Twin Wheel system reheat side 79% efficiency is more than enough!
Twin Wheel system cooling side Entering condition for cooling coil
Twin Wheel System cooling coil Cooling coils are expensive to run. The Twin Wheel system has great potential to keep down requirement effects and thereby save cooling costs!
Two rotors – Increased pressure drop? Grid power: 4.1 kW Pressure drop: 560 Pa Grid power: 4.6 kW Pressure drop 621 Pa
Twin Wheel optimal performance the year round! • Not only is the Twin Wheel system saving your cooling costs, it’ll save costs for heating during winter time as well! • Thank’s to the dual rotors, the need for additional heating can be taken out of the equation! • Even using the widest foil spacing we get more than enough reheat!
Twin Wheel and Chilled Beams • Energy efficient solution! • Ensuring quality of the indoor climate • No unwanted temperature rises • No more rain!
Twin Wheel – A summary • The twin wheel system can make substantial energy savings. 50% of cooling and 100% of reheat. Modern and energy efficient solution. • To be of interest there must be a cooling and / or de-humidification need. • The system offers excellent heat recovery during winter. Again saving costs for reheating. • Chilled beam systems are a typical application. Twin Wheel will improve performance!
