| FURNACE
FAN DOES IT ALL
Building
codes require outside fresh air to be supplied into a dwelling
and for the sake of comfort, this air is to be tempered.
HOYME Motorless Air Exchanger (HAE) does this and more.
It also tempers cold air before it enters the area of the
furnace fan and therefore protects furnace parts. No need
for expensive electric heaters or special motors to service
or wear out. With the HAE, there are no moving parts, the
furnace fan does it all. Using the furnace fan also guarantees
the HAE remains operational at all times.
While
fresh, warm air is supplied through the Air Exchanger into
the heating system, moist stale air is exhausted through
a separate duct. The exchange of air, according to calculations,
is approximately 100 to 120 cu. ft/minute, depending on
the static pressure of the furnace fan. The area of heat
transfer in the unit is over 3000 sq.in. plus another 3000
sq.in. when using at least a total of 15 ft. of concentric
ducting connected to and from the unit. As a result, heat
transfer proves to be very high as shown in test reports.
e.q. Outside temperature of -30 C (-22F) enters the return
plenum at +14 C (+57 F). This incoming air is preheated
solely by the heat transfer of exhausting air and therefore
receiving warm fresh air at minimum cost.
The exhausting
of stale, moist air while the furnace is firing defrosts
any ice build-up in the unit with the extra heat being brought
back into the system. Excess moisture is drained off through
a plastic hose directed to a drain. Multiple 2" diameter
aluminum ducts inside the unit eliminate plugging and therefore
guarantee a continual flow of fresh inlet air and a continual
exhausting of moist stale air through all kinds of weather.
Exhaust fans from bathrooms, kitchens and other areas can
also be directed through the HAE unit by the addition of
an optional kit having a back-draft damper and a 'Y' connection.
