Definitions All terms in this document will follow the standard industry definitions in the ASHRAE Terminolo
11、gy website (https:/www.ashrae.org/resources-publications/free-resources/ashrae-terminology) unless otherwise defined in this section. 3.1 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment (AAERVE). Energy recovery components and packaged energy recovery ventilation units which employ Air-to-Air Excha
12、ngers to recover energy from exhaust air for the purpose of pre-conditioning outdoor air prior to supplying the conditioned air to the space, either directly or as part of an air-conditioning (to include air heating, air cooling, air circulating, air cleaning, humidifying and dehumidifying) system.
13、3.2 Air-to-Air Exchanger (hereinafter, “Exchanger”). A device that transfers heat from an exhaust airstream to a separated supply airstream. Air-to-Air Exchangers are also referred to as energy recovery components. 3.2.1 Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger. A device employing tubes charged with a fluid for the
14、 purpose of transferring sensible energy from one airstream to another. Heat transfer takes place through the vaporization of the fluid exposed to the warmer airstream and condensation of the fluid in the cooler airstream. 3.2.2 Plate Heat Exchanger. A device for the purpose of transferring energy (
15、sensible or total) from one airstream to another with no moving parts. The design may incorporate parallel, cross or counter flow construction or a combination of these to achieve the energy transfer. 3.2.3 Rotary Heat Exchanger. A device incorporating a rotating cylinder or wheel for the purpose of
16、 transferring energy (sensible or total) from one airstream to the other. It incorporates heat transfer material, a drive mechanism, a casing or frame, and includes any seals which are provided to retard the bypassing and leakage of air from one airstream to the other. 3.3 Airflow. 3.3.1 Entering Su
17、pply Airflow (OA). The supply airstream (outdoor air) before passing through the exchanger indicated in Figure 1 as Station 1. Sometimes referred to as the outdoor Airflow. 3.3.2 Leaving Supply Airflow (SA). The supply airstream (outdoor air) after passing through the exchanger, AHRI STANDARD 1061 (
18、SI)-2014 2 indicated in Figure 1 as Station 2. Sometimes referred to as the supply Airflow. 3.3.3 Entering Exhaust Airflow (RA). The exhaust airstream (indoor air) before passing through the exchanger, indicated in Figure 1 as Station 3. Sometimes referred to as the return Airflow. 3.3.4 Leaving Exh
19、aust Airflow (EA). The exhaust airstream (indoor air) after passing through the exchanger, indicated in Figure 1 as Station 4. Sometimes referred to as the exhaust Airflow. Figure 1. Scheme of Airflows for Exchangers 3.4 Capacity Rate. The quantity of energy an airstream at a specific mass flow rate
20、 is able to absorb or release per unit time per unit change in temperature, humidity content, or enthalpy content. 3.5 Effectiveness. A ratio of the actual energy transfer (sensible, latent, or total) to the product of the minimum energy capacity rate and the maximum difference in temperature, humid
21、ity ratio, or enthalpy. The equation for determining Effectiveness is Equation C1 in Appendix C. Effectiveness is not adjusted to account for that portion of the psychrometric change in the Leaving Supply Airflow that is the result of leakage of Entering Exhaust Airflow rather than exchange of heat
22、or moisture between the airstreams. 3.5.1 Sensible Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only measured dry bulb temperature differences, specific heat capacities and mass airflow rates. 3.5.2 Latent Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only meas
23、ured humidity ratios, heat of vaporization values and mass airflow rates. 3.5.3 Total Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only measured enthalpies and mass airflow rates. 3.5.4 Net Effectiveness. The Effectiveness adjusted to account for that portion of the psychrometric
24、 change in the Leaving Supply Airflow that is the result of leakage of Entering Exhaust Airflow rather than exchange of heat or moisture between the airstreams. The derivation of Net Effectiveness is given in Appendix C. 3.6 Exhaust Air Transfer Ratio (EATR). The tracer gas concentration difference
25、between the Leaving Supply Airflow and the Entering Supply Airflow divided by the tracer gas concentration difference between the Entering Exhaust Airflow and the Entering Supply Airflow at the 100% rated airflows, expressed as a percentage. The equation for determining EATR is Equation C2 in Append
26、ix C. 3.7 Net Supply Airflow. That portion of the Leaving Supply Airflow that originated as Entering Supply Airflow. The Net Supply Airflow is determined by subtracting air transferred from the exhaust side of the exchanger from the gross Airflow measured at the Supply Airflow leaving the exchanger
27、and is given by the equation: Net Supply Airflow = Leaving Supply Airflow (1 - EATR) 1 AHRI STANDARD 1061 (SI)-2014 3 3.8 Outdoor Air Correction Factor (OACF). The ratio of the Entering Supply Airflow to the measured (gross) Leaving Supply Airflow. 3.9 Pressure Differential. The difference in static
