Claims
- 1. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core for transferring both heat and moisture between two fluid streams comprising: an enclosed shell structure having means therein defining a plurality of openings; and heat-and-moisture transfer means statically disposed within said shell structure dividing the interior thereof into two static flow paths each communicating at opposite ends with one of said openings for effecting continuous and simultaneous transfer of both heat and moisture between two fluid streams having different temperatures and humidities flowing through respective ones of said static flow paths during use of the heat-and-moisture exchanger while the same is in a static state, said heat-and-moisture transfer means comprising a member disposed within and dividing the interior of said shell structure into said two static flow paths, said member being composed of a lamination consisting of an aggregate of fibrous material having a thickness of from 0.05 to 1 mm and which is sufficiently thermally conductive and sufficiently permeable to moisture to permit both temperature and humidity exchanges between the two fluid streams to be simultaneously and continuously effected through said member without intermixing of the fluid streams while maintaining the difference in efficiencies between the temperature and humidity exchanges at a value no greater that 40%.
- 2. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 1; wherein said lamination comprises Japanese paper composed of fibers selected from the group consisting of Broussonetia Kasinoki Sieb., Edgeworthia Papyrifera Sieb., Wikstroemia Sikokiana and Manila hemp and an adhesive selected from the group consisting of Hibiscus Manibot and polyvinyl alcohol.
- 3. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 1; wherein said lamination comprises asbestos paper composed of asbestos and an adhesive selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate.
- 4. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 1; wherein said plurality of openings are positioned relative to each other to orientate said two static flow paths in crossing relationship with respect to each other.
- 5. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core for transferring both heat and moisture between two fluid streams comprising: an enclosed shell structure having means therein defining a plurality of openings; and heat-and-moisture transfer means statically disposed within said shell structure dividing the interior thereof into a series of superposed static flow paths each communicating at opposite ends with one of said openings for effecting continuous and simultaneous transfer of both heat and moisture between two fluid streams having different temperatures and humidities respectively flowing through alternate ones of said static flow paths during use of the static heat-and-moisture exchanger while the same is in a static state, said heat-and-moisture transfer means comprising a plurality of members disposed with and dividing the interior of said shell structure into said series of superposed static flow paths, said members being composed of a lamination consisting of an aggregate of fibrous material having a thickness of from 0.05 to 1 mm and which is sufficiently thermally conductive and sufficiently permeable to moisture to permit both temperature and humidity exchanges between the two fluid streams to be simultaneously and continuously effected through said members without intermixing of the fluid streams in adjacent flow paths while maintaining the difference in efficiencies between the temperature and humidity exchanges at a value no greater that 40%.
- 6. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 5; wherein each lamination comprises Japanese paper composed of fibers selected from the group consisting of Broussonetia Kasinoki Sieb., Edgeworthia Papyrifera Sieb., Wikstroemia Sikokiana and Manila hemp and an adhesive selected from the groups consiting of Hibiscus Manibot and polyvinyl alcohol.
- 7. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 5; wherein each lamination comprises asbestos paper comprosed of asbestos and an adhesive selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate.
- 8. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger core according to claim 5; wherein said plurality of openings are positioned relative to each other to orientate said series of static flow paths in alternate crossing relationship with respect to each other.
- 9. A static heat-and-moisture exchanger according to claim 5; wherein said members are disposed at substantially equal intervals of from 1 to 4 mm.
