Hi All!
So I'm thinking of using an entropy wheel or rotary heat exchanger in conjunction with hydronic heating for my trailer. Has anyone used something like this or know of someone who has? I try searching on google and I don't really see anything that is set up to be mobile.
Here is a video that shows how it works (i'm looking at a much smaller system) really cool stuff at 7:18 in the video
The idea for me is to set it up so that the trailer can do a full air exchange when temperatures are most favorable, then use this as part of the system maintain the temp. This kind of a system will slow the heat from transferring and in conjunction with adequate insulation should help, at least in theory... Oh and the DB and WB in the picture below are the dry and wet bulb temperatures.
