Abstract
A method of operating an energy recovery system includes providing a flow of fresh air from an energy recovery ventilator through a supply port into a component of a heating and cooling system. Stale air is blown from the component through a return port into the energy recovery ventilator, the return port including a shield configured to at least partially prevent fresh air flowing from the supply port into the component from recirculating through the return port.
Claims3
A method of operating an energy recovery system comprising:
- flowing a flow of fresh air from an energy recovery ventilator through a supply port into a circulation air blower compartment of a heating and cooling system for use by the circulation air blower compartment;
- flowing stale air from the circulation air blower compartment through a return port into the energy recovery ventilator;
- providing a shield at the return port, the shield having a triangular cross-section in a plane parallel to a side wall of a housing of the energy recovery ventilator in which the report port is disposed;
- and
- preventing, via the shield, the flow of fresh air from recirculating through the return port.
