- Abstract
- When a building is equipped with a mechanical system which both exhausts and supplies outdoor air, it may be profitable to install a heat exchanger between the two circuits. The CSTB has perfected such an exchanger, which meets the two principal requirements of the problem: good efficiencies and elimination of the polluted air intake. A method of calculating the optimal dimensions of the exchanger was devised. (Author)
