Abstract

A rotary total heat exchange apparatus (30) includes at least an air-providing member (3301), a first air passage and a second air passage, and a total heat exchange wheel (3311). The air-providing member provides a first airflow from outdoors and a second airflow from indoors into the rotary total heat exchange apparatus. The first and second air passages isolate from each other for guiding the first and second airflows respectively passing through the heat exchange wheel. The total heat exchange wheel faces to the first and second airflows provided by the air-providing member, and is capable of rotating through the first and second air passages for conducting a total heat exchange between the first and second airflows.
