Abstract
The self-defrosting heat exchangers and their application technique are the subject of the current invention. The heat exchanger includes a rotor placed in a housing. The rotor is made up of ring elements with gaps that are sealed to form channels that separate the supply and exhaust air. The body consists of an outer and an inner cylinder. The outer cylinder encloses the rotor and contains at least one opening for introducing exhaust air and at least one opening for exhausting supply air.
Claims16
A heat exchanger includes a rotor placed in a housing, where the rotor is made of ring elements, the gaps between which are sealed in such a way that channels are formed separating the supply and exhaust air,
- the body consists of outer and inner cylinders,
- with the outer cylinder enclosing the rotor and having at least one opening in the lower part for introducing exhaust air into the rotor and at least one opening in the upper part for discharging exhaust air from the rotor,
- and the inner cylinder is inserted into the rotor and contains in the upper part at least one opening for introducing supply air into the rotor and in the lower part at least one opening for discharging supply air from the rotor,
- at the same time, a partition is built into the inner cylinder, separating the input and output of supply air,
- wherein the supply air input and exhaust air outlet are located on one side relative to the rotor rotation axis, and the supply air outlet and exhaust air input are located on the other side relative to the rotor rotation axis.
A method of using a heat exchanger containing a rotating rotor, according to which:
- exhaust air is introduced into the rotor through the exhaust air inlet opening in the heat exchanger;
- supply air is introduced into the rotor through the supply air inlet opening in the heat exchanger;
- exhaust air is passed through the rotor through exhaust air channels;
- supply air is passed through the rotor through supply air channels;
- exhaust air is discharged from the rotor through the discharge exhaust air opening of the heat exchanger;
- supply air is discharged from the rotor through the discharge supply air opening of the heat exchanger;
- at that, the input of supply air and the output of exhaust air are carried out on one side relative to the rotor's axis of rotation, while the output of supply air and the input of exhaust air are carried out on the opposite side of the rotor's axis of rotation.
