Long-term performance of the enthalpy exchange element is a topic of current interest due to the concern of possible performance degradation over time. In this study, a 350 CMH enthalpy recovery ventilator equipped with an enthalpy exchange element was installed in an office room, and the performance has been traced over the past 5 years. The appearance, overall dimension, thermal performance, leakage ratio and anti-bacterial performance were checked annually. Results showed that the change in thermal performance (sensible, latent and enthalpy efficiency) was negligible with periodic cleaning with an air gun. However, the leakage ratio increased with time, measuring 7.3% after 5 years. Anti-bacterial test revealed that no bacteria were found during the test period. The largest change in the dimension occurred at the middle location of the element, although the change was less than 2% of the initial value.

In order to better save energy, many buildings have been constructed with high levels of insulation and airtightness in recent years. Additionally, having high quality indoor air has become more relevant, necessitating a ventilating system. This study is aimed at evaluating the performance of a humidity exchanger through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of elements for the purpose of providing comfortable indoor air and reduced energy consumption. The simulation was conducted with three different shapes (triangle, rectangular, and curve) of heat exchanger elements, in order to find the most effective element. A follow-up simulation then proved the efficiency of the chosen humidity exchanger, which was selected by analyzing the results of the preceding simulation, comparing study data with measurement data from the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL). The resulting analysis revealed that the rectangular element showed the lowest level of efficiency in both heating and cooling, while the curved element showed the highest level of efficiency in both heating and cooling.

Improvement of the enthalpy exchange element's energy efficiency is of current interest from anenergy-saving viewpoint. In this study, a LiCl-impregnated spacer was devised as a means to improve the performance of the enthalpy exchange element. Two samples were tested : one with and one without impregnated spacers of $338{\times}338{\times}380mm$ sizes with 2.0 mm channel spacing. The results showed that the temperature efficiencies of the two samples were approximately the same. The humidity efficiency, however, was strongly affected by the LiCl impregnation. The impregnated sample yielded a 9% higher humidity efficiency under cooling and the difference increased to 14% under aheating condition. It was anticipated that more moisture would beadsorbed on the LiCl-impregnated spacers, which was delivered to their roots and eventually to the air in neighboring channels. Separate moisture adsorption tests revealed that both the adsorption rate and the amount of the adsorbed moisture are higher for the LiCl-impregnated specimen.

함체 내의 발열은 이동통신기기의 회선 처리 능력이 증가함에 따라 계속 증가하고 있다. 이 열을 적절히 외부로 방출해 주지 않으면 중계기 내의 온도가 상승하여 전자장치 오작동의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 통신 함체 냉각 모듈용 알루미늄 및 플라스틱 소자의 성능에 대해 실험을 수행하고 이론 해석 결과와도 비교하였다. 알루미늄 소자는 핏치 4.5 mm의 대향류 평행 채널로 구성되고 플라스틱 소자는 핏치 2.0 mm의 직교류 및 직교 대향류 삼각 채널로 구성되었다. 한편 직교류 소자의 크기는 알루미늄 소자와 동일하고 직교대향류 소자는 알루미늄 소자보다 33% 크다. 실험 결과 플라스틱 직교 대향류 소자의 전열량이 가장 크고 알루미늄 대향류 소자의 전열량이 가장 작게 나타났다. 또한 알루미늄 대향류 소자를 base 소자로 할 때 플라스틱 직교대향류 소자의 온도교환효율은 base 소자보다 평균 56% 크고 플라스틱 직교류 소자의 값보다는 평균 29% 크게 나타났다. 한편 플라스틱 직교대향류 소자와 base 소자의 압력손실은 유사하게 나타났다. 열교환 효율은 플라스틱 직교대향류 소자에서 가장 크고 플라스틱 직교류 소자에서 가장 작게 나타났다. 또한 이론 모델은 소자의 성능을 다소 과대 또는 과소 예측하였다.

The importance of ventilation system is being emphasized by interest of indoor air quality. Especially, heat recovery ventilation system has attracted attention as most effective ventilation plan. Because it can reduce hazardous construction materials, indoor air pollutions, and also can reduce air conditioning energy cost. In heat recovery ventilator, the element core is the most important part. The element core is composed of liner and spacer. And liner and spacer are stacked alternately. On the Liner, heat and humidity transfer are made between supply and exhaust air. And spacer plays a role as a tunnel of exhaust and supply. In this study, we investigated and analyzed the efficiency of a heat recovery ventilator, when the spacer's properties are changed. As a result, difference spacer's properties affect an efficiency of heat recovery ventilator.

To increase the enthalpy exchange efficiency of ERV elements, the moisture exchange character must be improved. The moisture exchange efficiency depends on material characteristics. The material used for ERV is Hwang-to paper based on Han-ji which is Korean traditional paper. The paper has excellent performance in moisture exchange and heat transfer compared with polymer and other papers. To have an anti bacteria performance and to improve moisture exchange performance of Han-ji, Hwang-to is added to the Han-ji. The enthalpy exchange efficiency of the Hwang-to paper shows 5% greater than that of the conventional paper. In case of Escherichia Coli, the reduction rate of bacteria is 96.6% and in case of Pseudomonas, the reduction rate of bacteria is 97.5%. The ERV element made of Hwang-to paper has a great possibility as an ERV element.
