Abstract: An energy recovery system and method for laundry systems that transfers heat from warm exhaust air to intake air. The system and method includes a thermal wheel adapted to absorb heat from an exhaust air stream and discharge heat to an intake air stream for preheating the intake air. The system and method further includes a lint management system for clearing or otherwise managing lint buildup on the thermal wheel, and a bypass damper for admitting non-preheated intake air, particularly for use during a cooldown cycle.
