    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an energy recovery wheel for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The energy recovery wheel includes a frame positioned within a passage of the HVAC system. The frame is configured to rotate about an axis of the passage relative to the HVAC system and includes an opening that is configured to transmit an air flow. The energy recovery wheel also includes a heat transfer element coupled to the frame and positioned within the opening, where the heat transfer element is permeable and configured to transition between a closed orientation to occlude the opening and direct the air flow across the heat transfer element and an open orientation to substantially unblock the opening and mitigate interaction between the air flow and the heat transfer element.
