Abstract
The paper analyzes the influence of integrating the processes taking place in the ventilation equipment of a public building on the thermal transmittance of heat exchangers. Pinch analysis helped with determining changes in the thermal transmittance of heat exchangers per year. The article examines the dependency of the thermal transmittance of heat exchangers on the disposed quantity of streams. The total thermal transmittance of heat exchangers is higher if several streams of lower parameters are used. Without additional economical calculations, the thermal transmittance of heat exchangers can assess their size, price and be used for the purposes of comparing the obtained results showing that designing such systems is useful for evaluating the possibilities of integrating the processes taking place in ventilation equipment.
