    Energy exchangers

    Energy recovery systems are very

    common in current building designs

    There are 3 common energy recoverysystems on the market.

    1. The rotary heat exchanger (RHE)

    2. The plate heat exchanger (PHE)

    3. The run around coils (RAC)

    There are a number of things to be considered when selecting an energy

    recovery system:

    Energy recovery efficiency combined with the pressure drop

    Space in the equipment room

    Location of air handling units

    The duct connection

    Leakage and odor transfer (cross-contamination in the recovery system)

    What does IEC mean ?

    To clarify the function of Indirect

    evaporative cooling (IEC)

    IEC is a way of getting more coolingrecovery from the exhaust air.

    The idea is to humidify the exhaust airwith water. The water evaporates anddecreases the air temperature and thecooling recovery becomes even moreeffective.

    Thanks to the recovery system (RAC)there is no risk of cross contamination

    between the air streams which avoidsthe risk of getting humid air back intothe supply air.

    What are the benefits of IEC ?

    It is a good system for applications

    where it is of importance to cut of thepeak loads from the chiller. In thiscase the chiller size can be reducedby approx. 45%.

    For markets with warmer climates it

    reduces the additional cooling energyas well.

  • 8/3/2019 Econet Heat Recovery Slides

    42/82

    ECONET: Special protection of the supply air filter

    Basics:

    In some regions, there is a need toprotect the supply air filter.Otherwise the high humidity undercertain outdoor air conditions maydamage the filter.

    To protect the filter a pre-heater isinstalled before the filter, heating theoutdoor air for approx 35 F

    The negative aspect of a traditionalpre-heater is that the systemdestroys the heat recovery.

  • 8/3/2019 Econet Heat Recovery Slides

    43/82

    ECONET: Special protection of the supply air filter

    Solution:

    The preferred solution is to use a pre-heater combined in the heat recoverycircuit.

    This has following benefits: Heat recovery efficiency is

    maintained

    No primary heat connections tothe pre-heater

    No risk of frozen pre-heater coils

    The most important issues to prevent leakage:

    1. System filled up with right kind of glycol, Etylen glycol mixture for HVAC purpose2. Use Pre mixed liquid

    3. If mixed on site, then wait at least 24 h to get rid of air in the liquid

    4. Do not use the ECONET pump to fill or/and to clean the system

    5. Be sure that You get rid of all flushing/cleaning liquid before filling the system

    6. Dont run the pump dry (air), the pump sealing burns and get destroyed

    1. Use the air purging screw on the pump to get rid of air from the pump2. Use automatic air purging valves combined with manual air purging valves3. The first weeks the manual valve open and the automatic valve working4. When the air is out then close the manual valve

    7. After some time check that no air has come in to the system1. If air then open the manual air purging valve, if continuous problem, check leakage

    8. Expansion vessel on the suction side of the pump, safety valve opening pressure min 3 bar

    9. Use a closed liquid filling system.1. No open filling vessel, risk of bacterial growth, later on might pump in to the system

    10. Check the liquid quality, colour, freezing point etc

    Avoid leakage in the future: Top 10

    The most important checks when starting up ECONET:

    1. Check all pipe connections (counter flow)

    2. System filled up with right kind of glycol

    3. System purged of air and has an air purging system

    4. Expansion vessel on the suction side of the pump

    5. Electricity connection to ECONET frequency inverter and control box6. Controls connected

    7. ECONET gets the supply air flow

    8. Nothing on manual drive (frequency inverter, by-pass valve)

    9. Configure the ECONET controller

    10. Go through the start up protocol and note if something is not perrequirements.

    Start-up: Top 10

    ECONET

    Liquid status Check the freezing point of the frost protection fluid. Check the system pressure and top up with ethylene glycol mixture if necessary.

    Coils Check that the finned surfaces of the coils are not dirty, clean if necessary.

    Water trap Check that water is present in the water trap for the exhaust air and supply air coils.

    Air purging Check frequently in the beginning and after the first year. Stop the pump and wait a couple of hours to make sure that the air bubbles have risen to

    the highest points in the system, open/close all valves in the system so that trapped air canbe removed.

    Valve checking

    Shut down the system and open/close every valve to make sure it has a smooth operation.

    Pump seals Check the seals and if there is too much leakage, change the seals.

    Calculation alternative 1:

    The easiest way to calculateefficiency for an ECONET system isto do it in the BMS system

    The BMS system usually have thetemperatures on the air side:GT00,10,20,21 and gets GT40,41

    and GT42 from the ECONETcontroller by 0-10V signals.

    Calculation alternative 2:

    If temperature efficiency calculation is

    chosen to be calculated by theECONET controls, then the followingsensors are included in the deliveryby the manufacturer.
