A Comprehensive Review on Contaminant Transfer in Membrane Energy Recovery Ventilators
Membrane-based energy recovery ventilators (M-ERV) are becoming increasingly popular due to their significance in reducing the energy demand of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. They reduce the energy consumption by energy exchange between the building exhaust and supply airstreams through an intermediate membrane. Various contaminants from the exhaust air may be recirculated to the supply air via the membrane of M-ERV. This can adversely affect the building’s indoor air quality. Compared to the energy performance, studies focusing on contaminant transfer (CT) in M-ERV are minimal. Membrane and contaminant properties and their interactions could significantly influence the CT in M-ERV. This study explains the effect of these properties and their interactions in detail. It could guide the selection of appropriate membranes to minimise the transfer of specific contaminants in indoor settings. It also provides guidelines for conducting future experimental studies on CT in M-ERV.
