Heat pipe heat exchangers for solar homes
Well sealed energy conserving homes require a certain ventilation rate to replenish oxygen and remove moisture and odors. The exhausting of internal air to the outside environment results in a loss of energy. Heat pipe heat recovery can recapture a portion of this lost heat. Various types of heat pipe wick designs are presented. Experiments were performed on two small heat pipe heat exchangers recovering heat from exhaust air flows of 24 liters per minute. Heat recovery effectiveness ranged from 0.27 to 0.6 depending on heat exchanger design. Employing an optimally designed heat pipe heat recovery unit may result in significant energy savings in a well sealed home. (Kursetz)
