Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] model "Dry cooler" and "run-around heat recovery" in EnergyPlus?

Use the HeatExchanger:AirToAir:FlatPlate or 
HeatExchanger:AirToAir:Generic models to simulate this type of heat 
recovery unit. If the generic model is used, set the latent 
effectiveness values to 0. Use the nominal electric power input to 
simulate pump power.
