Subject: Heat Recovery Wheel help needed


Do any of your buildings have a heat recovery wheel in the HVAC/Fume hood 
system? Our newest building has a heat recovery wheel installed for LEED 
certification but new researchers are questioning the safety of this 
system (energy research).

I do not understand how these systems work. The architect has forwarded 
some white papers, but these are vague, at best, on chemical safety data & 
testing.

If you have a heat recovery wheel in a chemistry building - 

How did you determine it was safe to use?
Do you have chemical restrictions?
What criteria do you use for restricting chemicals because of this system?

Any help or insight you could provide is greatly appreciated!
