Study of the optimization and development of a core for an energy recovery ventilator

To develop a core for an energy recovery ventilator through the study of the optimization of the properties required for said applications by comparative analysis of commercial membranes already being used in energy recovery ventilation (ERV) and a developed membrane. Special focus will be given to the experimental determination and later comparative analysis of the water vapour permeability and selectivity of said membranes under both free and forced convection. For these purposes, a machine specifically designed by the company and optimized for measuring water vapour permeability and selectivity under free and forced convection will be used. Besides the experimental characterization of the membranes, a study will be considered about the possible membrane suppliers and manufacturers, with the objective of proposing a final solution to the challenge of optimizing and developing a highly efficient core for ERV
