摘要:
A rotary heat regenerator wheel (50) in which one or more performance characteristics, such as heat exchange efficiency and air flow, can be adjusted during manufacturing, during or after installation and/or after use of the regenerator. The wheel (50) comprises removable segments (50a, 50b) having differing performance characteristics. One embodiment of the regenerator wheel (50) includes segments containing both latent (50a) and sensible (50b) heat characteristics.
摘要:
A system for and method of rotating a transfer wheel (12) providing heat and/or moisture exchange between two counter-flowing air streams. The system comprises: a frame (16), a transfer wheel (12) including a transfer matrix (10) mounted and rotationally secured relative to the frame so that the wheel can rotate through tthe two counter-flowing air streams and heat and/or moisture can be transferred between the two counter-flowing air streams; and a first plurality of motor components fixedly mounted relative to the wheel so that components of the first plurality function as a rotor (84, 86) of a motor, and a second plurality of motor components fixedly mounted relative to the frame so that components of the second plurality function as a stator (74, 76) of a motor, wherein power supplied to motor components of the second plurality causes the transfer wheel to rotate through the two counter-flowing air streams.

摘要:
The invention provides a rotary heat regenerator which includes a regenerator wheel (10) in which the regenerator matrix is formed of at least one strip (14) of synthetic organic plastic wound onto a central hub (12), with suitable spacing means being formed in the strip to form gas passages (18). The wheel (10) has reinforcing means provided by narrow portions extending radially in which the layers of the strip (14) have been adhered together. In addition to said a method is provided for providing reinforcement to the rotary heat recovery device formed of a spiral winding of at least one strip (14) of thermoplastic material, comprising applying to said strip (14) a heated member to form a radial fused oortion.
