- Definition(s)
- Thermal wheel is a heat transfer device with a rotating wheel, which allows the sensible heat transfer between the fresh air intake and exhaust air in an AC system. The air duct connections are arranged so that each of the airstreams flow axially through approximately one half of the wheel in a counter-flow pattern. The porous media that is heated from the warm duct airstream, rotates into the cold duct airstream where sensible heat is released. Energy Efficient Technologies
- Example sentence(s)
- The amount of heating energy required to meet room conditions after the energy recovery device is reduced dramatically and, in some cases, can be removed altogether, particularly when a thermal wheel is the energy recovery device. - Building Services&Environmental Engineer
by - Thermal wheels can recover about 85% of heat from ventilation air, transferring it to incoming fresh air, which then needs minimal additional heating to reach the required temperature for the building. - heatingandventilating.net
by - Stringent building regulations and tighter standards in building services provision has led to the sudden popularity of thermal wheel technology. A standard air handling unit can be turned into a highly efficient unit using thermal wheels, ultimately saving energy and reducing carbon emissions. - Air Options Limited

- La roue thermique
Le coeur de la roue thermique est une structure cylindrique rotative. Elle est constituée de petites alvéoles sinusoidales, disposées autour d'un axe, et faite de fins rubans métalliques. Le flux d'air entrant pénètre la partie supérieure de la roue thermique ScheuruthermR , tandis que le flux d'air sortant, emprunte la partie inférieure.
La chaleur est ainsi transférée du flux d'air chaud à la roue et stockée. A cause de la rotation de la roue, cette chaleur est ensuite retransférée au flux d'air froid. Selon les particularités des flux d'air et de la conception de la surface de la structure, un transfert d'humidité est également réalisable.
La structure rotative est montée à l'intérieur d'un carter équipé de plateaux de séparation, ce qui permet de ne pas mélanger les flux d'air entrant et sortant. L'utilisation des roues thermiques ScheuruthermR est le meilleur moyen d'économiser de l'énergie et de réduire l'émission de CO2.
