Principle and Operation 1 Principle and Operation Hoval rotary heat exchangers are regenerators with rotating heat accumulators (category 3) in accordance with the guide- lines for heat recovery (e.g. VDI 2071). The heat-dissipating and heat-absorbing air flows heat or cool the rotating, air-permeable storage accumulator.

Principle and Operation Warm air entry Mid warm air Warm air exit The rotation of the storage mass has The wheel duct now has passed half of The wheel duct is now shortly before entry moved the wheel duct from the cold air its time in the warm air.
Principle and Operation 1.2 Humidity transmission The following must be noted: ■ The greater the condensation potential the greater the In addition to heat, humidity can also be transported with volume of condensate that can be expected at the warm rotary heat exchangers.
Principle and Operation 1.3 Leakage of rotary heat exchangers There are 3 different designs: Condensation wheel Rotary heat exchangers transfer heat and humidity via a The storage mass consists of smooth, untreated aluminium, rotating storage mass that alternates between the exhaust which only transmits humidity if condensation occurs on the air and supply air flows.
1.5 Temperature efficiency 1.8 Hygiene Appropriate design and serial layout allows virtually any Hoval rotary heat exchangers with high tightness seal have temperature efficiency to be reached. The 'correct' temper- been tested for conformity with hygiene requirements at the ature efficiency depends on the applicable regulations and Institute for Air Hygiene in Berlin.
Therefore, regulation of the output of the Hoval rotary heat exchanger is not necessary if the extract air temperature is identical to the setpoint temperature. In this case, the fresh air is always either heated or cooled in the direction of the set temperature by the heat exchanger.
Structure 3 Structure A functional rotary heat exchanger consists of the wheel, the casing and the drive. 3.1 Wheel Storage mass A corrugated and a smooth metal foil are wound together as the storage mass. This forms triangular, axial ducts. The Fig.

4.7 Duct design The speed of rotation of the wheel can be monitored with an The side walls of the casings in Hoval rotary heat inductive sensor. Stoppages, e.g. caused by a broken v-belt, exchangers with ducts are enclosed. This makes them suit- can be detected quickly and the cause can be corrected.
