Description
FIXEDPLATECOUNTERFLOWEXCHANGER
Heat exchanger with moving parts and alternate layers of plates, separated and sealed from the exhaust and supply air stream passages with primary air entering at secondary air outlet location and exiting at secondary air inlet location.
FIXEDPLATECROSSFLOWEXCHANGER
Heat exchanger with moving parts and alternate layers of plates, separated and sealed from the exhaust and supply air stream passages with secondary air flow in the direction perpendicular to primary air flow.
FIXEDPLATEPARALLELFLOWEXCHANGER
Heat exchanger with moving parts and alternate layers of plates, separated and sealed from the exhaust and supply air stream passages with primary air entering at secondary air inlet location and exiting at secondary air outlet location.
HEATPIPE
A passive energy recovery device with a heat pipe divided into evaporator and condenser sections.
ROTARYWHEEL
A heat wheel with a revolving cylinder filled with an air-permeable medium having a large internal surface area.
RUNAROUNDCOILLOOP
A typical coil energy recovery loop places extended surface, finned tube water coils in the supply and exhaust airstreams of a building.
THERMOSIPHONCOILTYPEHEATEXCHANGERS
Sealed systems that consist of an evaporator, a condenser, interconnecting piping, and an intermediate working fluid that is present in both liquid and vapor phases where the evaporator and condensor coils are installed independently in the ducts and are interconnected by the working fluid piping.
THERMOSIPHONSEALEDTUBEHEATEXCHANGERS
Sealed systems that consist of an evaporator, a condenser, interconnecting piping, and an intermediate working fluid that is present in both liquid and vapor phases where the evaporator and the condenser are usually at opposite ends of a bundle of straight, individual thermosiphon tubes and the exhaust and supply ducts are adjacent to each other.
TWINTOWERENTHALPYRECOVERYLOOPS
An air-to-liquid, liquid-to-air enthalpy recovery system with a sorbent liquid circulates continuously between supply and exhaust airstreams, alternately contacting both airstreams directly in contactor towers.

Last change: Improve definition split (#876)
* bring back headers
headers were previously removed by mistake, now bringing them back
* add new lines and rename the tag
add the word 'short' in it
* unify newlines
make exactly one newline before and two after the tag
* resolving typos
Because bringing back headers required to go back in time to previous version, I'm now re-resolving the issues: #861, #860, #856 by ArturTomczak on 2024-07-16T16:07:28+02:00
