Energy Balance
the rate of heat transfer between m& c m& s
the two fluid streams in the heat Tci Tso
exchanger, Q, is,
Q = ( mc
& p ) s (Tso − Tsi ) = (mc

Simple Configurations
Q = qx A
and
Q = UA (∆T)

Simple Configurations
for Tube & Shell
Q = UA (∆T)
Need to determine ∆T.
This is not straightforward
as for the parallel flow case.
∆Tout − ∆Tin
LMTD =

ln ⎜ out ⎟
⎝ ∆Tin ⎠

Parallel Flow
Q = UA ⋅ LMTD
∆Tout − ∆Tin
LMTD =
⎛ ∆T ⎞
ln ⎜ out ⎟
⎝ ∆Tin ⎠
Counter Flow
Q = UA ⋅ LMTD
∆Tout − ∆Tin
LMTD =
⎛ ∆T ⎞
ln ⎜ out ⎟
⎝ ∆Tin ⎠

Effectiveness
The heat exchanger effectiveness, ε, is defined as the ratio
of the rate of heat transfer in the exchanger, Q, to the
maximum theoretical rate of heat transfer, Qmax , i.e.,

NTU
The number of transfer units (NTU) is an indicator
of the actual heat-transfer area or physical size of
the heat exchanger. The larger the value of NTU,
the closer the unit is to its thermodynamic limit. It is
defined as,
UA
NTU =

Capacity Ratio
The capacity ratio, Cr, is representative of the operational
condition of a given heat exchanger and will vary
depending on the geometry and flow configuration (parallel
flow, counterflow, cross flow, etc.) of the exchanger. This
value is defined as the minimum heat capacity rate divided
by the maximum capacity rate, i.e.,
& p ) min
(mc
Cr =
& p ) max
(mc
It is important to note that the capacity ratio will be directly
proportional to the ratio of the mass flow rates if the specific
heats of the flows are fairly constant.

Enthalpy Wheel
The heart of the Energy Recovery Ventilator is
the desiccant coated energy recovery wheel,
which slowly rotates between its two sections.
In one section, the stale, conditioned air is
passed through the wheel, and exhausted in
the atmosphere. During this process, the
wheel absorbs sensible and latent energy
from the conditioned air, which is used to
condition (cool / heat) the incoming Fresh Air
in the other section, during the second half of
its rotation cycle.
