AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the rod usually takes up a considerable amount of space within the air channel
Furthermore, it has been found that laminar air flow through the air channels produces relatively low heat and moisture transfer rates between the air channels and the membrane

Embodiment Construction

[0042] The foregoing summary, followed by the following detailed description of specific embodiments, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Herein, elements or steps recited in the singular and described with a singular article should be understood as not excluding plural of said elements or steps, unless such exclusion is explicitly stated. Furthermore, references to "one embodiment" are not intended to be interpreted as excluding the existence of additional embodiments that also incorporate the recited features. Also, an embodiment that "comprises" or "has" an element or elements with a particular characteristic may include additional such elements that do not have that characteristic, unless explicitly stated to the contrary.

[0043] It has been found that by using transfer in fluid channels (such as air channels) of energy exchange systems (such as LAMEE) or various other fluid-fluid energy exchangers (such as air-air energy ex...

Abstract

A membrane support assembly is configured to be used with an energy exchanger, and is configured to be positioned within a fluid channel between first and second membranes. The assembly may include at least one support member configured to span between the first and second membranes, wherein the support member(s) is configured to support the fluid channel, and at least one turbulence promoter connected to the support member(s). The turbulence promoter(s) is configured to promote fluid turbulence within the fluid channel. The fluid turbulence within the fluid channel enhances energy transfer between the fluid channel and the first and second membranes.
