Heat Reclamation from Flight Simulators.

Abstract

A survey of selected Army flight simulator facilities was performed to determine the applicability of heat recovery devices to the associated air conditioning equipment. It was concluded that there is little potential for heat recovery at nearly all of the facilities because the refrigerant used (R-22) and the operating characteristics of the chillers produce compressor discharge temperatures too low to be suitable for any purposes other than chilled air reheat for humidity control.
