Ultra-Compact Energy Recovery for Anywhere Space Is at a Premium

When SolutionAir launched the RegenCore alternating mass-exchanger energy-recovery unit in 2019, the unit rocked the industry, delivering up to 92% effectiveness and no preheat requirement down to outdoor temperatures of −40°C/F. Its energy-recovery cores and four-damper design maximized energy conservation and minimized leakage, but combining the components meant RegenCore needed to be either mounted on a roof or concrete pad outdoors or installed in large mechanical rooms indoors.

Low Temperature Air Distribution

Posted by Price Industries on August 13, 2019 at 8:59 AM

Low temperature overhead air distribution (also called cold air distribution) supplies cooling air to the occupied space with an entering air temperature typically between 40°F and 50°F [4.4 and 10°C]. This contrasts to the “typical or conventional” overhead air distribution cooling supply air temperature between 50°F and 59°F [10 and 15°C].
