Adsolair two stage heat recovery and indirect adiabatic cooling

A dog cools itself through evaporation of water from its tongue. The cooling system of man's best friend illustrates clearly the physical principle takes place in the MENERGA^® Adsolair^® air conditioning unit and how it is used to indirectly cool the incoming fresh air to a building.

The MENERGA^® Type 56 Adsolair^® solVent^® air conditioning unit has been developed for heat and cooling recovery in ventilation applications with the addition of environmentally friendly summer cooling by evaporation of water. In summer the evaporative cooling provides gentle air conditioning of the building.

Water is sprayed into the exhaust air stream over the two stage recuperator. The water evaporates, taking its latent heat from the exhaust air. The cooling effect is transferred to the incoming hot outside air through the recuperator.
Winter heat recovery efficiency in excess of 75% allows introduction of outside air at low outdoor temperatures without energy penalty.

• Up to 10°C cooling effect without the use of refrigerants or additional power
• No increase in supply air humidity
• Minimal water consumption
• Environmentally friendly
• Simple to use, fully automatic (DDC) control of temperature and air volumes
• Ideal partner technology for displacement ventilation or active thermal storage
• Low energy solVent^® direct coupled fans drastically reduce electricity consumption compared with traditional belt driven fans
• Low maintenance

Where there is a requirement for greater cooling or humidity control, additional mechanical cooling can be built into to the unit (Adsolair^® Type 57/58):

• Condenser in exhaust air stream
• No external refrigeration pipe work required
• No space required for chiller plant or condensing units
• Cooling efficiency 3 to 4 times greater than traditional chiller or DX cooling systems
