Dedicated Exhaust Energy Recovery Unit
The dedicated exhaust energy recovery unit provides more energy recovery, and often at a lower cost than typical
solutions. It is well suited for LEED buildings and schools because of its ability to economically handle large
ventilation rates.
Side View
Advantages
Recover energy from Class I & II air streams
- Class I air is defined by Standard 62.1 as normal return air with no odors or health issues
- Class II air has some odor, but no health risks (ie: bathroom or cafeteria exhaust) The percentage of class 2
air that may be re-designated as class 1 is limited to no more than 10% by ASHRAE standard 62.
A single air handler for both exhaust air streams
A lower first cost than multiple smaller ERUs for each restroom
Damper and wall arrangement prevents Class II from recirculating to the building
Will work for VAV and CAV type systems
Bypass dampers can be added to the energy recovery wheel to save fan energy in economizer mode

Redundant Fans

Date: November 2012
Redundant fans provide 100% back-up for supply and return fans. This can be used to enhance reliability as well
as simplify scheduling of maintenance and service work.
Other features that are shown on this unit include:
1 . Bypass dampers on the energy recovery wheel to save fan energy when in economizer mode.
2 . Return air bypass damper to allow for up to 100% recirculated air in night mode.
Side View
Advantages
Complete flexibility in fan selection allows fans to be identical as well as the option to mix fans for different
operating conditions
Smaller footprint than two units or storing backup fans and parts nearby

Short Economizer with Exhaust Air Dampers in Return Fan Section

Date: November 2012
A shorter AHU can be selected by providing exhaust air dampers in the return fan section.
Figure 1: Unit Components and Dimensions
Side View
Plan View
Advantages
Shorter footprint and lower cost than traditional air side economizers
Flexible damper location for exhaust and OA dampers to accommodate installation requirements. (Either side,
top or end)
Installations in cold climates should use a blender and possibly look at splitting the outside air dampers to
encourage better mixing. Check on freeze protection offerings

Short Economizer with Exhaust Air Dampers in Return Fan Section
Side Return

Date: November 2012
A shorter AHU can be selected by providing exhaust air dampers in the return fan section.
Side return opening allows for unit to better match building limitations for the return air path
Exhaust air damper is located on the left hand end of the AHU
Damper locations can be customized to any side or size in order to accommodate installation requirements.
The designer should remember to pay attention to air mixing in climates with cold or hot & humid conditions
Side View
Plan View
Advantages
Shorter footprint and smaller unit size than a traditional air side economizers
The smaller size can provide a lower cost depending on the damper size requirements of the unit

Date: November 2012
Side Return Fan Opening Version II
Plan View
Advantages & Notes

L-shape fit best in mechanical room
Eliminated fan array needed to shorten unit

Side-by-side Energy Recovery Units

Date: November 2012
A side-by-side arrangement can simplify layout of energy recovery units

Side View
Plan View
Advantages
Exhaust and supply air streams do not have to evenly match dimensions. Wheel performance will change
Large units may not fit in an over/under arrangement
Flexible wheel selection and placement can help the designer to optimize performance

Date: November 2012
Dual Wheel Energy Recovery Unit
Side View
Advantages
A dual wheel AHU combines a total energy wheel with a sensible wheel that provides very good 100% outside
air performance.
The addition of the sensible wheel gives a higher effectiveness and reheats the supply air from saturated to a
more neutral relative humidity
These are often supplied on geothermal WSHP projects because they can significantly lower the outside air
loads and results in a smaller geothermal loop

Dual Duct AHU with Final Filters
Side View
Advantages & Notes

Replacement units for healthcare that now need final filters

Date: November 2012
Energy Wheel On Skyline Unit
Figure 1: Energy Wheel on Skyline
Side View
Advantages
Low profile unit with energy recovery
Rooftop application frees interior space for customer use
Only use the horizontally mounted wheel if very low height is required. A vertically mounted wheel is available
in a side-by-side that will be a lower cost and smaller footprint.

Date: November 2012
Dual Direct Drive Fans
Plan View
Advantages & Notes

Better redundancy, footprint, turndown, etc.
Possible on large and small units

Date: November 2012
Double Wheel AHU with UV Lights: 3 Fans, Two Exhaust Air Paths
Side View
The two separate exhaust air streams allow isolation of flows and optimization of separate fan systems.
The dual wheels provide a very efficient treatment of outside air that can lower first cost expenses for
compressor cooling, heating and possible geothermal loop costs.

Side-by-side Wheel (over 25 kCFM) and Mis-Matched Air Paths

Date: November 2012
Plan View
Advantages & Notes

Single supply air path is larger than Outside Air path
Dual plenum fans
Bypass dampers on wheel

Date: November 2012
Stacked ERV with Mismatched Heights
Side View
Advantages & Notes

Split level of stacked section does not have to match single height section
Reduces height and cost of total unit
Differences can be larger, but usually not huge

Date: November 2012
Dual Path Energy Recovery Unit
Side View
Advantages & Notes

Dual path provides an exhaust airflow only path and a second path for return or exhaust airflow.
It is possible to draw exhaust air from both exhaust air streams in this case if the negative static of the supply
fan is less than the exhaust at the recirculation damper.

Date: November 2012
Total Wheel + Plate with Two 22 Fan Arrays
Side View
Advantages & Notes

22 fan array provides redundancy and a smaller footprint
Plate and coil wrap-around provides treatment of outside airflow
Plate has zero cross leakage

Date: November 2012
Triple Stacked Unit
Side View
Advantages & Notes

Third level simplified duct tie-in for contractor

Humidifier & Evaporative Cooling Section
Advantages & Notes

Nortec model MH direct humidification for Data Centers
Evaporative cooling for the Western US
Simple section in Vision AHU
Stainless basin
Controller included

Date: November 2012

Split Outside Air Dampers
Advantages
Lower cost air measuring with smaller OA damper
LEED and Std 189 jobs may require all OA be measured

Date: November 2012

Bypass Damper on Cooling Coil

Date: November 2012
Advantages
Bypass damper can save the fan energy for the air pressure drop of the coil. Typically
.75"-1.00" of static can be reduced off of the fan for all economizer hours and heating
hours.
Can be provided as a single height unit or as a multiple height unit for larger units that
may have interference issues.

Side-Car Energy Recovery Wheel

Date: November 2012
Advantages
Provides a more square footprint where a long AHU might not work
Can match a smaller wheel with a a larger AHU to handle smaller percentages of OA
with a larger return air AHU
