazell, P.E., Ft. Worth, TX

The cost of installing air-to-air energy recovery systems is often calculated without accounting for costs savings from downsizing heating and air-conditioning equipment. When these avoided costs are considered, air-to-air energy recovery is often a low-cost or no-cost energy saving measure. Conversely, inappropriate application of air-to-air energy recovery (e.g., using sensible rather than total heat recovery in hot humid applications or not downsizing air-conditioning) may create problems without providing anticipated benefits. Speakers present case studies demonstrating costs and benefits.

Wei Shang, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada; Maury Wawryk, Associate Member, Venmar CES, Saskatoon, SK, Canada; Robert W. Besant, P.E., Fellow, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada

Crossover between the exhaust and supply air is measured and analyzed for a commercially available energy wheel with typical sliding seals on the rotary wheel faces and perimeter. It was found that a purge section could reduce, but not eliminate, carryover of exhaust gases to the supply due to wheel rotation only when the supply air pressure is greater than the exhaust. Increasing pressure differences between the supply and the exhaust decreased the ventilation air flow rate compared to the maximum supply side flow rate. This reduction was much larger for a wheel with a purge section than one without.

Wei Shang and Robert Besant, P.E., Fellow, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
In the paper the outlet air flow properties are measured for a typical rotary energy wheel. It was found that the air temperature, humidity, and velocity are non-uniform in both the radial and angular directions adjacent to the outlet air faces of the wheel. Depending on the operating conditions and over the supply and exhaust outlet faces, the variations in temperature ranged from 2 to 6 degrees Celsius or .10 to .55 of the inlet temperature difference, variations in the relative humidity ranged from 7 to 15%, and variations in the velocity ranged from 1.0 to 2.8 m/s or .38 to 1.2 of the average velocity.

The findings for non-uniform outlet flow properties in Part 1 were used to devise a simple method of in situ testing of rotary energy wheels in HVAC applications. This method uses only data taken at one angular position for the supply and exhaust outlets. Using these data, the resulting calculated effectiveness are within 5% for sensible, 7% for latent, and 5% for total effectiveness of the standard test method results. A set of steps for in situ performance testing of energy wheels is presented and discussed.

The Squeeze Between Standards 62 and 90: Real World Solutions with Air to Air Energy Recovery
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Chair: Dilip Vyavaharkar, Member, Carrier Corp., Syracuse, NY
APC Liaison: Michael N. Hart, P.E., Energy Engineering Associates

As more buildings are being upgraded to meet the ventilation requirements of Standard 62-89, existing HVAC Systems are often unable to handle the additional loads imposed by the increased ventilation air. Trying to satisfy this additional load using traditional systems can also have a negative impact on the energy efficiency requirements imposed by Standard 90.1. Thus the engineer is faced with the challenge of designing systems that can simultaneously meet the requirements of the two standards. This seminar presents three case studies demonstrating how innovative designs are being used to solve this apparent conflict between Standard 62-89 and 90.1.

Ventilation in Residences: Mechanical versus Non-Mechanical
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Chair: Bede W. Wellford, Member, Airxchange, Inc., Rockland, MA
APC Liaison: Janet M. Lynch, Johnson Controls, Inc.

Historically, ventilation in homes has been provided by a combination of filtration, chimneys and operable sash. Mechanical exhaust has been used to provide controlled ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens. In recent years, housing technology and construction has advanced, particularly in the area of insulation and building envelope tightness. In response, a variety of approaches to ventilating the house have emerged. This seminar provides insight into the indoor air quality and energy impacts of residential ventilation through recent research and practice.

The Squeeze Between Standard 62.and 90, Cost-Effective Ventilation Strategies
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Chair: Kirk T. Mescher, P.E., Associate, CM Engineering, Columbia, MO
APC Liaison: Emil Friberg, P.E., Friberg Associates, Inc.

ASHRAE Standard 62-89 "Ventilation for Acceptable Air Quality" and ASHRAE Standard 90.1 "Energy Efficient Design of New Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings" play a major role in the HVAC industry. Ventilating to ASHRAE 62-89 imposes addition heating and cooling loads for buildings which contradicts the direction of ASHRAE 90.1. This seminar reveals how energy recovery technology resolves the conflict between the ventilation ratesof ASHRAE Standard 62-89 and the energy conservation embodied within ASHRAE Standard 90.1.

