UNITS FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
Rotary Heat Recovery System (Thermal Wheel) [RHR]:
Heat Wheels are revolving cylinders consisting of an airpermeable matrix with large interior surface. The matrix is
cooled as cold air is passed through the wheel. This in turn
cools the fresh air stream when the cooled rotating matrix
comes in line with the supply air stream. When sprayed with
a hygroscopic coating, the heat wheel will transfer moisture
from the fresh air stream to the exhaust stream.
Heat Wheel offers are capable of recovering both sensible
and latent heats and offer efficiencies as high as 85%. Heat
wheels are ideal for applications that demand high percentage
of fresh air intake like in hospitals, research labs, schools and
pharmaceutical companies.
MAH Units for Outdoor Installation
For outdoor installations SKM provides various options to protect
the unit from varying climates. These include :
Weather proof top cover [ATC] to protect against rain. It is
made with slight pitch down from the centerline to ends on
both sides to avoid rain accumulation on the top cover of the
unit.
Air Intake Louver [AIL] to prevent foreign material to enter
the unit in fresh air intake.
Sand trap louver [ASL] to extract coarse sand prior to the
entry in the unit.
Rain hood [ARH] to prevent rain entering the fresh air intake.
Bird screen [ABS] to prevent foreign material to enter the
unit in fresh air intake.
Accessories and Options
In order to meet most application requirements, MAH units can
be supplied with various accessories and options, such as:
Heat Pipe System [RPR] : Heat pipe is a simple heat transfer
devices consisting of two coils, pre-cooling and re-heating,
connected together without any moving part in between them
and containing phase change fluid. It is automatically activated
by the difference in temperature performing a double function.
First, pre-cooling the return air allows the cooling coil to work
cooler and condense more moisture. Second, re-heating
the supply air brings about a more comfortable temperature
and relative humidity. This entire function of humidity reduction
is performed while saving energy.
