Abstract
A heat recovery ventilator having a rotary wheel heat exchanger includes a unique configuration for driving both the rotary wheel heat exchanger and impellers to provide an inexpensive, compact and light-weight ventilator unit adaptable for use across a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial applications. A random matrix media is also used to provide high thermal efficiency in exchanging heat and moisture between inlet and exhaust air streams.
