Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include an air handling module. The air handling module may comprise an exchanger within a housing, a first manifold positioned on a first side of the housing and including a first pair of ports on a first end and a second pair of ports on a second end, and a second manifold positioned on a second side of the housing and including a first pair of ports on a first end and a second pair of ports on a second end. The first pairs of ports may be in fluid communication to transfer air through the exchanger and between the first and second manifolds, and the second pairs of ports may be in fluid communication to transfer air through the exchanger and between the first and second manifolds.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a rotational molding device. The rotational molding device comprises a frame, a vessel coupled to the frame and configured to be heated or cooled, and a mold coupled to the frame and configured to rotate about a first axis by a first rotation mechanism and configured to rotate about a second axis by a second rotation mechanism. The vessel includes a particle bed comprising a plurality of fluidized particles, the mold is configured to form a molded part, and the mold includes a cavity corresponding to a shape of the molded part.

Abstract: A counter-flow plate type exchanger is manufactured by repeatedly folding and joining at least two strips of membrane to form a counter-pleated core with a stack of openings or fluid passageways configured in an alternating counter-flow arrangement. Methods for manufacturing such counter-pleated cores are described. Counter-pleated cores comprising water-permeable membranes can be used in a variety of applications, including heat and water vapor exchangers. In particular, they can be incorporated into energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) for exchanging heat and water vapor between air streams directed into and out of buildings, automobiles, or other Industrial processes.

Abstract: A multiple opening, counter-flow plate type exchanger is manufactured by repeatedly folding and joining one strip of membrane to form a core composed of a multitude of membrane layers with a plurality of inlet and outlet openings or fluid passageways configured in an alternating counter-flow arrangement. Methods for manufacturing such multiple opening cores are described. An integrated, modular, and stackable plastic manifold that is formed by ultrasonically welding plastic sheet stock is described. Multiple opening cores comprising water-permeable membranes can be used in a variety of applications, including heat and water vapor exchangers. In particular, they can be incorporated into energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) for exchanging heat and water vapor between air streams directed into and out of buildings, automobiles, or other Industrial processes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for extracting liquid water from ambient air, including ambient air in severely arid and hot climates, are described. An example apparatus uses a sorption-desorption-condensation cycle using a sorption wheel to extract moisture from ambient air and concentrate the water vapor driven off from the sorption material in a circulating gas, with condensation of liquid water from the circulating gas.
