4. Problem Description Enthalpy wheel not always needed:
Most effective for large temperature differences
Wheel causes pressure drop and consumes energy
Accurate flow rates measurement needed:
Cost effective means of measuring airstreams is needed
Integrated into control system to control air flow

5. Objectives Bypass the enthalpy wheel: Flow measuring device:
Determine increased flow rate due to decrease in pressure drop
Determine annual energy savings due to reduced fan speed
Flow measuring device:
Develop cost effective means of measuring airstreams
Requires an accuracy of 8%
Ensure compliance with existing control system
