There is a new (January, 2011) restriction against using heat wheels to
recover heat from exhaust generated by chemical hoods. I don't have the
reference handy but will send it to you tomorrow.

I do not understand how these syst
ems
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 restr
icting
chemicals because of this system?
Any help or insight you could prov
ide
is greatly appreciated!
