BOOK - Principles of heating ventilating and air conditioning 

17.12 A heat pipe air-to-air energy recovery device is
being considered for a system requiring 9000 SCFM of
outside air. Initially, a separate preheater was planned for
bringing the outside air from its -2°F design ambient
outdoor temperature to 40°F. Determine:
(a) the rating (Btu/h) and
(b) the sensible effectiveness (%) to specify for the heat
pipe unit if it is to eliminate the need for the air preheater.
