"Study on recent progress and advances in air-to-air membrane enthalpy " by A. K. Albdoor, Z. Ma et al.
Air-to-air membrane enthalpy exchangers (MEEs) are being considered as key components in the new generation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. MEEs are an environmentally friendly solution to reduce building energy consumption by preconditioning the incoming air using the exhaust air. Semi-permeable membranes are used in MEEs to separate the air streams and recover both sensible and latent heat from one air stream to the other. This review addresses membrane characteristics, performance improvement techniques, design optimisation efforts and the effects of the operati...