Determining the Performance of Energy Wheels, Part 1: Experimental and Numerical Methods (RP-862) (4243)
Sponsor: TC 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Robert Besant, P.E., Fellow, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada; Dustin L. Ciepliski, M. Sc., Cochrane PBK Engineering LTD, Burlington, ON, Canada; Carey J. Simonson, Ph.D., P.E., Student Member, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
In this paper, controlled laboratory experiment and a detailed numerical model are presented which, together with uncertainty analysis, can quantify the performance of energy wheels. A numerical model that has been developed form physical principles and an experimental method for determining the performance of energy wheels with acceptable uncertainties are detailed. Included is a pre-test, during-test and post-test uncertainty analysis that allows the experimenter to estimate accurately precision (random) and bias (fixed) errors. A comprehensive set of measured data for the sensible, latent and total effectiveness of an energy wheel is compared with the corresponding simulation results in Part 2.

Determining the Performance of Energy Wheels, Part 2: Experimental Data and Numerical Validation (RP-862) (4244)
Sponsor: TC 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Robert Besant, P.E., Fellow, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada; Dustin L. Ciepliski, M. Sc., Cochrane PBK Engineering LTD, Burlington, ON, Canada; Carey J. Simonson, Ph.D., P.E., Student Member, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
Experimentally measured and numerically simulated performance data is presented for an energy wheel operating in a wide range of conditions for mass flux, temperature and humidity. Both the simulated and numerical results show that the three effectiveness values (I.e., sensible, latent and total) are unequal and each has its own unique sensitivity to operating conditions. Simulated results with the numerical model show that experimental result measured sensible effectiveness by up to 7%. The proposed method of determining energy wheel performance is to validate a detailed numerical model with a range of accurate experimental data and then use the model to predict performance for other operating conditions.

Designing Environmentally Friendly Restaurants and Pubs
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Chair: Don Fisher, P.E., Associate Member, Fisher Consultants, Dawville, CA
APC Liaison: Charles McDowell, Alabama Power Company

Results from recent studies in the United Kingdom have shown that there is a marketing advantage where pubs and restaurants have been designed to project an environmental friendly image. A key issue was energy efficiency with British pubs consuming more energy than hospitals and health care facilities. Because new pubs are rare and traditional pubs more successful, the Brewers Society and UK Department of Energy conducted a demonstration project in which 68 pubs were refurbished to embody energy efficient technologies. This paper reports on the results of this project and subsequent monitoring studies.

Do ASHRAE Engineers Have the Tools to Design "Acceptable" Smoking Areas in Restaurants and Bars?
Sponsor: TC 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
APC Liaison: Robert Suggs
Moderator: Donald R. Fisher, P.E., Member, Fisher Consultants, Danville, California

The key to controlling a smoking environment is to provide enough ventilation for the space and efficiently direct the air over the smoking area. Naturally, when you increase the amount of outdoor air for ventilation, your heating and cooling loads are greater which in turn increases the building's operational costs. Restaurants and bars are searching for cost effective retrofit solutions to their problems. Do ASHRAE engineers have the right tools to design smoking areas cost effectively? Can a cost effective solution result in 'acceptable' indoor air quality?

A summary of this forum is available as a pdf file.

How Will Deregulation of Electricity Impact Energy Recovery Ventilation?
Sponsor: TC 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
APC Liaison: Larry Markel
Moderator: Lawrence C. Hoagland, Ph.D., P.E., Member, Airxchange Inc., Rockland, Massachusetts

The coming deregulation of electric utilities is already shrinking marketing and demand side management programs, eliminating many utility rebates for installation of energy conservation equipment. Will these developments impact the installation of ventilation energy recovery equipment? Have DSM Programs been a factor influencing the specification and purchase of ERVs? How much did DSM programs impact use of ERVs? Will the shift from utility DSM programs to "Shared Savings Programs" and to "Custom Energy Programs" by private companies actually help promote ERV installation? What information/tools could these programs require in order to better utilize the ERV "resource"? This forum will stimulate a discussion of these issues at a time when utility deregulation is just being launched.
