Thermal Wheels are installed across hot and cold air ducts. As the Thermal Wheel rotates, the extended surface is heated by the hot air stream. When the rotation passes through the cold air duct, the wheel cools down, thereby transferring heat.
Applications
- Heat recovery
De-humidification of air streams
Efficiency
- Efficiency per volume unit is generally higher than the equivalent Air Plate Heat Exchangers. In addition, for high air flows Thermal Wheels take up less space.
Materials
- Aluminium
- Epoxy coated aluminium
- Aluminium with Hygroscopic surface
