Abstract
A transfer wheel assembly and a method for making the transfer wheel assembly is provided. The transfer wheel assembly is of the type for use in air conditioning systems for conditioning air flowing through an air conduit in response to the condition of air flowing through an adjacent air passage. The transfer wheel is conveniently constructed by having a central hub and a plurality of radially extending blades connected to the hub and extending radially outwardly. A plurality of condition transfer medium sectors are supported by the blades, the sectors each being pervious to axial flow of a gaseous medium and being capable of providing a condition transfer between itself and a gaseous medium flowing therethrough. The transfer wheel assemblies are conveniently assembled by cementing one radial edge of the sectors to a radial face of a supporting blade. The radially inner ends of the supporting blades are then joined to the central hub such that the sectors and supporting plates form a transfer wheel. The radially extending blades provide structural rigidity or reinforcement of the transfer medium sectors and also locate the sector radially and provide a convenient means for supporting the sectors in the transfer wheel assembly.
