scope:

This guideline applies only to AAERVE.

Applications. This guideline is intended to apply primarily to commercial and institutional applications.

Exclusions. This guideline does not apply to heat exchangers joined by circulated heat transfer medium (run-around loop). A run-around loop employs liquid-containing coils connected in a closed loop and placed in each of two or more airstreams.

Purpose. The purpose of this guideline is to provide information to support the application of Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment (AAERVE). This guideline supports AAERVE that is manufactured using Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers (energy recovery components) rated in accordance with AHRI Standard 1060 (I-P). These energy recovery components include Heat Pipe Heat Exchangers, Plate Heat Exchangers, and Rotary Heat Exchangers.

Intent. This guideline is intended for the guidance of the industry, including architects, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, and end users.

Review and Amendment. This guideline is subject to review and amendment as the technology advances.
