Section 1. Purpose

1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to establish for Air-to-Air Exchangers intended for use in Air-to-Air
Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment: definitions; test requirements; rating requirements; minimum data requirements for
Published Ratings; marking and nameplate data; and conformance conditions.

1.1.1 Intent. This standard is intended for the guidance of the industry, including manufacturers, designers,
installers, contractors and users.

1.1.2 Review and Amendment. This standard is subject to review and amendment as technology advances.

Section 2. Scope

2.2 Exclusions. This standard does not apply to the rating and testing of heat exchangers joined by circulated heat
transfer medium (run-around loop). A run-around loop employs liquid-containing coils connected in a closed loop and
placed in each of two or more airstreams.

Section 3. Definitions

All terms in this document will follow the standard industry definitions in the ASHRAE Terminology website
(https://www.ashrae.org/resources--publications/free-resources/ashrae-terminology) unless otherwise defined in this section.

3.1 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment (AAERVE). Energy recovery components and packaged energy
recovery ventilation units which employ Air-to-Air Exchangers to recover energy from exhaust air for the purpose of pre-
conditioning outdoor air prior to supplying the conditioned air to the space, either directly or as part of an air-conditioning (to
include air heating, air cooling, air circulating, air cleaning, humidifying and dehumidifying) system.

3.2 Air-to-Air Exchanger (hereinafter, “Exchanger”). A device that transfers heat/energy from an exhaust airstream to
a separated supply airstream. Air-to-Air Exchangers are also referred to as energy recovery components.

3.2.1 Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger. A device employing tubes charged with a fluid for the purpose of transferring
sensible energy from one airstream to another. Heat transfer takes place through the vaporization of the fluid
exposed to the warmer airstream and condensation of the fluid in the cooler airstream.

3.2.2 Plate Heat Exchanger. A device for the purpose of transferring energy (sensible or total) from one airstream
to another with no moving parts. The design may incorporate parallel, cross or counter flow construction or a
combination of these to achieve the energy transfer.

3.2.3 Rotary Heat Exchanger. A device incorporating a rotating cylinder or wheel for the purpose of transferring
energy (sensible or total) from one airstream to the other. It incorporates heat transfer material, a drive mechanism,
a casing or frame, and includes any seals which are provided to retard the bypassing and leakage of air from one
airstream to the other.

3.3 Airflow.

3.3.1 Entering Supply Airflow (OA). The supply airstream (outdoor air) before passing through the exchanger,
indicated in Figure 1 as Station 1. Sometimes referred to as the outdoor Airflow.

3.3.2 Leaving Supply Airflow (SA). The supply airstream (outdoor air) after passing through the exchanger,

1
ANSI/AHRI STANDARD 1060 (I-P)–2014__________________________________________________________

indicated in Figure 1 as Station 2. Sometimes referred to as the supply Airflow.

3.3.3 Entering Exhaust Airflow (RA). The exhaust airstream (indoor air) before passing through the exchanger,
indicated in Figure 1 as Station 3. Sometimes referred to as the return Airflow.

3.3.4 Leaving Exhaust Airflow (EA). The exhaust airstream (indoor air) after passing through the exchanger,
indicated in Figure 1 as Station 4. Sometimes referred to as the exhaust Airflow.

Figure 1. Scheme of Airflows for Exchangers

3.4 Capacity Rate. The quantity of energy an airstream at a specific mass flow rate is able to absorb or release per unit
time per unit change in temperature, humidity content, or enthalpy content.

3.5 Effectiveness. A ratio of the actual energy transfer (sensible, latent, or total) to the product of the minimum energy
capacity rate and the maximum difference in temperature, humidity ratio, or enthalpy. The equation for determining
Effectiveness is Equation C1 in Appendix C.

Effectiveness is not adjusted to account for that portion of the psychrometric change in the Leaving Supply Airflow that is the
result of leakage of Entering Exhaust Airflow rather than exchange of heat or moisture between the airstreams.

