Author: John Hollick, Conserval Engineering
SolarWall® solar heaters are ideally suited for preheating fresh air required in buildings. Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) and heat wheels are designed to recover heat from exhaust air to also preheat fresh air. Designers have asked whether the two technologies can work together and, if so, what economic and technical issues need to be addressed.

"This very simple solar collector passively preheats ventilation make-up air via a large, unglazed solar collector. These collectors are most effective on south-facing building facades, though significant deviation off true south (plus-or-minus about 60 degrees) results in only minor loss of performance. The Canadian company Conserval Engineering, Inc., has pioneered this system under the tradename Solarwall."

"The city estimates that they will save $10 million per year when all the buildings have been upgraded with new technologies. There will also be an increase in the comfort level within the buildings and a reduction in long-term maintenance costs, as technologies such as SOLARWALL are maintenance free."

"Conserval’s Solarwall systems capture solar energy to preheat air, greatly reducing fuel demand by combustion systems and saving energy and money while maintaining or increasing ventilation, preheating industrial combustion air, or fully heating air for crop drying. The secret is in—or more precisely through - the holes."
