What is the heat bike?

Thermal wheel is a rotating device that is generally used to reduce energy consumed by air conditioning equipment in wet places. It works as a heat exchanger, which means that it is constantly trying to achieve thermal balance. The device works by having a stream of warm air and a stream of cold air flowing through its opposing halves and using these counter -boards to cool hot air and heating cold air.

The physical structure of the thermal wheel resembles an aluminum disk and an exhaust fan located in the middle of two air ducts. One air pipe passes through a warm outdoor air and the other pipes release the cold air cooled by the exhaust fan. The filters are also introduced to ensure that the air input and leaving the device is clean.

The heat wheel performs the thermal balance by first cooled by the cold air directed by the exhaust fan. When its cold part rotates,In order to meet the warm current of the outdoor air, it absorbs the warmth of the air. When the device absorbs heat from the air, the temperature of the outdoor air then decreases. When the wheel turns back to its initial point, it then sends the absorbed heat to cold smooth air and at the same time it is cooled again.

The concept of the thermal wheel works on the second law of thermodynamics, where heat always moves from areas of higher temperature to areas with lower temperature. The instruments allow mere rotation to enter the heat with cold air, thus transferring. This balances the temperature in two adjacent places, cooling hot air and warming cold air.

There are clear advantages. The device reduces the load on ventilation air conditioning, thus reducing energy consumption and subsequently long -term air conditioning costs. Another advantage is that itPaks reduces the size of the device needed to cool or heat the area. Also note that even a small heat wheel can be quite efficient when carrying a large amount of heat in accordance with the reduced size of the device.

However, there are also some disadvantages that need to be considered. The initial costs of the heat wheel mean that the initial costs are higher than it without a purchase device. Furthermore, the device requires that two adjacent air currents work and these air currents must be clean or otherwise pass through cleaning filters. Another factor is that the rotation mechanism needs to operate, which in turn requires maintenance.

The heat wheel is best used in places where large intake air intake is needed and near the exhaust air. One possible situation is a new building in which it was found that the air conditioning device is not sufficient for the amount of ventilated air. Another option is a structure where CJEM required to find out the amount of outdoor intake detectedair.

Thermal wheel is not recommended for areas with usually low to non -existent maintenance because it requires regular inspections and cleaning. It is also not suitable for places where air currents must be largely directed. The fan will consume more energy and the initial costs will be larger and thus cancel the amount of money that would be stored lower air conditioning energy.