3.5.1 Sensible Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only measured dry bulb
temperature differences, specific heat capacities and mass airflow rates.

3.5.2 Latent Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only measured humidity ratios,
heat of vaporization values, and mass airflow rates.

3.5.3 Total Effectiveness. The Effectiveness determined in Section 3.5 using only measured enthalpies and mass
airflow rates.

3.5.4 Net Effectiveness. The Effectiveness adjusted to account for that portion of the psychrometric change in the
Leaving Supply Airflow that is the result of leakage of Entering Exhaust Airflow rather than exchange of heat or
moisture between the airstreams. The derivation of Net Effectiveness is given in Appendix C.

3.6 Exhaust Air Transfer Ratio (EATR). The tracer gas concentration difference between the Leaving Supply Airflow
and the Entering Supply Airflow divided by the tracer gas concentration difference between the Entering Exhaust Airflow
and the Entering Supply Airflow at the 100% rated Airflows, expressed as a percentage. The equation for determining EATR
is Equation C2 in Appendix C.

3.7 Net Supply Airflow. That portion of the Leaving Supply Airflow that originated as Entering Supply Airflow. The
Net Supply Airflow is determined by subtracting air transferred from the exhaust side of the exchanger from the gross
Airflow measured at the Supply Airflow leaving the exchanger and is given by the equation:

2
 ANSI/AHRI STANDARD 1060 (I-P)-2014

Net Supply Airflow = Leaving Supply Airflow · (1 - EATR) 1

3.8 Outdoor Air Correction Factor (OACF). The ratio of the Entering Supply Airflow to the measured (gross) Leaving
Supply Airflow.

3.9 Pressure Differential. The difference in static pressure between the Leaving Supply Airflow and the Entering
Exhaust Airflow.

3.10 Pressure Drop. The difference in static pressure between the Entering Supply Airflow and the Leaving Supply
Airflow.

3.11 Published Rating. A statement of the assigned values of those performance characteristics, under stated Rating
Conditions, by which a unit may be chosen for its application. These values apply to all exchangers for use in Energy
Recovery Ventilation Equipment of like size and type (identification) produced by the same manufacturer. The term
Published Rating includes the rating of all performance characteristics shown on the unit or published in specifications,
advertising or other literature controlled by the manufacturer, at stated Rating Conditions.

3.11.1 Application Rating. A rating based on tests performed at application Rating Conditions (other than Standard
Rating Conditions).

3.11.2 Standard Rating. A rating based on tests performed at Standard Rating Conditions.

cause only that level of performance to occur.

3.12.1 Standard Rating Conditions. Rating Conditions used as the basis of comparison for performance
characteristics.

3.13 "Shall” or "Should.” “Shall” or “should” shall be interpreted as follows:

3.13.1 Shall. Where “shall” or “shall not” is used for a provision specified, that provision is mandatory if
compliance with the standard is claimed.

3.13.2 Should. “Should” is used to indicate provisions which are not mandatory but which are desirable as good
practice.

3.14 Standard Air. Air weighing 0.075 lb/ft3 which approximates dry air at 70°F and at a barometric pressure of 29.92 in
Hg.

3.15 Station. For each of the Airflows defined in Section 3.3 and shown in Figure 1, the station is the location in the test
apparatus at which conditions such as temperature, humidity, pressure, or Airflow are measured. These locations are
identified as “Station 1”, “Station 2”, “Station 3” and “Station 4”.

Where:

ṁs = Mass flow rate of dry air for Leaving Supply Airflow, lbm/min

C3.1 Derivation of Net Effectiveness. The formula for Effectiveness is given in Equation C1. The formula for Net
Effectiveness is the same except that Xnet is substituted for X2 where Xnet is derived from the mixed air condition at
Station 2 and the EATR is given in Equation C6.

X2 = (1 - EATR) Xnet + (EATR) X3 C6

Solving for Xnet yields:

X 2  EATR  X3
X net  C7
