Enthalpy Differential Table & Formulas

Date HRU State Supply Enthalpy Intake Enthalpy
3/16/2006 HRU On      22.1      16.1
3/16/2006 HRU Off      22.9      16.0
  Differential        0.8  
2/28/2006 HRU On      20.9      17.0
2/28/2006 HRU Off      24.1      17.7
  Differential        3.2  

We can estimate efficiency as follows:

Efficiency = ( SupplyOn – IntakeOn ) / ( SupplyOff – IntakeOn )
= ( 22.1 – 16.1 ) / ( 22.9 – 16.1 ) = 88%      (for March 16)
= ( 20.9 - 17.0) / ( 24.1 - 17.0 )  = 55%      (for February 28)

Trial 2 Efficiency Estimate = 80% or more
