Recently, regulation of ventilator installation and its details has been revised and the establishment of heat recovery ventilator in newly built apartments has been obligated. This study was done to offer the method of operation and design of heat recovery ventilator to save energy by measuring its efficiency and comparing with the results of experiment. This paper confirmed that it is desirable to operate heat recovery ventilator by using "by-pass mode" within $60{\sim}80%$ scope of the difference indoor absolute humidity in spring and autumn and outdoor absolute humidity and heat recovery ventilator of energy saving effect is better than constant air volume system.

In the present study, the heat transfer performance on the heat recovery ventilator with rotary disk were experimentally investigated. The temperature of entrance and exit of the heat recovery ventilator, air flow distribution of high temperature air and low temperature air, heat flux and the overall heat transfer coefficients are estimated from the experimental results. As the number of revolution of rotary disk, the air flow distribution increase, heat flux and overall heat transfer coefficients increase.

The importance of ventilation system is being emphasized by interest of indoor air quality. Especially, heat recovery ventilation system has attracted attention as most effective ventilation plan. Because it can reduce hazardous construction materials, indoor air pollutions, and also can reduce air conditioning energy cost. In heat recovery ventilator, the element core is the most important part. The element core is composed of liner and spacer. And liner and spacer are stacked alternately. On the Liner, heat and humidity transfer are made between supply and exhaust air. And spacer plays a role as a tunnel of exhaust and supply. In this study, we investigated and analyzed the efficiency of a heat recovery ventilator, when the spacer's properties are changed. As a result, difference spacer's properties affect an efficiency of heat recovery ventilator.

In this paper, we performed numerical analysis to improve the heat exchange efficiency of wasted heat recovery ventilator which has a delivery and a exhaustion fan. One of the most important design factors that affect the efficiency of heat exchange is uniform counter-flow between inbound and outbound air flows. We had simulated several types of porous plates which were installed at air intake area. With plate having 45 degrees of installation angle and 15 mm diameter holes which are uniformly arranged, we can generate a uniform air flows at the area of porous media where inbound and outbound air flows are cross over. In addition, we installed a duct to reduce vortex flows at the outlet and to discharge exhaust airs rapidly. By using the proposed numerical assessment, we expect the improvement of the heat exchange efficiency of ventilator.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the acoustic problems of the conventional heat recovery ventilator and to suggest the methods of noise reduction from a heat recovery ventilator according to the installed location. The noise level, in this study, was measured and discussed as the parameters of size, wind volume and sound absorbing duct length for a heat recovery ventilator based on domestic and international related standards. It is found, as a result, that almost all of noise levels from the small and medium heat recovery ventilators without the sound absorbing duct in the anechoic chamber were higher than the noise standard value of 50 dB(A) regardless of the wind volume, and the noise levels went down when a sound absorbing duct was installed. In addition, the sound pressure level relative to frequency bands according to the length of sound absorbing duct was generally decreased, as the length of sound absorbing duct in the small and medium heat recovery ventilators was big, and the sound pressure level was generally increased, as the wind volume was great.

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effect of outdoor weather conditions on the performance of a heat recovery ventilator. Experiments have been performed by varying outdoor temperature/humidity conditions with the indoor conditions fixed at the standard conditions by KARSE. Results indicate humidity efficiency shows larger uncertainties than temperature efficiency in general. With the heat generation by an internal fan removed, the modified temperature efficiency remains almost constant regardless of the indoor-outdoor temperature difference. The enthalpy efficiency can have very large or negative values in case the outdoor conditions are in the vicinity of the indoor enthalpy line. The direction of heat flow, in such a case, can be opposite to that of moisture flow between two air streams. Discussions are included about various interesting features of the psychrometric processes taking place in a heat recovery ventilator.

Generally the window of the building is an objective of mining and having a distant view and also for a circulation it will can open and shut because becomes the structure insulation, the meat detailed drawing it does a very difficult portion, it is. And, recently the use of heat recovery ventilator has increased rapidly for improvement of air Quality and energy saving in building. But, the high efficient heat exchange will be more increasable than water vapors which were only occurred residential active. Purpose of this study is measurement of thermal performance about heat-recovery system integrated window. The result of the window thermal resistance is 1.80 $W/m^2K$ by KS F 2278. Air tightness is 5.96 m3/m2h at 4 Pa by KS F 2292.

Installing a ventilator for an apartment house composed of over 100 dwelling units was mandated in 2006 to improve indoor air quality. In the case of mechanical ventilators, the air change rate is kept stable, however 68% of dwellers do not operate their ventilator because of an increased electrical bill and noise. In the case of natural ventilators, the former problems are settled, but there are concerns about cold draught and an increase of heating/cooling cost. Authors are developing a heat recovery type natural ventilator which is a natural ventilator equipped with total heat recovery element, and it is expected that those problems of mechanical ventilator and natural ventilator are resolved by this. The combined type diffuser of this study is an under developed fit to the heat recovery type natural ventilator above. There are no standards to evaluate the performance for this type of diffuser. Due to this issue this study investigated the performance of the ventilation and maintained a thermal environment for the combined type diffuser by comparing it with existing diffusers. The results revealed that the performances of the combined type of diffusers showed different features from the existing ones, and was estimated to be high enough in the performances above.

This study is intended to analyze the thermal performance and evaluate the applicability about non-duct type heat recovery ventilation system integrated with window. Eventually, economic analysis of the system is conducted according to building energy saving ratio of it. As results of the thermal performance, the U-factor of the window conducted on the basis of KS F 2278 appears to $1.8W/m^2K$, and the effective heat exchange efficiency of the ventilator conducted on the basis of KS B 6879 appears 49.95% for cooling, 66.89% for heating. In the applicability evaluated by TRNSYS 16, the caes of applying the heat recovery ventilator integrated with window is found to reduce the cooling or heating load by 2.9% or 13.5% than the non-ventilator case. The results of economic analysis taking a side of consumer is verified as the payback is 3 years, and the accumulated earning is 1,408,133 won in terms of '600,000 won/unit' for initial cost, 10 years for useful life of the system.

For keeping the indoor air quality, we develop the pulsating heat pipe(PHP) type heat recovery ventilator using an used radiator for vehicles. We compare the PHP type with existing model. There are some merits that are able to change the unit number according to heat load and show us the similar performance to existing models.
