<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t think I can add much to the original prompt/discussion, however just chiming in to add a voice of consensus from the gallery, if only for your collective sanity. I have seen runaround loops implemented a few times in the simplest
sense (closed water loops with glycol/antifreeze capturing exhaust stream heat specifically to precondition incoming OA). Effective energy savings potential during extreme heating/cooling seasons, however the associated pump circulation energy can eat up
savings potential during nice weather in between (seasons/temperature based controls advised).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These systems at sufficient scaling and in climates with extreme winter/summer preconditioning needs (in my specific experience: large laboratory / healthcare facilities with high volumes of 24/7 exhaust/makeup in the Midwest US) can
<u>definitely</u> pencil favorably for implementation in retrofit scenarios. I have never personally encountered refrigeration loops applied as a solution to this specific sort of building exhaust heat recovery challenge, but it sounds like a great idea on
paper. Whether this really pencils well however will depend in part on relative proximity of the OA inlet and exhaust airstreams. Considering the large scale applications in my portfolio of experience, I’d observe the points of exchange (OA inlet / Exhaust
stacks) were typically far removed, spatially (basement/ground level AHU’s pulling in air vs rooflines/attics for exhaust) – so very long compressor/refrigerant runs might prove to be a critical feasibility/cost-limiting factor in application, relative to
a simpler closed hydronic loop (circulating water over long distances can be easier). I guess I’m a biased fan of runarounds – but don’t discount the potential to really optimize savings of existing systems with proper controls/sequencing. These are often
not operated/installed as intended/designed (just circulating 24/7), so even if something is already in place you might have some low hanging fruit to grab there
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😉</span>.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">**Tangent Alert**<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m in the middle of a project to implement a souped-up version of exhaust heat recovery, but not for buildings. Application is a series of large existing steam boiler plants (Combustion stack economizers)! This will entail installing
heat recovery coils (and bypassing infrastructure) onto existing large boiler plant exhaust gas stacks. We can then capture the heat in two stages: First stage pulls boiler exhaust gas (~400F to atmosphere) down ~100F with a loop to carry that heat into
the deaerator process of the boilers. Second stage (condensing) economizer cools the combustion gasses further (~130F to atmosphere), applying that energy to pre-heat makeup/feedwater coming into the boilers.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thought it might be interesting for some to cross-connect the potential for heat recovery systems in a broader sense. My experiences with deconstructing and optimizing typical building mechanical systems was definitely a bridge for figuring
out how to approach and do the same for hydronic plants – this is one of those sorts of mental bridges that helped me to get where I am.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">**Flailing effort to get back on point Alert**<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wasn’t the best student through my chemistry courses decades ago, but I have a sneaky feeling that sticking a typical refrigerant filled line/coil in a boiler exhaust gas stream with hopes of recovering heat might just pose a small risk
of violent explosions and total catastrophe… I’ll leave that one for the rocket scientists among us to chew on =).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The heat transfer medium is water or brine (like the RAR coil), but this is piped to a compressor remote from the AHU. The attached is a crude mock-up of such a system using IDA’s ESBO interface (this has not been validated).
Apart from a gas boiler for top-up heating, it would be an “all-electric” system. Britain and Scandinavia both have relatively low carbon electricity now. The fact that recovered heat can be re-used in a very general purpose way at a potentially high COP is
quite an attractive idea. We may even pre-heat service hot water. Note also that the sum of UA for all the heaters in the zones will be much bigger than the heater coil’s UA in the AHU itself (meaning supplied heat can be a lower grade). It may also remove
some of the perceived penalties of reheat (i.e. heat pumps simultaneously make both cold and heat).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
