Abstract

The world today is facing a lot of difficulties in energy management and energy saving technologies is the need of the hour. This paper reviews the various techniques for heat recovery from Air Conditioning systems. The types of heat recovery techniques under consideration are: Fixed Plate, Heat Pipe, Rotary Wheel and Run- Around. A comparison of the development of these technologies has been done. For performance rating the efficiency of technology is considered. Four heat recovery techniques for AC systems are compared: Fixed Plate (50-80% efficiency), Heat Pipe (45-55%), Rotary Wheel (>80%), and Run-Around (45-65%). Heat pipe offers advantages of no moving parts and no cross contamination.
