water preheat on air exchange.



We had a brief but intense brainstorm on air exchangers this morning. Paul would like to try a system which would use water to preheat the incoming air. The system could also be used to cool the air in the summer. We are currently looking at two different systems: the first would use small radiators to isolate the water from the air, and the second system would allow water to contact the incoming airstream. More calculations and design work needs to be completed before we can begin to prototype either design.
