| Planned Research Activities
At the Louisville meeting, the TC 5.5
Research Subcommittee considered an RTAR and a work
statement.
The RTAR,
authored by R.W. Besant & C. J. Simonson, is on the
topic of "Writing and Development of an ASHRAE
Guide for Air-to-Air Energy Recovery/Exchange Devices
& Systems: Performance & Economics for HVAC Applications."
The work
statement, authored by John Murphy and Lew Harriman,
has been assigned number WS-1565 by ASHRAE, is on the
topic of "Development of the ASHRAE Design Guide
for Dedicated Outdoor-Air Systems."
Completed Research Projects
Here is a bibliography
of publications related to this TC's work, from
1997 to 2007.
Research Project 862-RP "Development of a Methodology
to Design and Predict the Part Load Performance of an Energy
Recovery Ventilator/Energy Recovery Device"
Sponsoring TC: 5.5
Research Institution: University of Saskatchewan
Principal Investigator: Professor R. W. Besant
Objectives:
- to propose field testing procedures for air-to-air energy
exchangers
- to monitor accurately the inlet and outlet properties
and calculate the performance of four different types of
air-to-air energy exchangers
- to analyze the collected data for errors or uncertainty
for each system
- to compare the results with theoretical results
- to correlate the results in a form useful to industry
- to report on the findings and write papers.
A more detailed summary of
Research Project 862 is available on line.
For the complete report, please contact ASHRAE.
Research Project 182 The Work Statement for Research
Project 182 is not yet posted on-line.
Old Research Documents
The last formal Research Plan available at this time
is a draft dated February 2000. At that time, the Research
Subcommittee had three research ideas, two of which
had one-page research plans written. The TC also has
a list of other ideas we intend to develop.
Research Plan
PRIORITY 1:
Energy Wheels: Frost Control and Standard 84
PRIORITY
2:
Air-to-Air Energy Recovery System Design Guideline and
Short Course
PRIORITY
3:
Energy efficient methodologies to provide ventilation
for a healthy indoor environment
The TC also has one draft work statement, which is
not prioritized on the Research Plan:
Please note that these research ideas may have been
superseded by more recent discussions in the Research
Subcommittee.
The full TC brainstormed on research ideas at the Seattle
meeting, and identified several additional ideas. See
the Seattle minutes
for a list.
