The Rotary Heat Exchanger consists of a thermal wheel
that rotates at slow speed and transfers heat from the
fresh air to exhaust air during cooling cycle and from
the exhaust air to the fresh air during heat cycle.
The thermal wheel is of the hydroscopic type, made of
fire proof materials, consisting of an assembly of smooth
and corrugated strips of specially treated aluminum foil,
creating a number of axial passages through which the air
flows. The drive unit consists of a geared electric motor
and chain drive with provision for chain tensioning. One
side of the casing will be provided with a removable access
panel, for withdrawal of the wheel and the maintenance
of the motor.
