June Virtual Lunch Meeting -Applying Heat Pipes for HVAC Dehumidification & Energy Recovery solutions

TOPIC: Applying Heat Pipes for HVAC Dehumidification & Energy Recovery Solutions

    By: Darrell Sandlin

(Meeting will be held online, virtually)

(Link will be sent on the day of the presentation)

Learning Objectives:    

Focus on practical applications of Heat Pipe Science in the HVAC industry.  The Heat Pipe provides the ability to passively transfer BTU energy from a higher temperature location to a lower temperature location.  The technology provides the design Engineer an energy efficient tool to improve the dehumidification performance of the air handler.  The heat pipe also provides a safe means of air to air energy recovery between harsh or otherwise questionable air streams.
