The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of a heat exchanger with heat pipes of two designs for heat recovery from ventilation emissions. A brief description of the utilization devices used in ventilation systems for heat recovery of outgoing air is provided. A characterization of the use of a heat exchanger with heat pipes in premises ventilation systems is given. The waste heat recovery analysis was carried out using the ANSYS Fluent software package. The simulation results have been compared with the results of a direct physical experiment performed on a laboratory test bench.
